"Steam gauges" on car/plane instrument panels. Yeah, digital displays are cheaper to manufacture and less prone to failure, but they kinda suck the fun out of it.

I used what known as 2's compliment. Take the complement (flip all the bits - here that would give you 01110 which is 14) then add 1.

Have you ever noticed those low effort reposts also getting the same top 10 comments as the original? It's slop all the way down.

If nothing else, it would be hard to do worse than the ‘90s version.

I'm gonna have to rewatch the 1999 movie now because I remember liking it a lot back then.
