I noticed when I put my phone in grayscale, when someone's calling you, the buttons for answering the phone or declining it are in red and green.

So now when I'm picking up a call, I'm like, oh gosh, which button do I push?

You really have to pay attention to make sure you hit the right one.

What do you mean?

It's that hard.

You don't realize how dependent you are on the colors until they're gone.

Okay.

Okay.

But for most things, it still works okay.

All right.

And, you know, a few of our listeners told us that this worked for them, including this one, whose voice you might recognize.

Yeah, she tried it.

It worked for her.

Here she is again.

And Wendy, this is one of the things that, you know, I still have my phone on grayscale most of the time.

I think it does help me too, which...

It kind of, it did make me think of a more sort of philosophical question about all this that I put to Leah.

Is it a little sad that like we need to like put our worlds in black and white on our phones to get us to scroll less?

You already have all the colors of your life.

Well, the answer to this was sort of surprising.
