How the hell would I be able to keep track of those 3 days without a potato clock? 😩

[-] pewpew@feddit.it 1 points 2 months ago

Just count every second, easy

[-] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

no rules against lemon clocks

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

I am a potato, does this mean if I check the time during the competition that I am disqualified even if I did not physically construct a potato clock?

Depends: 300 million what?

If it's dollars? Sure!

If it's feral hogs, I guess I better learn how and get to building ASAP!

Edit: Oh wait, re-read it! It seems I get the 300 million feral hogs in advance?

Yeah, I DEFINITELY won't be able to construct anything while some lunatic desperately attempts to cram hundreds of millions of deadly swine into my 3rd floor apartment 😬

I never understood why in the US (North America? Europe?) children do this experiment with potatoes. Use a citric fruit instead, much better at moving ions around.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 2 months ago

Probably because potatoes are less messy than citrus fruits. No teacher wants to deal with an even stickier classroom.

I think it’s because every American thinks they’re Irish

[-] cattywampas@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

But potatoes are from the Americas

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

If you go back far enough, it's all Pangaea 🤷

[-] ultrahamster64@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

NOOOOOOOOOO

[-] wuffah@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

What’s the money even worth without my tater time? :(

[-] grapefruittrouble@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

what am i going to do with 300million potatoes if i can’t build clocks for 3 days?

[-] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Slightly off topic, but I’m curious if anyone here knows how to overclock a potato.

[-] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yes, but first you must overcome the friction from the starches by adding butter.
