If a negative singularity rules out any positive singularities, wouldn't a Funsday Clock be superseded by a Singularity Clock?

Well, a negative singularity would belong on the Doomsday Clock. Actually, that might be the proper way to think of it: turn past midnight meaning negative, past noon meaning positive. It'd imply a scale, too.
