I've heard, not sure how true: that TCAS systems, until recently, could have an overflow and wrap around if you were in the unlikely scenario of climbing above FL600, and throw "TERRAIN! PULL! UP!" as you pass 65535ft.

You'd be more likely to stall before then, but it's still "fun" to think about.

Literally EVERY parent should ban Roblox
Every parent whose career has to do with online safety also bans Roblox.
Every game designer parent I know bans Roblox for their kids
