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.

This is just for fodder for a podcast. What's funny is these, what I call them as wives tales, because I don't know if they're true or not, but I've used them my entire life. Just, you know, it's kind of like pushing the crosswalk. Like, well, it might help. However, now I'm getting, you know, 16 year old children and I'm teaching them the drive and I'm wondering, do I pass on my lore?

Like, do I tell them these tips or is it like completely insane that I do this and I shouldn't actually tell them. So thanks for not really helping y'all. But at least now, you know, some of my struggles are,

That right. Just trying to like come up with a unified theory of how things work. You're like, here's how I think this is working, but I have, it's a black box. I have no idea how it's working.
