Sure, the whole world is on fire right now, but there are also little things to be upset about. ☝😉

I had a mine pickup that had a blue LED for the indicator that the buggy whip was on. That thing was a fucking laser at night, shining right into my eyeball. I eventually got fed up and made a duct tape flap to put right above it so I could still tell it was on (my feet would be blue) but my retinas would still be intact

Yeah, it's way worse in vehicles haha. I have an aftermarket entertainment system in my 2006 Matrix -- it has three modes: Daytime colours (bright), nighttime colours (dark blue but still bright), and screen off. Highway driving at night means the only real option is screen off. I otherwise really like the system, but it seems like a huge oversight. It seems that none of the developers of these things ever actually test them in nighttime driving/working conditions.

I don't miss much about the 2013 Prius but it had what was basically a blackout mode, akin to the old Saabs, where almost everything inside the car that was illuminated would turn off.
Great for cruise control on the highway at night.

I'm sorry, but what on earth is a "buggy whip"

A tall flag that attaches to your pickup. It has a light on the end.
It prevents this from happening:

Interesting, I think that is about the last thing I would have guessed but it makes sense

Yeah it's not intuitively named. I suspect the term came from Australian miners that made their way to north america.
