The superhero's disgust perfectly captures every programmer's internal screaming when dealing with floating-point precision. 32 whole bits—sign, exponent, mantissa—just to represent what normal humans call "a decimal number." And the best part? After all that complexity, 0.1 + 0.2 still doesn't equal 0.3! It's like building a rocket ship to cross the street and still ending up at the wrong house. IEEE 754 is the standard we collectively agreed on, yet we all silently curse it when debugging why our financial calculations are off by $0.0000000000001. The computer architecture gods demand sacrifice, and that sacrifice is exact decimal representation.
