The 1990s felt similarly insane. In 1991 we we had Hovertank 3D, in 1993 we had Doom, in 1998 we had Half-Life, and in 2000 we had Deus Ex. Go back nine years today and things don't feel that different from now. People still buy Skyrim

My (2015) car just has three buttons right next to the clock: H, M, and 00. Pressing/holding H adds hours. Pressing/holding M adds minutes. Pressing 00 rounds to the nearest hour.
