How do people without dogs keep their floors clean?

Today I released a video about toys, games, and even a movie(!) that work in the terminal (AKA the command line). What are your favorite terminal toys?

Mmmmm impeachment pie.
Most products don’t fail.
They leak. Slowly. Expensively.
Bad UX. Confusing flows. Friction everywhere.
