Believe it or not, pretty much all clocks I'm seeing like this have springs that look like that.

I found me a 1950s clock just yesterday, the eyes move back and forth. Aim to fix it if I can find a parts piece.

Same tbh, but for me apparently I have an iron deficiency, vitamin D, deficiency, and my immune system has essentially started attacking itself.
Good news, it can all be fixed, I just feel tired and cruddy throughout the day.

There's an issue with your android app, it keeps crashing.
I cleared the cache, I restarted my phone, and I deleted and reinstalled the app. None of it worked. Still crashes shortly after opening the app.
Please help @bsky.app
