Haha!. Yes, we did it a time or two after power outages or having to unplug it. But, it got old fast, and who the hell really needed it (yes, I know you could time when to record something, but I never actually did that).
So, commonly, after a few times, the made out of frustration solution was a piece of black electrical tape over that blinking, impossible not to see nor ignore, menace.

Hey, I can outdo that.
My grandmother had a viewer and a pile of these images. I spent so much time getting through the days at my grandparents' house looking at these things (after my parents had dropped off me and my brother for a few weeks in the summer to get away from us).

So pissed you have to find these at garage sales now. Fun game. I just stood back when I was maybe 8 and kept my eyes open. Darwin award I suppose? You play with god damn metal darts. I suppose the parents were usually drinking and some kids are morons.

A few of these always had a super-fast burning fuse and you'd have numb fingers for a few minutes.

A yearly ritual for most kids at my high school and their dads was to change these along with the rotor and a new distributor cap that came with the tune up kit. Even places like KMart sold the tune up kits. Anyone still have an old timing light?

The friendly Bell South telephone man working on the side of the road in your neighborhood in that grey Dodge Tradesman van.
He would always give any kid that walked up to him and asked for a bunch of multi colored telephone wires. Which we would take home and twist and braid into necklaces and rings.

The worst possible way to consume coffee.
Found at Howard Johnson's and the first coffee dispenser machines.

I had a jeep that had a dead battery every morning I was too broke to replace. So I always parked on hills for a while.
It was kind of fun

Being broke used to be the best motivation for learning skills, since it was 10% of the price to do repairs yourself.
Welfare and EBT destroyed that.
That's why "they" are trying to kill the "useless eaters," but who created these in the first place?
Perhaps it was by design - rob the common folk of their ancestral wisdom, turn them into EBT dependents, then kil them off.

Like the song "A country boy will survive. . . "
