I recently saw an ad for biscoff and I was surprised that people would eat them randomly. The only time I ever eat biscoff is on a plane when the flight attendant gives me some. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love them but I rarely think about it as something I can just go buy in a store. Seeing the ad was so jarring because to me it doesn't feel like something I should eat a lower altitudes

It's more of a stupid habit, but I always lock my car twice. I know pressing the button once locks every door, but I can't stop myself.

If you've driven fords for a while it's second nature, second click deadlocks the car or something.

See, then pressing it twice would make sense. I've checked and I know that pressing it once locks all the doors. I do tend to double check my house locks so it could be a peace of mind thing. It could also be muscle memory from unlocking the door which actually does need two clicks to unlock the rear doors.

It's not stupid. Most cars will signal whether or not they are locked properly on the second press.

[–] Guitarfun@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

That's true, that's a really good point. I just never see anyone else do it but me.

Mine locks on the first press, then beeps to confirm on the second (within a timer). I press it twice because every once in a while I'll mix up the buttons and actually hit unlock, which has a different confirmation beep.
