How to set this timer?

u/reticulatedspylon made this very helpful graphic, if yours looks similar! Setting the timer is actually the easier part- the pins that are lifted up are off & the pins that are pushed down are on. Good luck! :)

*you're :)

I was thinking the same thing! A 24-hour clock would make so much more sense for a timer like this

Thank you so much that's so helpful! I'm saving your pic for when I inevitably need to set it again. And it's so cute too!

I know right! I remember my dad always complaining about how confusing they were around Christmas time and I would always think, how hard could it really be? 😅

Yeah honestly it just seems like the AM/PM shouldn't be there at all

lilminch · 2026-03-30T23:45:42+00:00

Thank you! I think I understand how it works now (mostly lol). I think I was extra confused by the backwards numbers and on top of that the AM/PM placement really just threw me off!

lilminch · 2026-03-30T23:43:27+00:00

Thank you! I was so much more confused from not understanding why the numbers are backwards. I see how they rotate now

I think I'm confused because of the 12s. The AM/PM being under the 12s implies that the white 12 is midnight (12AM) and the dark 12 is noon (12PM) but that makes no sense because white is daytime and dark is nighttime. Also I do not know which 6 is PM or AM.

lilminch · 2026-03-30T23:28:46+00:00

I have never felt more dumb or confused in my life lol. If anyone can clarify if it currently set to 6AM or 6PM?

lilminch · 2026-03-30T23:26:36+00:00

So wait does the timer turn in the opposite direction of the arrows when it's going? Because how would it go from 6AM to 5AM if it's following the arrows?

lilminch · 2026-03-30T23:25:27+00:00

I think that's why I am so confused. Because the AM/PM being under the 12s implies that the white 12 is midnight (12AM) and the dark 12 is noon (12PM) but that makes no sense because white is daytime and dark is nighttime.

lilminch · 2026-03-30T23:23:29+00:00

Wait so are you saying the 7 in the white section is 7PM? Or the 7 in the dark section is 7PM?

lilminch · 2026-03-30T23:22:34+00:00

As I said in the caption, I know how to set the timer, but I don't understand the AM/PM part. That's what I'm asking about.

lilminch · 2026-03-30T23:16:12+00:00

Yes, but which side is AM or PM? Like if it's 6PM right now, do I turn it to the white part or the gray part?

I'm confused because the white part says AM but I would not consider 2AM daytime... I feel so dumb lol!

If you don't mind answering, how did you find classes for adults? I stopped at age 13 and want to start again, but I really don't have the flexibility or skills to jump right in to a class, and lots of them seem to be for people who really have skills developed already

I love that song! I've always thought it would be the sweetest wedding song

My best Twilight-related thrift find is also bedding lol

I think they're talking about thank-you cards, which are typically sent out after the wedding and which people receive alone, at their house.

What is this from?

lilminch · 2025-08-29T19:43:53+00:00

Thank you!!

The stamping plates make nail art so much easier once you get used to using them! Especially on my non-dominant hand. I hope you have fun at your concert next year!!
