The push to close elevator buttons where I work most definitely work! If you don't hit that button, it take 10X longer for the door to close.
some elevator do close when a floor button is pressed thus defeating the need for a working door close button
Most elevators are programmed so the door close button only works when you use a "fire service" key.
Yeah, I am not sure which elevators are ones where the door close button does not do anything, I think this is a big urban myth or those elevators were reprogrammed specifically for that button not to work. The ones in my building, and pretty much every building I have worked in, do close the door quicker than just waiting after a floor button was pushed. Many elevators do not close the doors immediately after pushing a floor button, and I know this might shock people, that is because there might be other people still getting on the elevator after the first person on pushes a floor button. While the doors have a delay, which in my elevator's case is the same after pushing a floor button and not pushing a floor button, the doors close immediately upon pushing the close button. I have yet to be on an elevator where the doors close immediately after a floor button is pushed, or where the doors do not close if a floor button is not pushed.
@@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440Other than old freight elevators, I've never seen an elevator door that doesn't close itself but like the OP said, it takes 10x longer when i wait for the elevator to do it instead of pushing the close door button.
@@dirtyfrench2926 and some elevators close with a floor button press but yes older schindler door close dosent work but on other brand where it dosent work it will enable when fire service is on
We used a mix of Coke and concentrated Kool-Aid in the Navy to remove oxidation and corrosion from brass drains and fixtures. The substance was colloquially referred to as "bug juice" (because green Kool-Aid is thought to be stronger, though we used it because it was vile) and was so acidic, it bubbled away the nasty stuff quickly. This made shining brass a breeze!
I don't know when you were in the Navy.. But, in my experience in the mid 90s there was powered drink and it wasn't kool-aid. We called it bug juice when when mixed and drank it. We did use the powered form to clean pipes and metal. It could also burn skin if left too long on bare hands. At some point after 2000 they got rid of it. I know my ship in 2011 didn't have it.
The plastic layer on the inside of the can is not to protect the can from the beverage, it is to protect the beverage from the can. All canned drinks have a plastic layer on the inside,this is not to avoid them to corroding the can, but to avoid aluminium to change the taste of the beverage, even wine, beer and canned coffee this almost not acidic (if it is good) has it (canned coffee is very popular in Japan).
Coca-cola has phosphoric acid the very same ingredient used in rust removers, but not in a quantity that would corrode the metal (it would take years), although it reacts with rust and it is good to clean chromium coated surfaces as oxides are far more reactive with acids. In Coca-cola site there is a list of myths about Coke: they say there are better products to clean rust, but they don't deny it works. I prefer vinegar small things it takes a little time but it works perfectly (that has about 5% of acetic acid much much more acidic than Coke) and...it is cheaper.
"Bug juice" has been a standard at kids' camps since at least the '50s.
Usually cherry Kool-aid.
Coke should go back to glass bottles.
Many fruit juices are just as acidic as coke, you would gotten the same results with a bottle of O.J. There's nothing special about coke.

