Most probably not, at least in my programs I've never made a flag, because my delays are usually no more than 3 seconds anyway

I'm pretty sure it's either a myth (that it doesn't work) or some US-centric thing, because when I worked as a delivery guy, I used to go through probably hundreds of different elevators in high-density residential buildings, and most of them have doors that stay open very long to allow baby strollers and heavy appliances to be placed inside, and on pretty much all of these the door closing button works, immediately closing the door

This is what I and many other programmers have done (not the removal, but fake delays), because it improves user experience, actually:

1.When the user clicks a button that should take long in their mind (like uncompressing a zip file etc) but is actually fast, it might seem like something is wrong and it didn't work

2.When the user transitions between layouts of the application, if it loads everything too fast it will look too abrupt, a fake delay will be made here if a transition animation is not possible/doesn't fit

Weird, all the sanitizers I've seen have a big ass label that says "non-alcohol" on them, both sprayed and gel-like

Just use a wooden or a plastic fork

It will usually just heat up and become very hot, however it can also start sparking everywhere

OsmAnd is a viewer app, OSM themselves only have the API and a website

But I think it's a good one

My brain likes meta-analyzing everything and something like a shooter game basically looks often like Shooting Gallery A -> Guiding Light -> Safety Hall -> Shooting Gallery B -> Drop Gate and so on. Same with shows or movies, red flag drops and foreshadowing are so visible to me that I don't really watch anything unless it's something absurd, or very unique. All films feel the same, because you see the same structure, bare character archetypes, the same Disney-style writing, etc.

I like older games for that reason, because back then you didn't have things like online gamedev conferences where they teach you how to use a ruler, and often level designers were just random junior programmers or ex-modders that thought "this would be so sick" and made really iconic designs that are often unpredictable

Edit: I now realise that people like things like Cruelty Squad and Death Stranding for this exact reason too

I don't even know what people are scared of when they show me this

It looks like an unfinished render of Bart Simpson by a student 3D modeller

Edit: and there are like hundreds of images like this that are just a face which is stretched or contrasted or something

I actually think OpenStreetMaps have much more content. In my town Google shows roads and houses. OSM shows me everything down to fences, entrances, beach boardwalks, positions of every single trailer in our nearby tourist housing and more. This is critical when you're a delivery guy and you need to know where the entrance to the gated facility is. I used Waze to drive, and then OSM Viewer to walk. Even when you zoom in on an empty spot in Google, OSM shows type of land, elevation, where the trees are if there are any, who is the owner of the land if it's owned by a company. I also like that it shows what factories are called and their land border, instead of just unnamed boxes. Worked for me both in Ukraine and in Ireland.
