JavaScript's parseInt function just decided that 0.0000005 equals 5 because scientific notation turned it into "5e-7" and parseInt grabbed just the "5" like a toddler picking only the M&Ms out of trail mix. Six decimal places? Nah, too much work. Five? Still zero. Seven? BOOM, suddenly 5. It's like JavaScript was programmed by someone rolling dice to determine behavior. No wonder developers drink.