The crosswalk buttons DO do something, it's just not what you think. They don't change the pattern of the traffic signals, but if they aren't pressed, the crosswalk signal won't change when it otherwise would.
It's probably a regional thing. There's one intersection near where I live that comes to mind, where the light only changes if traffic stops at the light, or if someone hits the crosswalk button. If the light changes due to traffic, the crosswalk light stays on "Don't Walk" and the light cycles crazy fast, like 5 seconds, just enough to let a couple cars through. If you DO press the pedestrian button though, the light will change for like 30 seconds.
Other times I've seen busy intersections where during the day they're on a strict timer and the buttons do nothing, but at night they behave like the intersection I mentioned before. Staying mainly green in one direction, unless someone hits the button.
Only in developed counties, not in the US.
@@merakrut 🤣
In downtown, Walk signs will automatically activate even when the button isn’t pressed.
US is not a developed country?@@merakrut
I once tested the timing on the "close door" button in the elevator at my local clinic. It turned out, it DOES make the door close faster, but only if you'd selected the floor first. Otherwise, it doesn't make a difference.
For me here, my elevator's CLOSE button was purposefully turned off as many people spam that button when people enter, leading to injuries.
It depends on the building and what position the key is in
@@TheLastMemenatorOfExistence Wow, that's messed up that people would close the door on someone! I'm not litigious, but if that happened to me, I'd sue them!
@@kentworchYes, that's why I mentioned the location. There aren't many elevators in my town, so I haven't tested it elsewhere (I always forget, when I'm visiting somewhere.)
@@DravenGal It depends on how the elevator is set up, but that button is there for a reason, and there's always a way to make it work. There is also usually a lock cylinder that uses a key that often has 2 or 3 different positions. Not sure how much has changed but the old ones used to stop and run on the key switch. Back in the days before computer modules, everything used to work on relays, limit switches, and floor switches. The floor switches would not only illuminate the light above as you pass each floor, but would also trip the relay corresponding to the button you pressed powering the motor to stop the elevator at the floor you selected. There is a way to bypass the floor switches but it takes more than one button. The door call button actually activated the same relay to send the elevator to that as if you'd pressed that floors button inside the elevator. By holding the door close button and pressing other buttons you could manually operate the elevator and even stop between floors if you need to. This is a function that emergency personnel and elevator mechanical technicians alike use. I'm not sure if that's changed anytime more recently with the computerized controls, but that's how the old ones used to work.
I feel like once a person knew it wasn't a real speed bump, they wouldn't slow down
That's exactly what I thought!
same here
Agreed
I came here to see if anyone else thought this..
It's London. Traffic doesn't move very fast there anyway
Here in Perth Australia the traffic buttons are almost all real and DO WORK! The sound it makes when its man turns green is a sound that lets blind people know it is safe to cross the road also the small circular button shaped lumps on the ground where the button is indicates to the blind people where to cross a road safely without kerbs tripping them up. Additionally, that sound I already mentioned was sampled by a musician named Billie Eilish for one of her songs.
I heard one of those with a damaged speaker that sounded like a tight fart. Like if someone glued their butt shut, and the air forced itself out through a tiny pinhole sized gap in the cheeks, this real high pitched FRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttt....
also there is a little button beneath that spins or vibrates to let people who are deaf and blind know when to cross
@@adamb89 😅 That's hilarious! Great description! 👍🏻
Not only in Australia, same in Germany. In busy roads we also have timed/synchronized traffic lights. When you push the button, you may have to wait for your time slot before the light becomes green. If the button is not pushed, the pedestrian light will stay red in the corresponding time slot, so cars can turn easier (no yellow pedestrian warning light).
That doesn't necessarily mean it influences the time the light stays green/red.
Congratulations on 12 Million, Be Amazed! What a nice start to the new year!🎉
Yeah!
The USB design logo makes perfect sense because it relates to the peripherals it serves. Before USB connectors we used to use the male female connectors attached to chords that plugged into different ports of the computer. Universal Serial Bus replacements made it so easy because they are "universal".
Not only do soft drink cans have more recycling... but plastic bottles, even when recycled, often actually aren't. One CZcamsr who did recycling challenges was even surprised that they just shift that plastic recycling to the garbage, despite recycling yet not actually recyclable.
Plus plastic is only recyclable a few times before its chemical bonds break down. Metals are infinitely recyclable.

