So I think cars are an obvious one where we're going to see a reversal. I mean, we've already started to see a reversal and a return to knobs and switches. We're seeing it on phones as well. I mean, Apple, okay, maybe they run out of ideas. That's one of my... uh, thoughts on Apple with the iPhone as they're, they're out of new stuff.

So they're just like, well, let's just throw a camera button in there now. But also like now there's a camera button, which is another one where if you want to quickly take a picture, you know, and you're going to hold your phone sideways, all of a sudden having a separate button that controls this particular important sub function, uh,

is worth having a piece of hardware there versus overloading a button to do a bunch of things, which they also do, or software, software, software. And so now they're putting another button on the iPhone. And so phones, cars, is there anywhere else where they're re-buttonifying things?

Oh yeah. What about, you said placebo buttons. That's a real thing in elevators, right? Like the closed door button. Does not work. Did you, did you do research on this? Did you confirm that it's merely there for us to think we're in control?

Same thing with the crosswalk buttons. I hit those profusely.

Yes.
Yes.
Don't do that. So this is related as not a button, but it's the area of lore. How about streetlights and cars? There have been stories of specific things you can do at particular streetlights. For instance, and I've been told these things, I've never confirmed any, but I've tried them all. Like flashing your brights, there's a sensor on the top of the light.

For instance, and I've been told these things, I've never confirmed any, but I've tried them all. Like flashing your brights, there's a sensor on the top of the light.
If you flash your brights at the light, if you're the only car there, for instance, and you're at a red light at a four-way stop, flash your brights, it will then know that you're coming and switch it. That's one. The other one is there's sensors, there's weight sensors in the concrete at the stoplight. And you have to make sure you're on them.

And if you are, this is usually for stoplights that have not much traffic and they always stay green one direction, you know, but when a car is there, they just flip for that car. Maybe you're not an expert on this, Rachel, or maybe Adam, you know, but like, are those just old wives tales that they might say, or is that legit?

10 minutes? You're more compliant than most people on earth, I think. I was like, maybe there's a cop nearby here and this is a trap. Have you ever sat there and you're like, I should just run it. And then you realize no one's there and you're like, I still haven't run it. I need to run it.
