In the 1999 movie Fight Club, a character makes subtle appearances whenever "The Narrator" in the movie talks about his insomnia. During an office scene at roughly 04:07 as the narrator describes everything as being a "copy of a copy", one of the main characters in the movie, "Tyler", appears in a single frame for the first time. To capture his appearance(s), you have to slow down your playback video speed as the narrator is talking then pause it at the right moment. In doing this, the voice audio of the narrator slows to an intoxicated, drugged, almost jaded state of being and as such, the narrator's subconscious in which Tyler lives. Not sure if this was the intention of the director, David Fincher. If it was then that's some insane detail, way ahead of his time.

The Sanctuary of Truth (Thai: ปราสาทสัจธรรม) is an unfinished museum in Pattaya, Thailand. Designed by Thai businessman Lek Viriyaphan, the structure is a fusion of a temple and a castle, drawing inspiration from the Ayutthaya Kingdom as well as Buddhist and Hindu beliefs. It’s entirely constructed from wood species such as Mai Deang, Mai Takien, Mai Panchaat, and Teak. Throughout the interior of the museum is an array of intricate, hand carved architecture to include sculptures. Construction began in 1981 and it's still a work in progress. Visitors are allowed inside, provided they wear hard hats. The temple sits on 13 hectares of land and boasts an internal space of 2,115 m², with the tallest spire reaching 105 meters.

The Zenith Space Command remote control.
An unpowered device for controlling televisions. The buttons activate spring-loaded hammers which strike aluminum rods to produce ultrasonic tones. The TV is always listening and will respond to specific tones with the appropriate action.
A friend of mine had one of these in the 80s. It seemed archaic back then. We all thought our battery-powered IR remotes were so much more advanced. Dumb kids. I wish more things were made with simple and effectively engineered solutions rather than just falling back on whatever "modern technology" enables.
