Default Do switch mode power supplies flicker in time with mains?

They probably are fairly crude.* I know they flicker, for example if I
use my cordless drill, the chuck appears to spin the wrong way under the
LED lighting.

I remember seeing that with a washing machine (under fluorescent
lights). As the tub was slowing down, the row of holes around the tub
would appear to reverse direction. Same thing with (spoked) wagon wheels
in movies.
