i did this with an roman numeral clock just to piss off my friends, cus no one can not mention it but the numbers are 100% useless
porcodemonio
I think the hour hand is fixed to the wall, and the clock face & minute hand rotates around it.
duhqueenmoki
Damn, ppl hate on influencers so much but all I see are ppl who are savvy with a growing market when times are tough
Wrinklebottom
Maybe she's upside down
reallyAhuman
But but if you put that clock upside down its still confusing cause roman number 6 would be wrong
mashimaro
Looks like a deliberate design choice then. Maybe they just thought it was funny to do it this way.
NAbsentia
Also, in clock and watch dials, there is a convention where the IV is rendered IIII. But not here. Definitely deliberate.
IdMessWithTexas
What’s funny too is if you set the hands where they’re supposed to be, you don’t necessarily even need the numerals to tell time.
HengisttheNord
You would think that but a lot of young people cant tell analogue time see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIe2auW9EMI
IdMessWithTexas
That is also true. Do they still teach it in schools?
gtotherizzle
The clock works the same. As long as you know how to read a clock it doesn't HAVE to be oriented in the traditional sense
Eddi3v
And by 'traditional', you mean 'correct'

Hour hand is 'acting' like 12 is at the top. If the minute hand was really at the 6, the hour hand should be in the middle of two numbers

My brother's wife put a clock in their house that has the IV as IIII and I hate it so much
dancognito
That's pretty common to have IIII instead of the IV for these types of clocks. A lot of pseudo reasons, but mostly it's just tradition.
paintingagency
My parents' old clock had that. And it was an old, good quality piece. So it's not some modern ghetto thing to use IIII.
Puolitettupuolituttu
Even the actual damn Romans sometimes used additive Roman numerals instead of subtractive ones, so IIII instead of IV etc.

SamArt53
In the USA (or at least California) they’re expanding into the wine industry. Cheaper to pay an ‘influencer’ a few hundred $$ & some wine
SamArt53
than to do a full blown photo shoot that can costs thousands. They’re paid per # of followers they have. Trying to get young to drink wine.
Greenwaxy
Umm wine is for people who don’t slide deeper into debt each month. Maybe if society tried paying young people, they’d buy wine.
SamArt53
I think drinking in general is for those who aren’t going into debt. Sadly though, for those who drink for ‘mental relief’ it’s much needed
Greenwaxy
Wine is usually the expensive option per AU though.

It's very possible someone else hung the clock, and she never learned to read analog time. No, really.

Or it's purely decorative. I haven't changed the dead batteries in mine in.... never. For like 12 years. It's nice to look at.
ErasmusTycho
I know someone who wears a rolex and doesn't know how to read it.
tarataqa
I had several people in my middle school who'd say "I have a phone with a digital clock, I don't need to learn analog or roman numbers."
evilspock
Which is great until they're taking a test and don't have their phone and can't read the big analog clock on the wall.
VanillaJester
It's mildly infuriating that the only time you don't have access to all the things as phone provides is during a test. It's very artificial.
CarlottaVonSprockett
When I used to proctor the SAT some kind of clock is required to be visible, and they asked us to provide digital clocks where possible.
imabigasstree
I mean, they're kinda right. Like worst case scenario you NEED to read Roman numerals, Google it.
evilspock
It's less about Roman numerals and more about clocks and gauges. Learning to read an analog clock is a gateway skill.

I Google unit conversions and atomic masses all day long. I could memorize them, and I will eventually, but I'm getting by.

All the numbers face toward the center. If XII was on top, the VI is upside down.

Because center is "down" on Roman numeral clocks. It's just an aesthetic.

8PiLoT0
Jfc i hope youre kidding
Minaris
Why? When's the last time you saw a clock with an upside down 6 at the bottom? The clock design is horrible
qroniq14
It needs to be flipped as well. Flip and rotate it and it’s correct.
xVVitch
If its flipped, the 1 is on the wrong side of what would now be IIX which would be an incorrect 8.
IHateApostrophes
Romans stole their numerals from the Greeks. Those aren't V's. They're Λ's.
HassyWan
I noticed this too ... thought what a stupid design... then looked at my own kitchen clock with Roman numerals and it’s the same!
gtotherizzle
Yeah but the X's and I's are clearly upside down
Infinias
But does this make a difference? I mean the numbers are not correct but as long as the clock is set to the "right" time according to "up"
PleaseDoNotThrowHandsAtMe
Yeah, if they have no idea what Roman numerals are but know what a clock face looks like, they can suss it out. Still pretty yikes.
jreno2360
A proper clock wouldn't allow the hour hand to align to the number while the minute hand points to the 6.

The middle of the clock are where the hands are attached...the numbers are out of phase by ~180° if we want to be pedantic.

What if it's the clock that rotates with the hour, and the hour hand is stationary?
DougDeNasty
I was looking for one that did that, but I don't think it is.
bochikiniki
That's what I'm thinking
Eidodk
The hour hand is not at 12 position (straight upwards) which it should be if that was the case.. The clock, however is mounted correctly.
Bjokobzen
Though it probably isn't, I like the concept. Not sure it would look good with that "traditional" design though.
chut7
I betcha that's how the Romans did it.
SumatoMD
Good thought, maybe it's not well fit, and over time it rotated. People looking to condescend others aren't really better than dumdums
BishlamekGurpgork
No, I mean, what if it's made so that the hour hand stays in one position while the clock rotates around it?
ArchangelArtist
You don't understand how clocks work, do you?
BishlamekGurpgork
You have an objection? You'd have make sure the minute hand kept good time, but that's an engineering challenge, and not a hard one.
HeySuperVillainsIGetIt
No possible. Time on a clock doesn’t work that way. The hands don’t stay in the same orientation wrt each other at all times.
BishlamekGurpgork
Fix the minute hand to the face, so the face's rotation doesn't throw off the minute's. (Or the second's, if you have one.)
Welshboy100
It's very possible. Hour hand is fixed pointing up. The numbers move. Number on top is the correct hour. Minute hand rotates as normal.
BishlamekGurpgork
Minute hand would have to be fixed to the face, not fixed as normal, so the hour rotation doesn't add minutes. That may be the objection.
HeySuperVillainsIGetIt
Yes
Welshboy100
I was imagining for the minutes you'd ignore the numbers and just estimate from the minute hands position on the clock face.
palmo
And clocks don't tend to have wall mounting that faces upside down. Way more likely to be an edited photo
BishlamekGurpgork
There would be no upside down on such a clock. But I know of no such clock in existence, so every explanation is more likely.
palmo
What? Of course there's an upside down. Rotating the face is unrealistic but not unheard of. It's almost certainly an altered photo
banur
The mounting point is on the box and the numbers were just assembled upside down.
youareagreatguybut
Clock designed by an idiot, used by an idiot.
ConfederacyOfDunces
It looks like all the text is oriented in a circle, when the middle being "down." In the current orientation boring that 12 is "IIX" and if
Yacobs21
Clocks are orientated radially, notice on the sides that the 3 and 9 are perpendicular to the 6 and 12
ConfederacyOfDunces
we rotate the clock 12v will now be correct but the numbers at the bottom will be 1/ upside down but 2/ with the "I's" after the "V's"
ConfederacyOfDunces
Look at IX and III to confirm that all numbers are oriented with "down" being the center of the clock.
LordNergal
You know, the hour hand is in the wrong position for where the minute hand is. Is this a clock where the numbers rotate instead of the 1/
LordNergal
hour hand? Just a thought I had. 2/2

It's not tho. The angle make it seam that way Maybe. The hour is almost at the top but not quite so it fits that the minute is where it is
