How do you measure time on a tide locked planet?

[QUOTE="Drakkith, post: 6845848, member: 272035"] What are we even talking about? I was under the impression that we were discussing: 1.) A pre-bronze age civilization at best. 2.) A civilization that absolutely understands what time is, just doesn't have calendars, seasons, days, or anything else that would make an obvious way to track time. How do they boil an egg?? The same frickin' way we did it for 10,000+ years before the invention of a suitable egg timer. Christ. Does no one realize we didn't have clocks for 99% of human history? Anyways, this thread seems to have split between the original topic on how do you measure time on a tidelocked planet, and how would a society on such a planet develop in terms of their recognition and use of time in their day-to-day lives. The former is somewhat easy to answer. It just takes some thinking. The latter is very speculative no matter which side or stance you take. I think everyone would do well to remember that. [/QUOTE]
