        I pulled the chain twice in case there were intensity settings but maybe i just turned it off and then back on again? It looks like it might be... maybe slowly down? Maybe it's off but being propelled by its own inertia? Idk it's been 3 minutes now and my mind is melting

        Area Man: “is it off, or just getting slower to the next slowest setting? Is it stopping? I can’t walk away until I KNOW for sure, should I try to stop it with my hand? I’ll just wait.Okay gonna pull it again and see what happens. Is that faster?!Can’t be. *Pulls again* that’s it

        Crap, did I pull the chain an even or odd number of times? I'll never figure this out, time to move.

        Lmao no, not bored @elonmusk would work on this as well, this is actually a major problem in every home. And further more just obvious lack of innovation for no reason. Where’s the buttons? We have to guess at the speed? With s string? Can’t we do better with these ceiling fans?
