    Dude! I had this exact alarm clock when I was a kid!

    I’m 40 now and use my phone as an alarm clock. I haven’t had a dedicated alarm clock in like 15 years now.

    Oh, wow. A classic. Pretty sure that’s the one my parents still use.

      I think most people just use their phones. I can’t say that I’ve even seen a dedicated alarm clock in half a decade, at least.

        I don’t trust phones because I’ve had several that simply failed to activate the alarm randomly and missed something important.

    The same alarm clock I have used since 1985. Still works like new.

    When I was very young I had a similar clock but instead of digital with a screen, it had those flipping number boards. It was really cool and was the coolest thing I owned until something caused the clock to start smelling smoky whenever it was plugged in.

      My brother had the flippy one. The noise was a little much for me.

    Oooh yeah. I had a similar one and used the radio for the alarm because I would sleep through the buzzers but not music.

    I still use an old Sony cube alarm clock. I think it’s probably at least 25 years old.

    That was my (hand-me-down) alarm clock in high school in the mid-90s.

    July 4, 2024. The first time in my life I have mentioned simulated wood grain twice in one day.
