The apology block. Almost every page on the 90s web had one somewhere.

In 2026: Works. Grab an animated construction GIF from the xbawx button gallery: /btn/?collection=under-construction has about 1,800 of them.

Where it came from: Universal. The animated construction worker is usually traced to a mid-90s clipart set of unclear origin. Wikipedia ↗
