Look at how much soul that old clock face has. Future technology is so gay.

Based and extremely zoomed

Don't forget the scotch tape clocks.

do people really think this is hard to use?
I've never used one to make a call but it's pretty obvious you drag it and release

I have 3 of these fuckers in my attic.
I bet no one in this thread could even make them work

you use the crank to make them detonate, right?

go back to sleep mohamed....

Not one person actually posting the time to prove they can read it. Pathetic LARPing zoomer fucks.

Nah the crank is a bait generator in case you want to go fishing.

Of course it's Hungarian

I can make your mom work, though

I don't live in US so university pays me instead

The day that my ex told me that she couldn't read a clock and the reason she was late for everything was that "quarter to" and "quarter past" confused her was the day I lost all respect for her.
I broke up with her in the next two weeks.

Dial phone is not a common household item either. You are more likely to find a house with a loom (pic related) than a functional dial phone.

I have a vague idea of how they work, but I doubt they'd be usable on the modern telephone network anyway.

millennial cant fix or maintain shit either, because genx was too busy working and letting the tv raise us

Jokes on you my parents pay for college.

I'm a zoomer and I learned how to read analogue clocks in pre-k

Nigga every household had a rotary phone no more than three decades ago, you're fucking kidding yourself if you think there's not magnitudes more of those than looms, a nonstandardized device used by hobbyists in 1st world countries and artisans in 2nd and 3rd world countries

>their
Maybe you should've went to college

*should've gone

>based, redpilled and anti-war
Gen X
Gen Y

>cringe, bluepilled and neocons
Boomers
Zoomers

Prove me wrong.

>this buttblasted

What's strange about that? Looks like a generic clock to me.
t. zoomer

he's implying that zoomers don't know how to read analogue clocks, only digital

zoomers literally think CRTs gave people cancer

Attached: aaa.jpg (640x640, 38K)

We know for certain that there isn't. There are more looms sold than there are private landlines these days. And most private landlines use a button phone.

Only zoomers use the term "CRT"

>zoomers literally think CRTs gave people cancer
So did boomers back in the day. CRT scare was the 5G scare from the 70s and 80s

Zoomer here learned to read an analog clock in pre-school. But I went to a private pre-school, because my family isn't poor.

My 29 y/o co-worker can't read an analog clock though.

OMG

where are the numbers.

How will I be able to tell the time.

Over the last ten years I've seen two rotary dial phones in houses of old people. I have never seen a loom in anyone's home at any time in my entire life.

you realise most zoomers grew up with crts
autist

I'm in my mid-30s and NOBODY had a rotary phone when I was growing up. I think the only working one I ever saw was a secondary phone at my grandparents' house.

I have a rotary telephone in my room.

Zoomer here.
University is basically fucking free (I paid the equivalent of $150 USD)

Dial up noise

Pick it up and crank it to alert the operator on the other end to connect to the line.From there you instruct the operator on the call details. They didn't have a number system so it would be something like "Evergreen Locust 143" as their "phone number" and the operator would terminate her half of the connection and repeat the crank on her end to the operator inbetween if it was a call to an external hub and instruct her on the details. If it was local she would crank the homeowner's phone for a ring and terminate her connection and complete the connection by plugging the other half in to the destination line.

The pulse rotatory phones were only possible once they standardized the number database.

Phone companies discontinued pulse dialing nearly two decades ago. If it's a rotatory phone like we're discussing then the phone itself is converting the pulses into a touch tone pattern for the phone company to handle.

I'm 23 and we only had a rotary phone till ten years ago, and nowadays a CRT is still the only tv here "because it still works".

20yro zoomerfag here. like millennials and boomers, gen z has its fair share of retarded fucking normies. but you guys haven't even come close to the mark. CRTs, rotary phones and analog clocks? bitch please.

let's try restarting this thread and doing it properly. picrel, Nokia brick (or anything that can't run snapchat), DMG GameBoy, TI-83, and moar

None of them work to make phone calls. So you can't operate them.

> freedos instead of ms-dos
GTFO, zoomer.

original clock was probably too costly to fix, or they couldn't be fucked fixing it, so they went full retard instead.

>20yro zoomerfag here.
Don't bother telling us that next time. The way you speak already gives it away.

This sounds slavic as fuck

kek

Gentlemen use "braun's tube"

I worked with someone years ago at taco hell that couldn't read a 24 hour digital clock. She would constantly ask when she needed to get back from break.

Not being able to read aside she couldn't do the basic math of "whatever time it is now plus 30 mins"

Uh, yes they did. POTS still exists, and some carriers can still make your line a pulse tone line if you ask for it. Failing that, pulse tone converters exist.

first time listening to this thought it was going to be the "yup still got it"

absolutely based

im confused
zoomers know about rotary phones but not about TI 83? you sure you attended high school after the 1970s?

He's smoking crack. The TI-83 is still in popular classroom use today.

right?
they gave us 84s but a buddy had a hand-me-down 83 which was pretty much identical

84 iirc just has more memory if you're writing programs and shit. The 83 is equivalent for 99.9% of users.

Attached: zoomer-proof tech.jpg (540x540, 150K)

a lot of us either have parents with a rotary phone lying around somewhere, or have at the very least seen them. but as for older TI tech, we either had their elcheapo TI-30xb or an Nspire CAS with pretty GUI and algebra engine. I got to touch a TI-83 *once* when I didn't have a calc and we found it buried in a dust, hidden in a draw at the back of the room.
low effort post. I coulda grabbed a shot of 6.22 or 5.0. FreeDOS is pretty based at least

Clearly articulated.
I shall save this for posterity.

It scares the Boomer too - it represents how little time left they have on Earth

*lasts 100+ years*
Still can't be beat for long term for back up and games being sold physical only has proven itself to be the best environment for good games to be made. Unfortunately Valve and the rest of the industry brainwashed people into believing otherwise, and the PC case industry making it so most new cases don't even have 1 5.25 doesn't help either, external drives exist but still.
Digital distribution and media industries, particularly the video game industry, fear them too.

Analog instruments confuse the fuck of zoomers.

only american, australian and nip zoomers would get confused at this, but even then 80% of gen xers from those countries are also incapable to understand it

Hahahaha
Good pasta, thanks fren

Blame right to repair being eradicated and the Jewish practice of making everything less repairable mainstream.

>people nowadays don't tinker with stuff because it's not stipulated by law
lol
I grew up in a household with a nicely equipped little workshop and was pretty close to my dad, an electronics engineer that would give me perfboards and leds and caps to fuck around, and my grandpa, a retired restless metalworker that tried to fix everything with his hands and always had some kind of weekend workshop project
I was born 94 and didnt have a videogame console, or knew what vidya was, or cared too much about TV
The coworkers and classmates that find out I fuck with stuff are all those raised on households with no tools laying around, apartments, or easy access to instantly gratifying media like vidya
Nothing to do with regulations. I even know boomers thar just throw shit out as soon as it stops working, so it's not generational either

> that find out I fuck with stuff
that find out I fuck with stuff to be impressive or out of the ordinary

The problem is that they will assume you can fix/drive anything. When you can't...

6 Gears!?

Reverse on the left!?

SORCERY!

yikes, why are boomers so cringey

that's why I tell them to go to a professional that does this for a living and now a weekend warrior like myself that does it for pleasure
my point that it's not a matter of regulations or evem generations to much of an extent but rather what environment you're raises in still stands however

I've seen that a lot on French designed transmissions
neat little detail
