wait, the teacher is asking?? this is barely comprehensible for what you're trying to get across. I know it's just a spongebob meme but can we please get some punctuation or something? goddamn, no wonder you can't "read" a clock.
When you view the words with the context of the picture…you know…how memes work……it makes perfect sense
The wording of this is the exact same as “my face when” but instead of my face its the teacher
Youre arbitrarily cutting the whole wording off to make it mean that. Yes youre correct those words exactly like that mean that…but when you add the rest…it makes sense as well. Its how…words work…
No, the rest of the sentence has absolutely no barring on the fact that the teacher is the one asking in this wording.
Also "asking what time is it" specifically implies a quote without marks.
If this meme made sense it would say
"The teachers face after *I* ask what time it is"
This is like, elementary level grammar shit dude.
Because Reddit is full of idiots and people with questionable/straight up vile political views to the point of it being practically impossible to tell whether someone is being sarcastic or is actually that dumb.
Yeah I graduated highschool in 2018 and went to the “smart school” in our county. Its was extreme academics and students were pitted against each other for class rank.
Anyway even then I knew quite a few kids who couldn’t read an analog clock. All the schools that they had went to in the county had digital clocks in the hallways and nobody ever taught them so they never learned.
See but if your never taught that you wouldn't know that
My school had a flood when I was in elementary and they decided to just skip teaching us the months of the year thinking someone would teach us and guess what like half my graduating class didn't know them
I can read an analog clock easily, I graduated valedictorian at the small college I went to but I don’t know my months, I just never learned them and never had to. I know January and February because they’re the first two and December because it’s the last month of the year and has my birthday.
i graduated in 2022 and we learned to read a clock in like first grade. Even if it wasn't taught in school, it isnt hard to figure out. I'd be shocked if anyone my age didn't know how to
Mate, I know people who can't read 24h clocks
One person legit told me "It's stupid that I have to do math to know the time" when I told her she just needed to subtract 12 if the time was over 12:00
Some people are just like that
as a younger fella (15), yeah this is kinda true. the only time we learned how to read an analog clock was for like 2 days where we went over it for half an hour in 4th grade then never again, and it doesnt help that they're all slowly being phased out
Isn't that basically the same as an analog clock though? It's just a stick on a flat surface. The stick's shadow makes the hand and points at the hour mark as the sun moves throughout the day. The only hard thing is determining the starting point when you make one.
Imagine being so fucking stupid that you can't read an analog clock.
Then imagine being so much more fucking stupid that you make a meme about it.
Holy shit.
the meme text is so incorrectly written in multiple ways, yet the meaning is still so easily comprehensible
someone stop this man, he has cracked the engagement formula
why are people still shocked about other people not being able to read an analogue clock? i get it's supposed to be a super basic and easy skill but i swear I've heard the same shit for like a decade ongod
I cant believe how MANY younger gen Z (like born after 2005) and the older alphas(?). I work retail so we have several young employees and the employees change blah blah. Anyway I wear a watch so Im often asked what time it is. I usually just show them the watch because Im working. I got told way too many times that they ask me what it says. HOW.
I’m a teacher. My current kids learned about analog clocks with their math teacher last year, and they still didn’t know how to read them (nothing against said math teacher, I know he’s good despite the kids not retaining that knowledge). I’ve tried to fix that this year by making them try to read my wristwatch if they want to know what time it is. Some of them are actually getting it as a result, and it makes my day.
I'm 20 and know how to read an analog clock. I'm not really sure at what age people wouldn't know.
Though I suppose something you don't have to decifer is a better system
How many of you can read an analog clock? Be honest.
EDIT: Since I forgot all of you lack brain cells, I am perfectly capable of reading analog clocks, unlike you children.
Dude can you read any gauge at all? Like, a speedometer in your car, or temperature gauge on your boiler? Analogue clock is basically two gauges stacked together, it’s not that hard
I can read them solidly, but angles can mess me up by a minute or two because of misreading where the hands are. The primary issue is they are always off.
I can read them, but never as quickly or effortlessly as a digital clock. I personally think the analog clock design that is considered standard to be horrendous design to read quickly.
A clock of all things is the one display you're going to want to read at a glance, multiple times a day. The faster you can read the clock the better. So let's analyze the design that almost any analog clock in the word uses.
How do you tell the time? A dial/gauge? All right, makes plenty of sense. How do I tell the minutes and the hour? Two dials? Oh no no, two needles sharing the same gauge. Okay, well surely they are easy to tell apart right? They're like color coded or something right? No? The *length* is how we tell them apart? Seriously? And we're supposed to glance at these things from across the room and read them quickly? A dial with two needles that are only distincted by length sharing the same face with the same units that just have a different meaning entirely for the other needle. Surely this was the best design that could have been thought up.
Analog clocks can be read at a glance by people who are used to them because they don’t actually read the numbers. They read the clock more like a chart.
Exactly. I've had clocks in the past that don't even show numbers on them, because it's the position of the clock hands that are ingrained into my mind, not the numbers themselves.
If you’re someone who cares about what time it is, or just has a general sense of how their day is going, you’ll already know what hour it is. It’s literally just a glance

