Mine’s been blinking “18:88” for over the last 5 years now. It’s a pain in the ass to set the clock on it so I gave up a looong time ago, and don’t even notice it anymore. Besides there’s already a clock on the wall, on the coffee maker, on the microwave, and one on my wrist so it just adds to the confusion.
Lke they say, “man with many clocks never knows what time it is.”
Exactly zero of my appliance clocks are set. Microwave and coffee makers all get the power strips shut off between use to reduce ghost power draw, and rofl im not setting them back up every time, and my power goes out often enough that I don’t bother with the oven clock either.
My ex used to set them all whenever they came over, cuz it bothered them. I don’t even notice. There are no working clocks in the kitchen, and I don’t need any.
I kinda like those… they let you know how long ago the power was out. useless information to have but I still like to know. Be nicer to know for how long it was out.
I used to plug in my clock exactly at midnight so I wouldn’t have to go through the hassle of setting it. Also, blinking clock = less electricity use powering the display.

The dreaded blinking 00:00. Only it continues to increment minutes so you come back and it’s blinking 3:44.

It’s actually quite interesting & useful information to at least know how long the power has been back on.
Helpful when we also know what time the power went out.
Helps us know whether or not to worry about items in the fridge/freezer.
