Update: My plan to track shower water use with code went totally sideways

I tried writing a simple script to log how long my showers were to be more green. I messed up the timer logic so badly it started counting in minutes but displaying in what I think were dog years. My roommate saw the dashboard and asked if I was secretly a 200-year-old turtle. Sometimes the simplest beginner projects show you how much you still have to learn, right?

The "dog years" display mix-up is honestly the best kind of bug. What part of the timer logic do you think got flipped to cause the wrong unit conversion? Was it a math mistake in the seconds-to-minutes part, or did the display function just grab the wrong variable?

So, did they just flip the conversion factor?
