Quieter And Programmable Car Horn Tales
- Hank describes a neighbor honking more since moving to a busier road and wonders about a quieter secondary horn for politeness uses.
- Sam recounts an Uber with a multi-button novelty soundboard including a loud fart honk and imagines programmable horns for expressive signals.

- Use existing signals like hazard lights to convey polite driving messages instead of inventing new hardware.
- Thank drivers who allow merges by flashing hazards or a wave to encourage positive car etiquette.
Upright Posture Explains Toilet Paper
- Humans wipe more because upright posture compresses the excretory opening between thighs and buttocks, increasing fouling and chafing risk.
- Evolution of bipedalism likely made wiping instruments more necessary and culturally adopted.
