No good, you touch a button twice.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And avoid one nearby. That's not anxiety but psychopathic behavior.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

uh oh...
hides remote from myself

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 56 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Why was the OK button not pressed?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 90 points 6 days ago (2 children)
[–] cyrano@piefed.social 19 points 6 days ago

And the left arrow press twice… need to redo properly

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

saving it for last

[–] RustyShackleford@lemmy.zip 14 points 6 days ago

Obviously because they aren’t, Okay.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 42 points 6 days ago

Ain’t nothing wrong with stimming.

[–] pewpew@feddit.it 11 points 4 days ago (3 children)

What's wrong with the OK button? Why did you skip it?

[–] udon@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Also the arrow buttons are touched in the wrong order imho but ok

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Because I'm not OK and I refuse to pretend.

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

Because nothing is ok.

[–] milk@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 days ago

I usually spin around on the direction keys a bit

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 20 points 5 days ago (5 children)

I still do this.

I also pulled the little contact pads off of the back of the Netflix button and the other pairs services buttons that are a fixture on my remote that I don't use. I kept accidentally hitting them and it would rip me out of whatever content I was watching and send me to a service I didn't subscribe to.

Not anymore.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I prefer using tape to cover the underlying traces because it's a reversible process, it could help if you're planning to sell the TV or if a button-remapping tool gets developed later.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

The design of these particular buttons didn't allow for that. That's usually what I prefer too.

The button itself didn't have any conductive material, it was a small piece of metallic material on the PCB, that when pressed, deflected to connect the circuit. The rubber/polymer buttons just mechanically pushed down on the small metal disc that made that contact happen.

It was easy enough to pull the small disc off of the PCB, but I don't think the process can be reversed, or at the very least, I don't think I'll be able to keep track of the items removed in order to reverse it.

I don't actually plan on replacing the TV at all. It's job might change, from my main TV to a spare TV in the office or basement or something, but I don't think I'll be getting rid of it until it stops functioning.

My remote is a spaceship, and the battery door is the walkway to the ground.

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Is…is that not normal idle behavior? Like, my fingers will trace lines on stuff I'm holding without me really giving it any attention. Drumming rhythms on a surface with my fingertips is an option too.

I thought everybody did that stuff

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't know why this would translate to mental illness?

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I'm also poor, but Medicaid actually isn't terrible. I'd be completely boned without it tho. Like, no insurance at all

[–] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Maybe not mental illness but this is definitely a stim for me.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I would like to take this moment to ask anyone that DON'T have anxiety and depression right now to come forward and speak

[–] WalterLego@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

Here I am. I was fine, then I had a crisis, now I'm fine again.

Most CASIO calculators have a test mode where you press all buttons except ON in order: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljj4pv69yzI&t=14 (Warning: Shitty music)

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 3 points 4 days ago

Yes, and I still do that. Especially in sets of 4 buttons.

[–] Saunameister@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

honestly gtfo with your depression memes. it's not funny and a self fulfilling prophecy

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

why so mad? also just bc you don't find it funny doesn't mean others feel the same way.

[–] Saunameister@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

gtfo with your baiting too. stop manifesting depression and negativity

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

oh, a troll. i see.

[–] TaterTot@piefed.social 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The correct order for the arrows is up, down, left, right, ok. Or even the Konami code if you are feeling cheeky.

Otherwise, yeah, you nailed it.

That's just teasing a woman.

Anyone do this with pushbutton phone numeric pads? In numeric order, in columns left to right, then an “X”, then 2,6,8,4 and the zero. It rang when I did that as a kid, figured I “called China” or something, hung up in a panic.

[–] tym@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

getting warm requires money to pay for heating fuel, OP

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago

I have no idea what is going on in here and frankly I'm not even sure I want to.

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

I go in between the buttons to cut them into 1 button tall max slices.

[–] PoopSpiderman@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Get outta my head.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 7 points 5 days ago

Nah, got the NHS for healthcare. No comment on everything else...

I did not ask to be called out like this.

[–] ShamanRonin@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Don’t forget to tear those buttons clean off the controller
