Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

does anybody else want this to spin counter clockwise so that the approaching time is on the right?

[–]Lavernius_Tucker 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

wait. You want a clock to move counter clockwise?

[–]anonish2 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The hands of a normal clock move clockwise. The numbers of a normal clock move counter clockwise relative to the hands. In this clock, the hand is stationary, and the numbers are moving backwards.

Rebuttal: numbers on normal clocks are stationary.

Would I get in trouble for selling a copy of this for a grand?

[–]aramid 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't know, but it sure seems worth the try. I think I could build something visibly identical for somewhere in the range of $30.

Link to retailer would be nice. What an original piece. Reminds me of a different take on the spiral clock.

I love clocks. I hate that you can't just cover your wall in them.

500 Euros? Yikes.

Here you are it is also down below, but this way you get a message.

[–]theRAGE 3 points4 points ago

Why does this have to be 2500 dollars? Seriously. I will make this before I buy this.

[–]SirSandGoblin 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

you could buy a course in clock making for that

[–]SexistButterfly 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Its a piece of art, that's why. It costs 30 bucks to paint a picture, and it could sell for one hundred times that.

[–]regularfreakinguser 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I guarantee I could make the 25 of the EXACT same clocks for that amount of money.

[–]BUNGL3 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You could make them for no money. Old clock motors and old bicycle chains are pretty easy to come by.

[–]Lavernius_Tucker 0 points1 point ago

Wrong clock

[–]lannor 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Do you know anyone manufacturing these kinds of clock motors? Have googled a little and I can't find any.

[–]regularfreakinguser 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah But I meant, like I could make that clock for 100$ to look EXACTLY like that clock. The chain looks rather narrow and might be special, and the weight of the chain might need a stronger clock motor. and the numbers look like they are from the inside of a nicer clock. I think the hardest part would be chain length vs, time.

That was my first thought. It probably spins the way it does because it's essentially just a bike chain hanging from the minute hand of a normal clock movement. Making it spin the other way would take an extra gear, which would actually require some small measure of effort and innovation to earn the $2500 it appears to be priced at.

[–]BUNGL3 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yours should be the top comment. While very cool, this is an old clock motor with a bicycle chain thrown on it for $2,500. I know I'll never get rich because I would never have the balls to do something like that.

[–]Wurm42 1 point2 points ago

Who makes it? Where did it come from?

[–]2phresh[S] 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, not too sure. Just a pic I found in a gallery somewhere online a while ago and saved.

I smell a challenge to build one of these for the cheep.

how does it work? (I'm a dumbass)

[–]Eric2255 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah I don't understand either. How would you know what 11:30 looks like? or for that matter what is the time on that clock in the picture? 11 something?

[–]drethedog 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's easy, whenever you see, let's say 11, you multiply it by 3.14159265, minus 1/4 for 15, 1/2 for 30 or 3/4 for 45. Easy Peasy!

Considerably cheaper though! (The one in OPs pic is $2500)
