watching your potato bake
I just walk around my apartment while I wait for the food to be done
if I had a 2 minute wait
otherwise I just go sit down
Also if its less than 30 seconds just mentally guess
there is no difference between 25 and 35 seconds
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak there is no difference between 25 and 35 seconds
Cooking pretzels in lye, tyvm
Replying to Gent #gent_. If you don’t have a metronome in your brain are you even sentient
Sorry Gent, mines full of apples
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak I just clapped to try to keep time
Non American moment, we simply count in Mississippi's
Replying to heir #hyrrulfr okay, funny fire fact, when i count, i often count each number in a different language i know
See, this is just more efficient, because you can drop all the woke numbers and just keep the good ones
got it within half a second, which is about what most people should be able to do for anything <1 minute
@heir what's your least favorite sounding french number
Replying to Polar_ #polar_ Non American moment, we simply count in Mississippi's
Spooky said to do this, so he is not american
That one Kribbles
Pika link this counting test
I want to benchmark my method
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Spooky said to do this, so he is not american
Yea but he looks for any excuse to clap
no redos
obviously
just raw first try ability
I love how portal is broken or whatever that video was about
That video was so funny
hold on let me see if I can find this
this video is really funny
I shouldn't take this one, I would probably just expose it
as someone who grew up bordering Mississippi I've noticed that shockingly most time telling solutions are a bit off from what they should be
Today was not a good day for counting for me either
I feel you Pirate
yeah this thing is pretty off
I got 6 seconds twice, then even after adding a pause to get closer to 10 I was still in the 7 second range
today's not a good counting day, my resting heart rate is like 180
I do not mentally consider manually timekeeping a viable function which I think has contributed to my mind reallocating all such networks
i tried imagining a loud clock and not actually trying to count
I tried your clock thing Max, I got better results but there's still no consistency, the clock is clearly speeding up in my head and I'm hearing multiple of them
