@pluralistic My favorite factoid is that those buttons are generally not even wired to anything, or if they are, they don't function unless the fire dept key is turned.

@pluralistic I wonder why only one of the "locks" is labelled. What happens if you use the other lock? Why would you put two near identical and important interaction points next to each other with only a tiny text label to differentiate them?
My guess is the "Lock" one prevents the elevator from moving and the other one opens the panel for maintenance. Or maybe the other way around.

@dwhisper @pluralistic
The option for the door buttons to work or not will be specific to the elevator location, operation, and its maintenance,But i wanted to say that i used to fix skee-balls and the factory key for their ticket dispensers worked in that elevator keyhole for me once

@RnDanger @dwhisper @pluralistic
If I had a job fixing skee-ball games, I'd never work a day in my life.

@dwhisper @pluralistic So, if we want the wave of mis- and disinformation to stop, which will never happen, should we not stop spreading nonsense?
Maybe there are places where this button is not connected. Unlikely, but possible...
I know from fact - living and working where I lived and worked - the buttons are connected and work as designed.
Want to be taken seriously? Check your facts and stop feeding the monster. Please.

@dwhisper @pluralistic Not true at all. Yes, depending on where you live, local regulations may require that elevator doors have to stay open (held) for a minimum period of time after opening, though after that minimum door open time has been elapsed, the door close button should work fine as normal. I've never personally encountered a scenario where the door close button is intentionally not wired up to anything inside the elevator (and if it was, I'm sure it would fail an inspection).

@pluralistic not the let me out button
the fuck you not getting in now button
@aadriasola @pluralistic Not sure you can jump to that. You can achieve the “keep the door open” action without using that button at all.

@dwhisper @pluralistic This has been debunked! https://computer.rip/2023-03-13-the-door-close-button.html
@mwichary @dwhisper @pluralistic
I once saw a detailed write-up of how a single local news story was rewritten, with more and more details added, to become a first-person urban legend (with imaginative quotations from eye-witnesses) about a movie theater demolished while showing "Twister". (Something the print media were fully capable of doing without the assistance of social media.)
Some of this (but none of the detail) is
at https://www.slashfilm.com/1619366/twister-drive-in-urban-legend-explained/
and possibly in the linked video. -

@liaizon and this BTW is why the platforms that compose the Fediverse can and are used also by fascists and their friends (Gab, “Truth” Social, etc) yet those instances are NOT part of the Fediverse.

@artemis Sometimes, some people don't want to see. And there is no person more blind than the one who doesn't want to see. But, no, that doesn't excuse them.

@foolishowl @artemis @shadowfals Until the early 2000s? It seems to me that the Overton window has been shifting to the right constantly since the Reagan era, and it has worsened in the latest two decades. There hasn't been a leftist on mainstream US TV for half a century. Printed media isn't much better, you have to look for very specific outlets like Jacobin in order to get anything left of billionaire bootlicking.
