Come on…this is simply a marketing idea to get people to notice that it’s open all of the time – neither win nor fail…I can’t wait until all of the competent failblog people come back from vacation…
That’s what I came in here to say. The FAILblog mods fail more than anybody, by not realizing that obvious jokes and gimmicks are intentional, and not fails.
You don’t need this strip mall for that; the length of a day on Earth has been (and will continue to be) lengthening steadily at the breakneck pace of 1.7 miliseconds every century for billions of years.
I guess that it was just an exaggeration. I have seen this kind of sign all the time. It pretty much means: “We’re open longer than you could possibly be!”
+1 : This is deliberate. We see those a lot around here too. Also seen : 27 hours per day, 8 days a week (for Katilsday, obviously), and/or 400 days per year.
It does make sense (the discount liquor helps). There is a long-standing suspicion that the cause of the well-known lost socks is that the spinning dryer drum opens a gateway in spacetime, causing the sock to end up elsewhere/elsewhen. Perhaps conservation of mass/energy results in a compensatory local lengthening of time; e.g. the 24.5-hour day here.
um, fail. Big time. That would give you an extra day in 48 days. (30 mins a day, 2 days = 1 hour, 48 days = 24 hours).
Furthermore, the Leap Day has to do with the earth’s orbit around the sun, not the rotation on its axis. “February 29 is a date that usually occurs every four years, and is called leap day. This day is added to the calendar in leap years as a corrective measure, because the earth does not orbit around the sun in precisely 365 days.”
Not really a fail I think there’s more minutes in a day besides exactly 24 hours i think it’s like 24 hours and 24 minutes but nobody keeps time like that the only fail is the “discount liquor”lol
If our time measurement was off by 24 minutes a day, we’d be off by one day every 60 days, or a bit more than 6 days a year. We’d need a leap MONTH every 5 years to fix that.
60 days x 24 min/day = 60 x 24 min = 24 x 60 min = 24 hr.
Noooooooooooo!!!!
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss!!
This is no laughing matter!! I wanted them open for 25 hours!!!!!!
discount liquor is worth 1/2 h less !!!!
Liquor? I am worried about the laundromat.
Liquor? I don’t even know ‘er!
*flees*
♫Ain’t got nothin’ but love babe, eight days a week.♪
GRRRR… This was supposed to be a new thread.
Ah, the Fail is strong with this one.
*boots loler away from friends*
*reaches for preferred implement*
*Tilts hat to a jaunty angle*
I’m still worried about my liquor…
A beer store for those who mchange time or even stop it with a stopwatch!
Finally I been waiting forever
first! I win at life!
guess again
Comment #1 in thread: Fail.
Comment #2 in thread: Win.
Comment #3 in thread: Cannot be judged until after posted. Sorry, but that’s the rules.
See, and I would have considered “Discount Liquor” to be the fail in this case…
At Discount Liquor, do they have Absolutely Vodka and Don’t Know Jack Daniels Whiskey?
I figure the TARDIS didn’t had a washing machine so I built this store for that reason
Remember to choose a designated dryer.
Don’t be agitated when the cop stops you.
That extra half hour is just a wash.
Suddenly I miss fluffy.
I can’t wait to welcome her back to the fold.
I do wish Fluffy would hang out here more often.
I’d tell her so, but I’m afraid she would say, “IT’S A (lint) TRAP!!”
Temporal paradox win!
thank you at least someone caught that its possibly a win if the guy who made the sign was a math grad and was trying to say two meanings
So THAT’S who’s been borking the STC!!
And they’re making a clean getaway!
Well, they didn’t say IN A ROW…
… and when they said they serve “Breakfast Any Time,” I ordered French Toast during the Revolution …
well, it doesn’t matter:
this mat was only open for 1 day and 30 minutes, and then it closed!
never closed might also be appropriate here.
never clothes’d?
So THIS is where they wash all the Hogwarts laundry!
That’s more than a 1/2-blood princely comment.
The trick is finding the washer that’s invisible to the muggles.
It the one that requires a bit of knuts to make it work.
Otherwise, it takes a galleon of liquid detergent to get the clothes clean.
But house-elves haven’t got any money!
They must close half an hour to clean the laundry…
They take a 30 minute break the first Sunday of November.
I blame the discount liquor!
dang! the owner must be chuck norris! to be able to slow down the rotation of Earth!
He slows down the rotation of the earth when all washing machines spin in the same direction.

So does that actually mean they’re open a total of 12 hours? Twenty-four (half hours) a day?
So I’m not the only one who considered this
Well that could be a “mixed number” as in 12 1/2 which would mean they open for 25/2 hours… 12.5 hours
but 24 1/2 is a mixed number.. and is what’s written, not 12 1/2
They put 110% into it!
Well i always wanted the days to be longer so why not? ;D
You don’t need this strip mall for that; the length of a day on Earth has been (and will continue to be) lengthening steadily at the breakneck pace of 1.7 miliseconds every century for billions of years.
I’ll see your 24, and I’ll raise you 1/2. Exponentially.
What planet are YOU on buddy?
Obviously on Mars where a full day is 24.5 Earth hours. Talk about illegal aliens…..
Dang, it took this long for someone to mention the day length on Mars? I’m disappointed.
Also disappointed because I wasn’t first with it.
I guess that it was just an exaggeration. I have seen this kind of sign all the time. It pretty much means: “We’re open longer than you could possibly be!”
+1 : This is deliberate. We see those a lot around here too. Also seen : 27 hours per day, 8 days a week (for Katilsday, obviously), and/or 400 days per year.
Exactly — which is why this is much more of a WIN than a FAIL.
Well, it also doesn’t say 24 1/2 a day. It could be over a week. Maybe even months.
Discount Liquor needs to be a “WIN!!” Maybe even a double win!
WIN!!!
If you are going to make that stupid pink jeep a win and this a fail I might have to think about not wasting my valuable work hours on this site.

Twenty four half hours? So they’re open for half of each and every hour of the day? Sounds like Washington is in on this.
Two words: Daylight. Savings.
obviously for the dark hour.
Hahahaha!! I was about to make that comment!!! XD
Technicly the sign is right. There are 24.5 hours in a day. Every four yeasr they add up to another 24 hours. That’s why we have leap years.
um, fail. Big time. That would give you an extra day in 48 days. (30 mins a day, 2 days = 1 hour, 48 days = 24 hours).
Furthermore, the Leap Day has to do with the earth’s orbit around the sun, not the rotation on its axis. “February 29 is a date that usually occurs every four years, and is called leap day.

math fail
Mars Liquors.
Failblog threads- where any attempt at irony will fail.
Welcome to the Dark Hour…
Not really a fail I think there’s more minutes in a day besides exactly 24 hours i think it’s like 24 hours and 24 minutes but nobody keeps time like that the only fail is the “discount liquor”lol

60 days x 24 min/day = 60 x 24 min = 24 x 60 min = 24 hr.
You lost cooliio quite a ways back there, son.
Hey! Maybe they close every 24 1/2 hours. You don’t know, judgy. ;o)
omg
Just thought I should point this out, 24.5 hours is almost the exact length of one day on Mars. Maybe there not from around here?
More plausible than the “there’s 24 1/2 hours in a day” that’s being spouted here.
Discount liquor will do that to your cognition.
They never say 24.5 hours a _day_.
Maybe it’s open 24.5 hours a week?
“…and then we are closing for good!”
It’s like the Twilight Zone, 30 minutes out of time.
Hoh!
It’s obviously all the time _and lunch hour_.
That’s 24,5 hours. 25 hours here in EU in general and 26 hours in France. Them overlapping is a very small detail widely disregarded in marketing.
