A digital clock which told time in UTC appeared on YWOT on January 21st, 2026, and showed up on OWOT not too long after. Over the next few days, these clocks would run on both sites almost constantly, receiving cosmetic updates every now and then. On YWOT, the clock received backlash for lagging the site, while on OWOT people wanted it removed for taking up over half of the [[Center Console]].<gallery widths="210" heights="210" mode="packed"> | A digital clock which told time in UTC appeared on YWOT on January 21st, 2026, and showed up on OWOT not too long after.

The scrolling text script took up all the remaining SOP space left over by the digital clock (which had been running for four days by that point). Mr. Black removed the script in response to community outrage. | |||
The script returned later that day and was updated to display whatever text was written directly beneath the Center Console. It briefly ran alongside several other animated scripts, such as a falling text script by Banksy, a moving duck by [[Rad]] and a user controlled [[JanTechPL|JTPL]] critter. | |||