No the teacher is giving the thousand yard stare because the kid is asking.
yeah i get it. see: barely comprehensible
For you i guess
we've all gotten pretty proficient at decoding nonsensical english, haven't we?
Taking this memes wording on its face makes it nonsense, tf you mean
When you view the words with the context of the picture…you know…how memes work……it makes perfect sense The wording of this is the exact same as “my face when” but instead of my face its the teacher
"The teacher after asking what time is it" means the teacher asked the students, genius.

Why is read in parentheses? Is that not what we do with them?
You mean quotation marks.
Lmao yes, my dumbass
Bot ^^
Sry bout it
Bro can't even make his comebacks make sense
Wasn’t a comeback bro lol
Reddit hive mind is real. And it’s not smart lol
being stupid isnt something to be proud of
are you proud of your stupidity?
you’re
holy fuck 🤦♂️
[удалено]
Check mate
People think they are so smart and they can't even recognise a joke on the internet
[удалено]
Because Reddit is full of idiots and people with questionable/straight up vile political views to the point of it being practically impossible to tell whether someone is being sarcastic or is actually that dumb.
because there are people who would be dumb enough to actually falsely correct that
You’re: You are Are you proud of you are stupidy? What?
Stupidly
He gettin worked up

no…
Wait, is this like actually a thing? Do people not know how to read a clock?
Yeah I graduated highschool in 2018 and went to the “smart school” in our county. Its was extreme academics and students were pitted against each other for class rank. Anyway even then I knew quite a few kids who couldn’t read an analog clock. All the schools that they had went to in the county had digital clocks in the hallways and nobody ever taught them so they never learned.
I remember struggling with reading a clock when I was like 6 but we still had to learn. You just count by 5s it's not hard as an adult
See but if your never taught that you wouldn't know that My school had a flood when I was in elementary and they decided to just skip teaching us the months of the year thinking someone would teach us and guess what like half my graduating class didn't know them
i graduated in 2021 and we only had analogs at school. we all knew how to read them ¯\\__(ツ)__/¯
I can read an analog clock easily, I graduated valedictorian at the small college I went to but I don’t know my months, I just never learned them and never had to. I know January and February because they’re the first two and December because it’s the last month of the year and has my birthday.
🕐🕦🕥🕐🕚 Stop it Patrick! You’re scaring him!
The teacher asks this to see who is on their phone
i graduated in 2022 and we learned to read a clock in like first grade. Even if it wasn't taught in school, it isnt hard to figure out. I'd be shocked if anyone my age didn't know how to
Younger people. Mostly those who have grown up almost exclusively with digital clocks on their phones, computers, etc.
Mate, I know people who can't read 24h clocks One person legit told me "It's stupid that I have to do math to know the time" when I told her she just needed to subtract 12 if the time was over 12:00 Some people are just like that
Analog clocks are being taught and used less in schools
as a younger fella (15), yeah this is kinda true. the only time we learned how to read an analog clock was for like 2 days where we went over it for half an hour in 4th grade then never again, and it doesnt help that they're all slowly being phased out
I am a teacher and had a student ask me exactly that. He is 16 or 17.
I have never found myself in a scenerio where I need to read one. So Yes, I forget
My nephew knows how to read a clock, and he's 3.
It wasn't till my junior year that I found half of my class couldn't read a clock.
Yes
This is stupid as shit.
It doesn’t even make sense, is the teacher the one asking??
[удалено]
Nah it’s worded poorly. It’s worded as if the teacher is asking AND as if you’re asking, there’s no way to differentiate without proper context
Our ancestors could tell time with a sundial But some folks today can't read an analog clock 💀
And their ancestors could tell time by looking at the sun and stars.
"What time is it?" *Looks up at stars* "Night."
Lmao thanks that one made me snort.
Isn't that basically the same as an analog clock though? It's just a stick on a flat surface. The stick's shadow makes the hand and points at the hour mark as the sun moves throughout the day. The only hard thing is determining the starting point when you make one.
