You're using the `Result` variable to assign `textContent` before `Result` is assigned itself — Guerric P, Jun 16 '21 at 19:04

Try:

function slice() {
  var t = document.getElementById("time");
  t.textContent = t.textContent.slice(0, -3);
}
slice();

<p id="time">1234567890</p>

You can do this that:

function Slice() {
const TimeString = document.getElementById("time").textContent;
const Result = TimeString.slice (0, -3);
document.getElementById("time").textContent = Result;
}

Slice()

<div id="time">12344</div>

or better

function Slice(id) {
const el = document.getElementById(id)
const TimeString = el.textContent;
const Result = TimeString.slice (0, -3);
el.textContent = Result;
}

Slice("time")

<div id="time">12344</div>
