the funniest thing about Apple is the last version of MacOS features "video reactions" where if your camera sees you do a thumbs up or heart symbol with your hands, stuff happens behind you like fireworks in ANY video app you are using BY DEFAULT.

A friend was in an online therapy session, describing his trauma so the therapist asked if he was alright and he did a thumbs up and then HUGE FIREWORKS BEHIND HIS HEAD.

It's so bad that online therapy sessions now start with a warning dialog!

@mathowie I had a version of this happen to me on a very serious litigation call with a client. I told them we had to focus on two points, in a very firm lawyerly tone.

Then a fleet of colourful balloons floated up around me to both our consternation.

@Tupp_ed @mathowie This happened to me but I was using Messenger app on an iPad!! Luckily it was a casual conversation but I definitely need to figure out how to turn it off.
