Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

A broken clock is right twice a day, but a slow clock may not be right for months or years. (lemmy.world)

If a clock is slow and losing time, it will just drift farther from the correct time. Eventually it will be right again but it has to lose a full twelve hours before that happens again.

A slow clock will for sure be right sooner then months or years..it also depends on how slow it is from standard time.

A clock that’s only slightly slow could take many years to be right again
