minus-squarepanda_abyss@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up70arrow-down1·20 天前You’re just not holding the flashlight properly. If you hold the flashlight right they work 100% of the time.

minus-squarehakase@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-220 天前Yup, that’s why we still don’t have any clocks to this day.
