Our parents keep reminding us about the time change that happens every half a year. To remember that the clocks need to be adjusted. And we, the children, keep reminding them, that most devices are already connected to the internet and use the time servers for reference. Which surprises our parents every time. 🙃

    It doesn't even matter if it's connected to the Internet. It just needs to have a calendar also.

    @jespersh why does an oven need to have a clock.

    It is good to have a clock on an oven actually. Just casually reminding time. Some of themcan be activated to start on certainhour too.

    @aviophile a timer, yes, but a clock?

    @electrineer So you can set a duration, set a finish time and have dinner waiting when you get back from a day out.

    @red-knot for preheating it would be ok but new ovens heat up so quick that it sounds like a waste of energy

    @spongegeoff and have your raw chicken just sitting there in room temperature for the whole day until the cooking starts? No thanks.

    @jespersh tip: never set a clock that doesn't set itself.

    I still have seven clocks (watch, oven, alarm clock, wall clock etc.) that I still have to set manually. It’s my biannual ritual

    @electrineer Chicken is just about to be cooked, so makes not much difference to anything.

    @electrineer imagine a scenario where you want to activate oven at certain hour when you are not home. Plus it is useful as extra clock. Better than changing rooms to check time to get your phone or whatever. It is obviously useful to good portion, why are you even trying to prove it is useless for everyone?

    @aviophile I can't imagine such a scenario, and I already gave reasons why. It's just another clock you need to maintain annoyingly, as @jespersh pointed out.

    @spongegeoff I'd respectfully decline a dinner invitation at your house

    @electrineer But it's not "just another clock". It's useful, for millions of non- dead-of-food-poisoning people who like to have two or three hour cooking ops done at convenient times.

    @electrineer It's an absolutely normal thing for people to do, hence the functionality on just about every oven that gets manufactured, the World over.

    @electrineer why dont you come to our place. We have a built in microwave on top of the built in oven. They both have a clock hehehe. We actually used to set one of them to an american time when our sippling was there. Pretty usefull.

    But i do agree, the clock on our washing machine i never look on. Although it makes sense letting at trigger at a time when it annoys no-one.

    Still, it's a nice heads-up for when 2 days later you notice how unusually bright of a morning it is at 7am.
