Stupid crap I think about while driving in the rain:

• Do windshield wipers have standard speeds, or is that not a thing that’s regulated?
• Are certain windshield wiper patterns more common than others? By “pattern” I mean the way the wipers go across the glass—like do they both go from right to left and back, or do they open from the middle, that type of thing.

Stupid crap I look up when I get home:

• Okay, it doesn’t look like there are any U.S.-wide standards on what speeds are necessary.
• But windshield wiper geometry is most definitely a thing.

For some reason, that makes me very happy.
