was an invention called the alarm clock. Before that men went to sleep and woke up on time with no help, like men should do. There was none of this "let me stay up late and watch TV and play video games, so the alarm clock can wake me up because I can't get my lazy fat arse up in time for work."

Now get off my lawn you lazy fuqs!


The alarm clock has been around since the 1780s.

The earliest alarm clock dates back to around 250 BCE, and was invented by the Greeks. It was nothing like the alarm clocks we use today; its mechanism was basically that of a water clock where rising water would keep time and eventually hit a mechanical bird that triggered an alarming whistle.
