Steering wheel with exclamation mark - Power steering problem
Green Key - unsure, maybe something about the key fob battery?

Car with wavy lines - unsure, maybe traction control failure?
Red car with doors open - Doors not closed/latched
Red car with trunk up - trunk or hatch not closed/latched
H with what looks like a little boat - that’s a temperature gauge, engine over heating warning

BRAKE - either indicates break issues or that your emergency/parking break is engaged
Oil can - low on oil
Blurry circle thing with text inside - that’s ABS warning, break related
The square red light at the bottom - battery warning, probably low battery
Engine - the money light. When that comes on you’re about to pay money to a mechanic. When it flashes, you’re about to pay a fuckload of money to a mechanic
But yeah, as someone else said this typically happens when you turn your car on for diagnostic purposes.
The blue c with a boat thing indicates cold fluids, like your oil will be thicker in winter until it warms up.
I don’t know any of the other ones you weren’t sure about, though I think the wavy lines one is just telling you that traction control is being used due to the conditions. I occasionally see that light come on when it’s slick.
Your explanation is cool, but what do the lights mean, funny man?
Okay! I’ll give it a shot. From the top down

Winter brings out all the fun dash lights!
Oh, I don’t know, I gave up basic life skills in exchange for historical trivia.
Older cars test all the dash indicators when you start them by turning them all on so you can check for burnt out bulbs.
Not just older cars. Every car does this when you turn the ignition on.