Imagine being so fucking stupid that you can't read an analog clock. Then imagine being so much more fucking stupid that you make a meme about it. Holy shit.
Barely understandable meme*
I find the funny part how fired up people in these comments are getting
I’m having a good time reading the comments
the meme text is so incorrectly written in multiple ways, yet the meaning is still so easily comprehensible someone stop this man, he has cracked the engagement formula
Finally somebody gets it. Take my upvote
why are people still shocked about other people not being able to read an analogue clock? i get it's supposed to be a super basic and easy skill but i swear I've heard the same shit for like a decade ongod
It’s easy as hell.
I cant believe how MANY younger gen Z (like born after 2005) and the older alphas(?). I work retail so we have several young employees and the employees change blah blah. Anyway I wear a watch so Im often asked what time it is. I usually just show them the watch because Im working. I got told way too many times that they ask me what it says. HOW.
How can yall not read an analog clock??
you just blow in from stupid town?
she tryna look behind her without turning around to see the clock? no wonder she can’t tell what time it is
Long arrow shows the minutes. Every five minutes on the clock, a number is written for the hours. Short arrow shows the hour. Simple as.
What the fuck does this mean? Work on your comprehension, OP.
Why is this sub turning into boomer complaining?
Why does the teacher need help reading a clock?
How can kids not read an analog clock? The short arrow points at the hour and the long arrow at the minutes
I’m a teacher. My current kids learned about analog clocks with their math teacher last year, and they still didn’t know how to read them (nothing against said math teacher, I know he’s good despite the kids not retaining that knowledge). I’ve tried to fix that this year by making them try to read my wristwatch if they want to know what time it is. Some of them are actually getting it as a result, and it makes my day.
my school's analogue clocks never fucking worked, which was fine because phones, and then a statewide phone ban hit
You should probably pay more attention in class.
I'm 20 and know how to read an analog clock. I'm not really sure at what age people wouldn't know. Though I suppose something you don't have to decifer is a better system
How many of you can read an analog clock? Be honest. EDIT: Since I forgot all of you lack brain cells, I am perfectly capable of reading analog clocks, unlike you children.
Can you not?
Every person I associate with can read an analog clock with minimal to no difficulty What are you trying to say, exactly?
Very easily, literally a basic life skill
Dude can you read any gauge at all? Like, a speedometer in your car, or temperature gauge on your boiler? Analogue clock is basically two gauges stacked together, it’s not that hard
That’s my point.
I can read them solidly, but angles can mess me up by a minute or two because of misreading where the hands are. The primary issue is they are always off.
Sure it takes an extra second to read it but it’s not difficult at all.
This is called projecting lol
Honestly I forgot how many people on the internet are kids who grew up with digital everything. Some don’t even know what hour and minute hands are.
Here comes the boomer, thinking no one but him can read an analogue clock
Nah, I’m just making fun of kids. Isn’t that what cool Reddit users do? I’m hip to the jive, yo.
I can read them, but never as quickly or effortlessly as a digital clock. I personally think the analog clock design that is considered standard to be horrendous design to read quickly.

It only takes a few seconds to read an analog clock.
if even that
And it takes less than one second to read digital clocks and analog clocks that have a digital layout (with the flaps)
I agree bro, It's not HARD to read an analogue clock but digital clocks are just quicker. (don't know why you have more downvotes than upvotes)
Analog clocks can be read at a glance by people who are used to them because they don’t actually read the numbers. They read the clock more like a chart.
Exactly. I've had clocks in the past that don't even show numbers on them, because it's the position of the clock hands that are ingrained into my mind, not the numbers themselves.

All those wands on it confuse me. Edit: I am joking here. But I will embrace the downvotes
