Couldn't get enough of this 99 glitch
12 Jan 2026
A video of a Oral B toothbrush app. The shows an animation for achieving 100 hours of brushing. The number 100 is displayed with sparkly stars surrounding it. Every so often the 100 glitches and very briefly displays the number 99.
Very much appreciated this glitchy award from my toothbrush. 🪥
