parseInt is meant for strings so it converts the number there into a string. Once the numbers get small enough it starts representing it with scientific notation. So 0.0000001
converts into "1e-7"
where it then starts to ignore the e-7
part because that’s not a valid int, so it is left with 1

Yep feeding dead cows to cows is the main way that mad cow disease shows up (there is also sometimes atypical mad cow disease where it shows up randomly too)
