Story doesn't actually give any numbers on how many teens can't read clocks. Mostly the opposite:
students learn how to read clocks in first and second grade.

many students said they do know how to read wall clocks

Cheyenne Francis, 14: ”The only time I guess I would struggle is if the time is wrong on the clock. Because sometimes they don’t set the proper time.”

Several students said clocks in their school are often broken.

Farzona Yakuba, 15, said: "I feel like most students here, they just get lazy and they ask."

Is Daria sci-fi?

I agree that Hogfather and Gremlins deserve a spot near the top of any holiday watch-list (if very-small children aren't around). Both poignant and unhinged.

Also in the realm of spooky and almost- Sci-Fi, Haven S02 E13 "Silent Night" should earn a slot on the list... You don't need to be familiar with the series to follow along. Here's a good clip: https://www.imdb.com/video/vi1988279577/

The practical, safe, no-hands way to heat-up a can of beans on a bike would be either drop a 12v immersion heater in the can, or for a slower simmer, dump them into a 12/24/110v "trucker's lunch box". Powered with a SLA battery or 12V Li-Ion tool battery pack. Or tap into your e-bike's battery.

And to think, all the months I've wasted because of that sign, looking through the brush expecting to find a misplaced Olde English 800...

The road has been dubbed the deadliest highway in Arizona, averaging 35 fatal crashes every year.

There are only TWO highways that cross the entire state. As the two longest, one of them was bound to be the deadliest. And worse, they say later: the other one is "also a top contender nationwide."

Please don't take his advice about drinking sea water. He was well-hydrated enough at the start of his journey that drinking a little sea water only mildly dehydrated him. Later, he was successful enough at fishing that he got enough liquids from his food to make up for the little bit of sea water he continued to consume.

"salt content in seawater is much higher than what can be processed by the human body." "Eventually, you die of dehydration" - https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/drinksw.html
