the internet : a slot machine for things that make you smile a bit.

payout rate : 1 laugh per 100 minutes

Aww fuck, I just wasted my laugh on this comment... The next hour or so is gonna suck

it's on average. also, 100 minutes is not 1 hour, it's 1 hour 40mins.

Get extra rekt.

PS : 100 mins is one metric hour, but we're not on metric time

"The next hour or so" both accounts for the variance and is more concise than saying "the next hour and forty minutes, give or take"

But now I want metric time, that sounds nice actually.

my bad, reading comprehension is hard

Honestly, I often struggle with that too. No harm, no foul, have a nice week!

Not that nice, 10 is only divisible by 2 and 5 while 12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6 and 60 is also divisible by 5, 10 and 12 so there are actually some good reasons to keep time the way it is.
