The last thing I made exclusively for myself and nobody else was a shopping list calculator that added tax to the shopping list as a kid on my TI-83 graphing calculator. Programmed in Basic, and I would use it to add up the items going I to the shopping cart while my parents shopped at Sams club as a kid.

And I'd tell them what the final total would be when we were standing in the checkout line.

Very small and basic, but I thought it was the coolest thing in the world as an 11 year old back in 1996.


JONNY's quick thinking leads them to snatch the credit card from the charging rhinoceros, preventing any fraudulent charges. Their nimble hands swiftly cut the credit card into tiny pieces, rendering it completely useless. Startled by the sudden actions, the confused rhino halts its charge, allowing JONNY to safely escape.

Weirdly enough, this is the Only scenario where I have not died out of appx 15 attempts.
