like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

That's the one I grew up with! Those things are so stupid simple they just about can't break.

I had one these bad boys in my first house I bought, built in 1940's. Replaced it, regretted it because than you have to mess with batteries (no electrical wire - just signal). Also felt like the old one was just more accurate. But you can't program them.

Careful lot of them contain mercury. Think even more modern ones do before digital.
