I bought a regular analog clock, and it came with a note saying:
Take yourself a picture
Around a special time
And though you will not hear my tick
You'll see it just fine
How can this be?

The "special time" is
something like 10:05,
a time at which
the hour and minute hands of the clock form a tick shape: $\checkmark$.
Thus,
you can't hear the "tick" of the clock, but you can see the tick.

$\begingroup$ @rybo111 I'm not sure why, since it should be rendered using PSE's built-in thing like other mathematical symbols. Can you see other MathJax rendering here without issues? (And whoops, deleted my spoilery comment.) $\endgroup$ Sep 26, 2020 at 15:31

$\begingroup$ Perhaps it's a bug with spoilers? Kinda weird as if I post a comment it suddenly displays... $\endgroup$– rybo111Sep 26, 2020 at 15:46
