Does anyone know if there is an api or local library for it? I’d love to make my own physical version of this like that kick starter.
Inspired by this I tried using chatGPT Here's another excerpt, this time from the novel "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway, that mentions the time 07:30: "I woke up late in the morning. The sun was hot on my face, and I had a headache. I had been drunk the night before, but I remembered everything that had happened. I lay in bed for a while and listened to the sounds outside.

Prompt: Using literary references. State a quote that mentions the current time 9:54pm.
Answer: One literary reference that mentions the current time of 9:54 pm is from the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The reason that we have traffic jams at rush hour is that it is in each person's self interest to enter the highway, but as a collective it creates a greater negative for all than the benefit to the one (see economic negative externality ). When you merge into a crowded highway, 1000 people behind you move…
Is clicking on a link, seeing a clock, and clicking the back button that much of a hassle? Im sure it took way longer to write your post!
In 2023 though there is more to a click than a simple HTML request, and while I do, not everyone has cheap and fast internet, or fast devices.

The second sentence is lifted from the beginning of one of the most famous last pages in all of literature.

Reminds me of an artwork that compiled shots of clocks and watches from movies into a 24 hour cycle. The journalist reporting on it was so entranced they kept visiting at different times of day/night
