"Factories tried using whistles and bells to wake and summon workers, but they often proved unreliable. Instead, an entire profession dedicated to awakening people sprouted up: knocker uppers."

I've been starting to play around with being a #Luddite (reducing IoT devices and digital surveillance) and just got a new alarm clock. It was very difficult to find an alarm clock that:

a) wasn't ugly
b) is plug in with battery backup
c) alarm sound options that aren't jarring (beep beep)
d) easy to hit snooze button

Alarm clock beckons
Or rather annoys
Serves as distraction
To my writing
I never slept

New Nintendo hardware has just been revealed!

...it's... an alarm clock. ⏰

This isn't some third party thing with a Nintendo badge slapped on it, it seems to be an actual Nintendo-developed product. It's possibly the secret "quality of life" Nintendo project that was rumoured in the 2010s.
