Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!
This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

You Americans with your imperial system. 9:77 o'clock is 10:17 in metric. /s
I see the s, but you have it backwards. 9:77 is clearly metric time, with 100 minutes per hour...
Centons
ackshually ... the French really tried something like that https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time
IT would be simpler if this catched on. Why it didn't?
OP said Kmart, Kmart is dead in the USA, so the buyer is probably Australian or New Zealander.
or it's a tweet from 10+ years ago
Which makes waaaaaay more sense as everyone uses their phone for alarms now rather than a fucking clock lmao
Ummm I still use a clock. It played the radio which I like as an alarm better. Plus you can hit the snooze so easily.
I don't think Twitter was founded by the time Kmart left the big cities around 20 years ago.
Last time I set foot in a K mart was in 2015 in Greensboro NC.
Wow, they were all out from the DFW metroplex and only found in rural cities by 2005 at the latest in TX. I thought they had all closed down by 2015.
That last one I mentioned was pretty late in its going out of business sale. It shut down a few weeks later.
I can guarantee there was a K-Mart in Sacramento, CA, at LEAST until 2019, possibly 2022 but my memory of being in the area in 2022 is hazy
Twitter def existed well before they were gone from populated areas
Oh wow, I thought they had left cities in the early 2000s although maybe that was just TX. I thought they completely left the states by 2015.
Also the clock says it's 17 degrees Celsius, although to be fair I think it's established that the clock is unreliable.
I assume the 59% is humidity? So they took the time to make the clock indicate humidity but couldn't make it indicate time.
No it is just 59% just in case you need to know how much percent it is.
how much percent what is?
It
Maybe it's a certainty. The clock is 59% sure that it is 9:77 right now.
A great man once said Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. ... so why not temperature too?
Very deep. You should send that in to the Readers Digest. They've got a page for people like you.
Kmart isn't completely dead in the US. There are two in the states, three in the US Virgin Islands, and one in Guam
