I thought it would be pretty cool and funny to set this as a power on/off button for a computer but I don't know if normal people are allowed to buy it.
That abbreviation was clearly cherrypicked because people wanted justification to name it after a bird. lol.
Anyway, my best guess is to find a mate in the council ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I lived next to the most dangerous puffin crossing in the UK (Whitley, Coventry). This statistic seemed unbelievable at first because the crossing doesn't look dangerous but over the years I came to believe it. I personally witnessed the aftermath of four accidents and was curious about their origin. The way local people used the crossing was to walk up, press the button and walk across, often without looking at the road. There was a time delay of about a minute and as such the crossing was usually empty by the time the light was red and the cars were waiting for nobody.
Puffin crossings cancel if the pedestrian walks off. You sure it wasn't a pelican crossing?
Was about to comment "I know a guy"
