The kind of thing a good coder wouldn’t mind seeing on their tombstone:
DEGRADED GRACEFULLY
Finally, a truly useful flashlight design! Because even just some light from one or two functional batteries is better than having not enough batteries to even close the circuit! Plus, if the contacts corrode at one spot and you don’t have the time & means to clean it, you can still get light out of the thing!
Okay, but this is genuinely adorable. I love how the first kid, after entering the number, was like “what do I do now?”. I bet the kid was trying to figure out where the “call” button was, because if you’re only used to cell phones, it’s not really intuitive that the call will automatically go through once you finish entering the phone number
These days, the concept of a dial tone is rather obsolete for a cellphone-centric world, so it isn’t a surprise these girls are young enough to be unfamiliar with it or the hookswitch. Only place you see traditional telephones are in office buildings and older homes that still use it.
When dial service was introduced, the Bell System had to put together instructional films to educate telephone users. So many people were used to being able to pick up and tell the operator who to call for them, so you had to suddenly learn where to find phone numbers. They didn’t even have pushbuttons telephones yet, just rotary dial.
That’s so fun! How we circle back on ourselves! This is so wholesome

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
