JavaScript's parseInt() function is like that one coworker who ignores all your emails until you add exactly seven zeroes after the decimal point. The function stubbornly returns 0 for every decimal value, until suddenly—at 0.0000005—it decides "Oh, I see a 5 now!" and returns 5. It's like watching someone squint harder and harder at tiny text until they finally give up and just read whatever letter they think they see. The floating point precision gods have spoken, and they've chosen chaos.
