I believe this is actually a myth, post-hoc reasoning to explain away a shitty design

My GTI had triple-square bolts for the seats. The bolts were maybe 1/2" diameter, and I was able to comfortably get a lot of torque on them. Weird design though, and can’t imagine it holding up on smaller, softer screws

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some things you can/should cheap out on?
5·2 years agoIn my experience, the Mr. Clean ones hold up much better. Generic melamine sponges tear too easily.
But maybe I’m just getting the wrong generic ones. I’ve tried two or three different generic brands and they all sucked

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The media controls on my car. Previous and Next are Up and Down. Volume Up and Down are Right and Left.English
2·2 years agoI have a Mazda CX-5. The track seek buttons are counterintuitive IMO, and the Adaptive Cruise distance buttons are too.
Next track is UP, previous track is DOWN. Not like going down a list.
Adaptive Cruise control is UP to increase distance, DOWN to decrease. This seems like it would make sense, but I would prefer it the other way. UP to get closer, DOWN to pull back the distance
