"I hope you treasure the coming eighty-six thousand and four hundred seconds."

OTOH, "have a great 1440 minutes" sounds sort of like an uplifting Rent reference.

Although you can make it menacing again if you just State the amount of time and give them a thumbs up.

"1,440 minutes" 👍

It's all about the phrasing.

Other things that suffer from this have been listed in memes.

"Butt dial." Vs. "Booty call"

And

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned." Vs. "Sorry Daddy, I've been a bad girl."

Ginger is a root and ale is a beer, but ginger ale is not root beer.

Don't worry you still have ~23 hours left :)

You don't want to know what will happen when the timer runs out... (Hint: the rest of your life)

Well you probably should be

My hilarious doctor, prescribing me medicine that I will take the rest or my life:

"Take one of these every evening for the next 40 years"

Funny but what is it with that background picture? A guy who is supposed to look threatening? makes it weird lol

He sort of looks like an off-brand 'most interesting man in the world'

(I stole this meme, so I'm not sure)