Facts
Yea, don't expect real facts on this channel.. most of their videos are BS. They don't care.. they just want the clicks...
Be Amazed is one of those CZcams channels that doesn’t ever seem to change no matter how many years go by and that’s why it’s always been my favorite
PERIOD
that's so true though!
true very very true
Like that it’s video titles aren’t click bait like so many others.
@@MattW-vh1ew Be Amazed does clickbait sometimes actually
Bro I have been watching your vids for about a year now and you don't fail to entertain me and your fans keep it up.
awesome, thank you!
As an elevator mechanic, I will say that the door close button definitely WORKS if there is one and if it is not broken. If the elevator has a large load capacity, then the time that the algorithm will keep the doors open longer. The button is needed to reduce the wait. There are special operating algorithms where this button is necessary.
The traffic signals around me have buttons, but they won't stop traffic in intersections. We have timed traffic lights, but if you don't press the button, they will skip the green man. At regular crossings, the light will stay green until someone presses the button. I have also never seen any coloured bread tags, as we only ever use white tags here. We have labels with the dates on them instead, so none will lay there for over a week and have someone think it was just put out
Bread in stores near me have freshness dates on the bags, tags are irrelevant.
Same about tags. I've only seen two colors of tags, white and yellow, but as far as I know, there's no difference between the breads. They also print out the bake date on a tag. And our bread doesn't really live for more than 5 days
I’ve been watching be amazed for several years I’m never gonna get bored of his awesome videos
Yes and you probably believe EVERYTHING in his videos as true - but as I pointed out, that’s not always the case !
They may be entertaining but this video in particular is good example of how much of it if lies
Back in the day, soda pop and beer and other liquids were glass. Things stayed colder than plastic. It was recyclable too.
Kids could turn the bottles in for change and buy candy.
If they haven't already, Be Amazed should do an episode on packaging that rips off the customer. Liquid soap in pump bottles is my current annoyance. The way the bottle is designed, 2-3 ounces of the product is regularly left at the bottom of the bottle. And I understand that they make that little convex area on the bottom to help the bottle stand up. But inside, it's wasting product. The only way to get it out is to unscrew the pump top and WAIT for the small amount to descend. Or, add water to it, which makes the product less effective. I'm sure most people throw out those few ounces but, honestly, it's so annoying. Why don't they flatten or even make the bottom (interior only) concave so you get all the product? I'm sure if you thought about it, you'd find many other items that are badly packaged.
Yo I thought I write too much but jees how are your fingers
Maybe try creating a DIY soap scraper(because I'm a weirdo) using a chopsticks, hot glue gun and plastic spoon? The spoon needs to be trimmed though
You buy one pump bottle and then buy the refill bottles, which are much bigger and cost less per ounce.
I just bought some long, thin spatulas for that reason. I cut off the bottom of my bottle of face lotion and scooped out several ounces of leftover lotion into a small container. I tried it on my toothpaste tube, but when I cut the tube open there was no paste left over.
@@Carolmaizy I usually scrape without cutting the tube open before rolling and clipping it. Lasts a bit longer and there's going to be some when you can't squeeze anymore.
We have an intersection right by my house where the light will stay green forever for cars crossing from one direction, and only change for the other direction of any cars actually show up. I can confirm though that the pedestrian button in that cross actually does something. You see for one direction of pedestrians the light will never turn green unless the button is pushed, even if the light turns green for the cars.
The loops embedded in the road to detect cars waiting for an advanced turn green light can be set up to detect a bicycle. Decades ago I had a light like that near my home but my 460 lb motorcycle wouldn't set it off. I ended up calling the city traffic control every time the signal didn't work and they reluctantly reset the sensitivity of the loop so it worked. It was a frustrating 6 weeks to get that fixed. Parking my bike in the turn lane and running to hit the cross walk button then running back to my bike wore thin fast!
@@AutoCrete Damn... sounds super inconvenient.
There was a side-street on the south side of Chicago, which would never change the signal, unless one ran out and pushed the cross button.
15:44 This takes Road Rage to a whole other level!
Speed bumps are useless anyway. So what that you drive *a bit* slower? If I wanna run over a pedestrian, I'd still have time to accelerate while on the speed bump or after it.
Plus, once you clear it and realize it's fake I know a lot of people are just going to slam the gas anyways cause they're pissed off lol 😂
I quit drinking coke after they took the coke out of it.
Damn, you were around then? Your lucky
I wish they'd put it back in so I could get something done
I love your videos
If there's plastic in the cans, why do we have to separate the plastic from the aluminum when recycling?
I love learning new things when I watch your videos. Thank you for the great work work you do for us to enjoy. 👍
In the UK we tend to go for bread or milk at the back of the shelves as it's fresher and has a longer life
In the uk we don't have bread tags we just have little plastic adhesive straps wrapped around the end to keep it sealed
We used yo have hard plastic tags on the end the flimsy plastic cover of bread loaves
I’m done with coke forever now😂
With the cross buttons, NYC may be different and most may in fact be disabled, but what I've noticed in my area is pressing it doesn't seem to make the light change any faster, but it DOES extend the red for the road being crossed to be longer than it would be if the button wasn't pressed. In NYC, they are arguably pointless because if they did make the light change, like pointed out, it would exasperate already horrible traffic, and you figure probably 95% of the time, there are people waiting to cross nearly every street.
Seniors and people with disabilities may take longer to cross the road, so... perhaps, the reason. But most others are able to cross in much less time. And some better jurisdictions have changed laws to allow you to cross as long as you can within the countdown time, rather than forbid starting your crossing once the hand turns on.
In California they turn the walk sign on, without a press, the walk sign does not come on so the sensors for cars can change the lights faster.
In the U.K. it depends on the crossing if it’s pelican (men across the road) some in busy areas flash Amber and the green man flashes which makes the crossing act as a zebra (no lights) wile puffin (men same side of the road) they use sensors to detect if someone’s there, on the crossing, or absent before changing the signal if someone is on the crossing after the man goes red the lights will stay red till they cross, if a button is pressed and no one is detected the sensors will not sense anything and the button press is ignored, once the crossing is clear after the green man went red then the lights will turn green
@@erichargrove2287that's been my experience as well.
My town's buttons have never really affected the lights. They just let you know when the light changes.

