You have a button that will simultaneously honk all vehicle horns in the entire world when held. When do you press it?
- I'd hold it until I was paid $1billion to stop pressing it.

- A better question would be when wouldn't I press it??

- Last 5 minutes of the superbowl
— MeowWhat
- When I first get it.
I would watch as the world slowly realizes every car horn was honked at the same tone. Then enjoy the preceding investigations as to why it happened.
Once they think they have an answer, I'll press it again to disprove their theory and watch them go back to the drawing board

- I'd duct tape it down and bury it somewhere that nobody would ever find it.

- I'd become a bank robber. As police are en route I would hit the button and it would cause chaos, people wouldn't hear the sirens and nobody would know what was going on. I slip out unnoticed.
I would also rig the button to my alarm clock, so when I'm up -- the rest of the world is too.

- When someone else honks at me. Than I'll give him an angry look and he'll think twice before doing that again.

- "HONK-HONK-HONKHONK-HONK..."
...
"HONK--HONK"
Everyday at exactly 1:00PM according to [time.gov](https://www.time.gov/)
I would then post through a tor-connection (or whatever the most secure connection I can find is) on various sites that I will honk it at 1:05. As this gets traction I threaten to press it for 1 minute straight unless the current president comes on national TV and sings the I'm a little tea-pot song. Should he/she fail to do so I will up it to 2 minutes, then 3, and so on until they do. Once I have a precedent said that the President will follow my commands I will continue to make silly demands of public figures to avoid this.
What's my end-game you ask? Nothing at all. Just a most interesting and confusing world. Plus after I'm bored I will teach myself sign-language and deafen myself, build a contraption to hold the button down forever and bury it.

- Never. Filthy pressers. Forever grey.

- With every upvote I get.

- After I took a long hike out into the woods, miles from the nearest car. Then I'd sit by a lake or on a mountaintop, have a nice lunch, and press it 1000 times.
