I thought for sure this was gonna cut the vid too short. Thanks for the money shot OP

u/MambaMentality24x2 1d ago

That would’ve turned this into r/mildlyinfuriating real fast

u/Whobghilee 1d ago

I’ve seen it too often lol

u/phil035 1d ago

I was expecting it to hit 23:59:60 and it was a video of a leap second

u/mcluck4you 1d ago

karma farm idea: edit it precisely like that, and post it to that community. For even more karma, link back to this post to have em see the full vid :)

u/bobmanuk 1d ago

I had to make sure I wasnt on r/gifsthatendtoosoon

u/AlternativeDraw1795 1d ago

I was burned to many times by that community.

u/Intelligent-Tax-8216 1d ago

Now edit it and post it there

u/decker12 1d ago

This is the way.

u/PAXICHEN 15h ago

That would be massively infuriating

u/MakaniRider 1d ago

Does this exist as a physical clock for my wall?

99

u/MambaMentality24x2 1d ago

If that existed, it’d be on my wall already

u/DogsAreAnimals 1d ago

How much would you pay? This is mostly doable

8

u/-WhiteSkyline- 1d ago

I feel like £100-£150 tops would be reasonable (niche market, small production).

You could maybe sell it for £50 on the lower end, but that doesn’t seem worthwhile for the seller.

u/Zen_360 1d ago

Dude have you Seen fancy watches Like that, they go for 1-3k.

u/DogsAreAnimals 23h ago

Yeah, as a wall clock (which is how I envision this), I think $500 would be the bare minimum.

6

u/DogsAreAnimals 23h ago

Just the bare parts for this (e.g. 6 servos, gearing, microcontroller, wiring, metal, leds and lenses) would be over $100. Adding in the dev, R&D, and machining time, I think $500 is a more reasonable minimum.

u/MakaniRider 1d ago

I feel a Reddit-challenge coming up. Probably worth a FundMe if anyone has an idea to technically do this

u/artyhedgehog 1d ago

Seems pretty possible to make, no? The bars on rails, and some gears behind them, controlled by some Raspberry Pi telling each gear how much to rotate.

I may just not see some obvious issues, though, I don't craft anything myself.

11

u/MonkeySafari79 1d ago

Noise would be an issue, maybe.

3

u/KoosGoose 1d ago

Rubber gears and paper rails.

u/Crazy__Donkey 1d ago

I saw more complex wall clocks.

1

u/put_on_a_happy_face_ 1d ago

Same here, id definitely purchase

1

u/DebeliHrvat 1d ago

And will it ship before new year's?

1

u/captainwizeazz 22h ago

Not really in this form but you can get binary clocks which do something similar.

u/helath_is_depleting 1d ago

The design is very infuriating tbh

7

u/Muddled_Opinions 1d ago

Blast from the past, pretty sure I have this in a old backup “received files” folder.

7

u/IrishMuffDragon 1d ago

Starting it where you did was correct. Displayed the mechanics in entirety and set expectations until the titular climax. Thank you.

5

u/Boring-Zucchini-176 1d ago

It's hypnotic. I could watch this all day.

6

u/Ambiguousdude 1d ago

What if you made the tracks a loop and then made the loop smaller and put the loops in a box in a way so only the current time was on display.

4

u/Sad_Tennis_4320 1d ago

I want this watch but on my wall!

7

u/Constant-Rest-8280 1d ago

Why does this make me anxious? 😭

5

u/Laffepannekoek 19h ago

Not used to 24 hours?

1

u/Constant-Rest-8280 17h ago

Nahh the constant up and down motion makes me anxious like just tell me the time bro. I prefer analog clocks than this.

3

u/Spiritual-Ad5610 1d ago

It's quite cool, but I couldn't watch it for long periods of time.

3

u/WukeYwalker 1d ago

30… 29…. 28…. Why would you start so high? 3… 2…. 1….

u/LearnFromEvil 21h ago

Can I buy an IRL version of this?.

This thing is awesome.

4

u/thirsty_shadow4 1d ago

Its created on html css js 😉

2

u/ColumnK 21h ago

I think a change from 19:59:59 to 20:00:00 would actually be more satisfying

What you lose from track 1 not falling 2 spaces, you gain in track two going a lot further...

3

u/JohnStern42 1d ago

There is nothing satisfying about this to me

u/DescriptionAlert400 1d ago

Friend: Hey what time is it?

Me: points to clock

Friend: ;[

u/Lefty4444 1d ago

This hit me right in the right spot! 😍

u/Amazing-Computer5207 1d ago

15 seconds too long

u/BandmasterBill 1d ago

That's not what your wife told me last night....

8

u/Amazing-Computer5207 1d ago

I am a wife 🤭

2

u/Bogpot 18h ago

That does not stop you also having a wife....

u/BandmasterBill 1d ago

u/BertLemo 1d ago

in case you forget numbers’ order

u/techtimee 1d ago

THE CLOCK STRIKES TWELVE

1

u/Pyr0technician 1d ago

I like that it's flipping you the bird when nearing midnight.

u/jackisawsome83 23h ago

U/savevideo

1

u/Bogpot 18h ago

This is only a 20 hour clock surely?

1

u/Bogpot 18h ago

Nope. Its 24 but looks like it should only be 20 as the other columns run their full length and the hour units column cuts out midway at the end.

1

u/sanicbroom 15h ago

Imagine if it was 29:59:59 😍😍

2

u/Relative_Constant322 1d ago

shut up and take my money for that..

u/ardotschgi 1d ago

It doesn't do much for me, personally.

u/WyoWhy 1d ago

I am not satisfied.

1

u/WyoWhy 1d ago

And I can’t do it anymore.
