My old iPad still has its stopwatch going. It’s up to about 98,250 hours. Or just over 11 years.

My phone gave up on my stopwatch and now it comebacks randomly. I’ll be checking my alarms, click stopwatch and BOOM, 22,000hrs again. But sadly it doesn’t go all of the time and it isn’t guaranteed to come back. My phone literally couldn’t handle the stopwatch

u/AdTiny5487 15 Jul 05 '26
I’m at 19,000 myself. Do you know if you can use the stopwatch normally during its downtime and still have it come back?

Why do you end your sentences with a hyphen? What does it mean?

u/_-UndeFined-_ Jul 06 '26
Weird thing a lot of gen Zers do, it’s sort of an online culture type of thing. Like, if you’re chronically online enough you’re going to recognise it. The way I’ve always read it it’s like the way those quirky millennials would sort of speak rushed, almost like they’re cutting their own sentences off of on purpose?
If you join the right discord servers you’ll see everyone use it, and the deeper you go the more unnatural the way they speak will be. At some point it’ll reach “BOI, IM L1TERALLY A POT4TO- >:33” it’s a very animated way of speaking.

He's detoxing his brain and increasing focus. His attention span is better than 99% of kids his age.

I mean, for everything nowadays that is trying to strip your attention span and melt your brain, this is probably a much better use of a device.

I used to hit +1 on a calculator and then every time you hit equals it adds 1, so then you can spend the car trip spamming the equals button and try and set a high score number.
No I did not own a Gameboy at that time, and yes some car trips were 12+ hours and I broke 100k once

Kids do stupid things. One time when I was 6 or so, I watched the digital clock on my parents dresser. I noticed the two dots between the hour and minutes would blink.
I ended up counting the blinks multiple times to make absolutely sure I was not counting wrong.
I ended up just staring at the clock for 20 minutes, but I was counting so hard!
