Yeah, my basement honks!

I sometimes hear a sound reminiscent of a rodent scratching in my room. Probably pressure shenanigans in the freezer.

You know they call them earwigs because they be doing something to your ears

What kind of madman designs something like this?

I've lived in a place with a fire alarm system like that, but the beep is because the backup battery is flat or the unit needs to be replaced.

Most smoke detectors are essentially a small radioactive lump with a Geiger counter next to it; if smoke gets in between it blocks the radiation and if the number of radiation "hits" falls below a threshold in a set time period the alarm goes off. So, as radioactive things have a half life, there's a point where the radiation emitted falls below the original threshold and you need to replace it. We fucked around with the batteries in ours for ages assuming one of them was low, but eventually replaced the detector itself and the beeping stopped.

I lived near a highway and it was so weird when you started hearing it randomly and it wouldn't go away for 10 minutes. Cars going fast are actually insanely loud.

Ah this was me when I bought my first car... It was super cheap though. But it had just passed the EU control, so I thought it was safe to drive.

Anyway, when I was driving my niece, and her friend, the fucking break disk rusted lose! I drove them fucking carefully to the train, and carefully drove home.

I called my nieces father and confessed, and I asked him how to replace the breaks. He had never done it before, but he's the kind of guy who reads something once and he remembers it. Anyway I drove to a shop and bought new break disks and pads, and some tools, and drove fucking carefully home.

It took me 3 days to change the breaks, mainly because of the rust, I got a neighbor to help push the break piston back in, as the tool I bought was to weak. To top it of, I have either fibriomyalgia or rheumatism, and my fingers hurt for weeks after, even though it was the middle of the summer.

The back breaks needs to be changed now. But I can't do it in the winter, I can't change the breaks in the back when it's below zero outside. Wife just wants to buy a new (used) car, but our budget, due to needing a 6, 7 or 8 seater, would give us the same age, same length driven car. And we need to cars...

My job gives me access to lots of people's homes. It's kind of true now that I think about it. Not exclusively but certainly more than average.

It ain't just on 4chan i see it all the time in various short form skits on reels, yt shorts, etc.

One of my buddies has a Stream deck button for it. Absolutely drives everyone bonkers
