- And blood. Don't forget the children's blood, which is important to make the watermarks and colors really pop.
  
  Y'all forget to use the whole child? Tears and sweat are free salt that's just thrown away.
- Shhh you cant give away the secret that the money trea runs on the bones of children under 7, then we might either get cancled or people will want their own money tree, and I am not sure what is worse
It should display the time too, because people might not know. And every business on the avenue will have a sign showing the same information. What a weird fad in hindsight.
- I loved how when I was a kid, the clocks weren't in sync. They were up to 5 minutes off between them.
  
  I hated that as a kid.
  Also, my local pool has 3 clocks. The spinny cross one, actual time with seconds, and another one that counts down from 60 minutes, but it’s 5 mins off from the actual time with seconds, and the + spinny clock is also off between the two of them. Drives me insane.
- There was a time when the Internet didn't exist and not everyone wore a wristwatch.
  Having time on every other corner was useful for your bus stop.
  
  You either drove by a bank or called the time and temp number.
  
  Yes, but that was like a quarter century ago
  
  And with how frequently car stereos were broken lol
- The boomers love knowing about the weather
  
  And yet they hate knowing about the climate
- Are you a former bank employee that was fired?
Temperature on the side of any building is such a flex
Never see that in the UK because we just need to always assume it'll rain and maybe go a little over room temperature if we're lucky
Except that one week a year where the immense cost of adding AC to our Victorian houses becomes worryingly appealing
- You guys have clock towers with tiny clocks on the top instead.
  
  Well how else will we know when it's time for breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper or midnight snack time?
- I've seen it a few times in the UK, there's an ex CPC building in Preston that shows the temperature.
- I'm in the UK and my local pharmacy has one! It's fun to guess what it will be as I'm going past.
My country has largely shut down physical bank locations and has gone all in on online banking.
I guess the one silver lining is that they are always open.
In my country they close at 16:00 yay...
- Woah 10.5 hours later than ours, now that's convenient!
A thermometer, in direct sunlight all day.
