minus-square@Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•3 months agoI get the 2:00, but shouldn’t it be 120? Or am I dumber than I thought? 60+60 still = 120, right?
minus-square@HandwovenConsensus@lemm.eelinkfedilink9•edit-23 months ago1:60 = one minute and 60 seconds, or two minutes. 120 would be parsed as one minute and 20 seconds, or 80 seconds. Took me a bit to get too.
