Or 9 Snoopy dog houses.

That hole is about the size of a smashed up Super Beetle.....

And a 'dumb' car that got rolled against a guard wall by a 18 wheeler........plus half a Fiat Panda.

The alternative would be to count everything in "moons" and "sleeps".
"So how fast did you go?"
"691,200 ths of a sleep flat"
"how long should I bake this cake for?"
"1/48 th of a sleep"
"How old are you?"
"851 moons. I'll be 852 moons in another 9 sleeps"
Suddenly "the clock" doesn't seem like such a bad idea!

Oh time is real.
Humans can't perceive time. We need a physical or similar reference. If you put someone in a room with no reference they lose track quickly.
In this example, rotations of the earth is the reference. It is a logical one, everyone can see the sun in the sky, mostly.
If you take away the reference time still exists, humans just have no perception of it.
Some say that little gland in the middle of your brain plays a part with perception of time.
I am in the "time is the fourth dimension" camp. Someday maybe we will understand it enough to unlock a whole lot of interesting physics, the obvious application is space travel.
For now we will have to rely on spins of the earth and orbits around the sun like our ancestors did.
I have other thoughts about time but it involves a topic that an increasing number of people take offense at so I won't get into that.

Blind people have this problem; their sleep schedules get all whacked out. It's called something-24, I think...but yeah, we need that frame of reference in order to function properly.
