This clock displays the number of 1/512ths of a second since year 0 (or 1 BC) in base 512. According to jan Misali's Base Naming System [https://www.xanthir.com/hex/base-names/], base 512 is called tessertetroctal (TSC). This project was shared when the clock read 475:509:276:343:___. 476:000:000:000:000 GMT: Monday, July 8, 2024 6:15:28 AM 477:000:000:000:000 GMT: Sunday, October 8, 2028 4:57:36 PM 478:000:000:000:000 GMT: Sunday, January 9, 2033 3:39:44 AM 479:000:000:000:000 GMT: Saturday, April 11, 2037 2:21:52 PM And before you say that I'm making doomsday theories, no, I do NOT believe the world is going to end in August 2177. I don't want another December 2012 doomsday fiasco. If something bad happens around that time, it is pure coincidence and completely unrelated to this clock.
Thanks to -Rex- [https://scratch.mit.edu/users/-Rex-/] for creating Stamp Font Engine++ [https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/589579521/], which is used to render the text on screen. You can change the font in a remix if you want to (just be aware that if you don't use a monospace font the clock may wiggle which may be undesirable). The color palette is from [https://coolors.co/], but that site seems to be down (it was down when the project was shared)? I believe that color palette was first used for a hexadecimal clock on [https://retr0.id/stuff/2038/], which tracks the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch. That clock also tracks how long we have left until the Epochalypse (signed 32-bit Unix time overflow).
