Cool stuff about everyday stuff

platformer [Edit] [Delete] 15:01, 28 August '12

Tell me some stuff.

The `close doors` buttons in lifts don't usually do anything - they're just there to make you feel like you're in control. And they look nice next to the `open doors` button.

The buttons at most pedestrian crossings at junctions don't do anything either - the little green dude will appear according to the phasing of the lights.

Websites that compare prices etc could give you the results instantly, but choose to take a few seconds with a `SCANNING` animation because it makes you trust them more.

That `new car smell` is deliberately added so you feel good about your new car.

Something about cash machines I don't remember.

Now you.