The trafic light button is real (atleast in europe) you press it and in 5-60 seconds (depending on how much time has passed since last button press) the light turns green
Well In high traffic crosswalks they are usually timer set and there isn't a button to push while others have only sensors that sense when a pedestrian is nearby.
Hope you understand now
@@ghostali8351 ??? I can't understand anything

One thing I always wondered.... Why have BRAILLE on the bank drive-through? 😮
As an Uber driver, sometimes I have taken a blind customer to a bank drive-through. The Braille allows them to conduct their business themselves without needing me to get involved in any capacity other than as a driver, so they retain their privacy.
I read that ATMs are standard, and normally have Braille, since the same machines were used for walk-up ATMs.

In Germany those buttons are reused for boind people, when pushed they make noises to tell the blind person when they can cross
They also include a tactile arrow and a vibration plate to indicate both _when_ it's safe/legal¹ to cross, and _in which direction_ the opposite end of the crossing is. 👍
(¹ - Unlike in most common law countries where the pedestrian signal is advisory, German pedestrian signals are obligatory - Meaning it's illegal to cross against a red man.)
Here in FINLAND we have intelligent traffic lights. They have buttons which really work so cars don’t have to stop when there are no pedestrians. In the case the pedestrian cannot push the button, the lights change but you have to wait for some time. My Canadian uncle was thrilled because green lights were changed automatically when I was driving.
We have some now in my state of Massachusetts in the U.S. I appreciate them when occasionally driving home at 2:00 a. m- green lights all the way home.
That’s actually how it is in the USA too.

Facts
The pedestrian button is linked to the traffic signaling system, but serves to signal blind people when it is safe to cross. It sounds slow clicking rhythm when pedestrians must wait, and a fast rhythm when they can cross. In many junctions, the sounding system is on at all times.
They carve out the bottoms of peanut butter jars to make profit and you wouldn’t even bother to think of it even if you seen the bottom most likely.

I know that the local crosswalk buttons do work. However they only have a change in the timing in off hours like Sunday mornings. Press the button on a Sunday morning and the lights will go through the yellow/red change, but during the work day it doesn't change the timing for the green/yellow/red change but it does lengthen the time the light stays red to give a pedestrian enough time to cross the roadway. Don't press the button and the timing will change from about 30 seconds to about 15 seconds.
