"5 Minutes Later..." Or Was It "Three Weeks Later"?

SpongeBob SquarePants's French narrator (voiced by Tom Kenny) introduces time skips with cards: "5 MINUTES LATER," "20 HOURS LATER," "ONE ETERNITY LATER." The intervals don't follow a strict scale; they follow comedic rhythm. This calculator picks the right card.

How to Use This Calculator

Real elapsed time (in hours, default 0.5). Anything from 5 seconds to one eternity.

Drama level. 0–10. Higher numbers escalate to "ONE ETERNITY LATER" much faster.
