We've got this cheap egg cooker that plays the loudest, most terrifying alarm you've ever heard when it's done cooking. My wife requested that I make it "less aggressive" so I hacked it into the most gentle egg cooker of ALL TIME

(warning: probably loud)

@gvy_dvpont The original alarm is so horrible. Why would they do that lol

@MLE_online feels like they just repurposed hardware from some old early digital alarm clocks lol
Good sound to wake you up, bad sound to tell you about your egg being ready.

@timonsku @MLE_online i remember having an alarm clock like that when i was young and getting so upset and angry that more than once i'd turn it off and deliberately sleep in late out of spite

then i had my laptop play a random song in the morning and one of my best ever wakeup experiences was lying in bed watching my consciousness gradually piece itself together to the tune of "The Scientist" by Coldplay

my cell phone alarm is now always configured to a softer song
