`ffmpeg` introduced some weird color artifacts into the gif, but it looks kinda cool

anyway this is a sketch of a decimal time analog clock: the dial displays 100 divisions, the red arm tells seconds, the arm with the circle tells hectoseconds (~1.5 minutes), and the third arm tells myria-seconds (almost 3 hours)

ah, that's more like it
