I've seen the layout on the back of so many digital clocks. There are a couple or a few recessed holes for screws. And there is a small spring suspended lever that allows for the setting of the time or the alarm. Clamp one "U" of a paper clip with pliers, reducing its width. This will fit in the hole.
Make a bend directing the longer part of the paperclip towards the lever. Bend it again and catch the lever to direct it in the direction that will allow for alarm setting and therefore display what time the alarm is set for. Then set the alarm to 4:20. Impresses friends for several seconds. Won't work on certain models…Sorry. Mine has one tight loop for a subtle necessary change of length.
Nothing to do with this then?

Read 3 times. Still don't get it. |
|
| |
I get the 4:20 part...but the rest of it? I'm puzzled. |
|
| |
I'm afraid I don't get any of this at all. 4:
20? Did I miss something out in my
youth? |
|
| |
Just Googled it - dude, I'm way behind. |
|
| |
if this impresses your friends, they are not worthy of you! +1 nevertheless. |
|
| |
I knew a guy who refused to put a battery in his (analogue) watch as that would stop it being 4:20 all day. |
|
| |
[po] This is why I specified "several seconds". Though, I still love those that are, sadly, impressed for an extended period of time. |
|
| |
[stilgar] Setting an anolog clock to 4:20 is more obvious. The digital clock was just the next step. Though, I'm surely not going to give myself too much credit for it. |

MacGyver would never waste his time doing this. And what the hell is a "hoots down"? |
|
| |
[Worldengineer] "To hoot down"-It means to smoke marijuana. |
|
| |
I am aware that MacGyver would never spend his time doing this. It isn't his style. I'm keeping the title, though. |
|
| |
[po] You are right. 4:20 is arbitrary. Let's light one up. |
|
| |
I am often inclined to adhere to a 4:20 schedule when with friends. When April 20th comes around it is a holiday. We do need more of those. |
|
| |
There are more on you than most. |
|
| |
[jscottpete], you can edit your annotations. I note that the great bulk of comments on your ideas come from you. Are you having separate, disconnected thoughts every ten minutes, or so. Is this a coincidence? |
|
| |
Now that's the UnaBubba I missed! |
|
| |
I've had racing thoughts since way before any recreational drug use. |
|
| |
It seems an attentive baker would likely anno his or her ideas more. |
|
| |
I'm with [machiavelli]. I get the 4:20 part but what has MacGyver got to do with anything? Are you suggesting that the ability to break a digital clock is a skill one might naturally associate with him? To be honest I have no idea who he is other than that Marge's sisters always rush home to see his show (then spark up a ciggy). |

The concept of MacGyver fixing something with a paper clip is a joke in the U.S. |
|
| |
[dob] MacGyver was a sitcom in the 80's about a man who used science, wit, and duct tape to fight crime and save damsels. |
|
| |
[jsp] Hadn't heard that one. How does it go? |
|
| |
[Worldgineer] It isn't a specific joke. |
|
| |
I'm with 420 of the populos here...eh? |
|
| |
Short-term memory damage..... |
