It’s 3/4 10
I prefer saying it’s 9:270°
9:3π/2 rad
It is easier to say 975
They should intentionally make it smell real bad to discourage people to do that, like how Nintendo made ds/3ds cartridges taste bad so little kids wouldn’t try and put them in their mouths
I am so confused by your comment. Did you comment on the right post? What would you make smell bad in this context
definitely meant to comment on another post, super weird! I was reading a nottheonion post about how Steam was telling people not to huff the air coming out of the Steamdeck. Wonder if i hit a bug on the kbin mobile website? Hoping this reply actually goes to you and not some other post!
I just passed the post you meant to reply to and it clicked for me. Weird!
No, he’s saying that when someone says ‘quoter till 10’ you have to fart. This way you will train them not to do it. I think he’s right.
You probably grew up in the era of digital clocks and watches. If you used an analog watch you would know why it was easier to say a quarter to 10. 😁
Because that means the person is old and can’t count from 10 to 9 and change 1/4 to 3/4?
To make me show up 30 minutes late because I misheard it as quarter past 10?
Way easier to just say and understand 9:45 with whatever clock you use.
When I was a child, I lived in walking distance of my elementary school. One time my mom had to work early so she couldn’t be there to see me off to school. I was old enough to walk by myself at that point, but I relied on her to tell me when to go. Since she wasn’t going to be there, she told me to leave at “quarter after 7” so I could be there on time.
I left at 7:25 because a quarter is 25, right?
I got in trouble for being late to school. Instructions unclear, Mom!
9.75
Commented just to say that this is the way it should be written, if it was a quarter to ten.
How about just half past or quarter till?
Hate to be a stickler, but wouldn’t 9:75 actually be a quarter AFTER 10 seeing as how it’d be 10:15 equivalent?
I’m afraid you’re not counting all 100 minutes in an hour.
Ah damn. I used imperial time units instead of metric. My bad.
So, half past 9 is 9:50. I’ll be damned.
I’m not sure if this meme is doubly trolling me here, but please tell me nobody says “a quarter til ten” instead of “quarter to ten”!
In german you’d just say quarter ten, half ten and three quarters ten for 9:15, 9:30 and 9:45 respectively
Madness!
Though not every region in Germany will do that, some think it’s stupid, but it makes sense to me.
Quarter ten for example means a quarter of the tenth hour is over, so 9:15. There’s good logic behind it, at least
I would say “quarter of” 10. So there.
Isn’t ‘quarter of’ 10:15?
(I always use “quarter to” or “quarter til”, but never “quarter of”)
“Quarter on ten” checking in :p
You’re just fucking with me now!
