I always loved how the calls came to a screeching halt whenever that tiny beep would fill Adam and Drew's focused ears, lol Thanks for another classic, entertaining clip.
I love how they immediately abandon any conversation about love/sexual issues and zero in on the smoke detector. It's like they had an unspoken rule that they're obligated to do it once they hear the noise. 😆
I mean she basically describes exactly how all NPCs cope with the chirp - they just ignore it. A result of the most natural coping mechanisms built into the human brain, kind of like how the extremely rare cases of people who can't stop hiccuping and hiccup for 30 years straight, just tune it out to be as natural as breathing. An ear piercing chirp every 60 seconds is no different than breathing to the most common NPC. Of course the real implication here is that MOST normal people go insane after about 5 minutes let alone four fucking years, that is where the animals are separated from those with a conscious lmao. These NPCs clearly and definitively exist on a lower plane of conscious that speaks volumes eventually explaining their predictable stimuli to nearly everything else in society and life. Scary shit.
Surprised that Adam didn't know this but most hard wired smoke detectors have a battery backup. The battery can be completely dead and it will continue to beep indefinitely.
