  • I spent hours one afternoon as a kid trying to figure it out. After a few hours my right (dominant) hand was completely wrecked, but I was so frustrated I just switched to the left hand and kept trying. Eventually I got a passable snapping sound and ran to my mom sobbing with joy to demonstrate the saddest sounding snap. She noticed my hands were shaking and made me sit down and hold them on ice packs, lol.

    I’m 29 now and still can’t snap with my dominant hand for shit but my left hand snap sounds decent.








  • I had a cheap programmable multicolor LED lightbulb that used this technology but worse, as it used audible chirping produced by an app. The beeps were earsplittingly high pitched and had to be played LOUDLY to work.

    Occasionally the bulb sensor would hear god knows what noise from outside (nothing in that neighborhood sounded even remotely like the app’s digital harpy screeches) and SUDDENLY ACTIVATE ITS PARTY STROBE LIGHT MODE.

    I let my roommate keep it when I moved out.
