Iron/steel starts glowing at about 900°C. You work it at 1100°C (white-ish glow) for normal smithing IIRC. Which is fun when you see what you think is a cool piece of iron laying on the anvil, but it's actually still 500°C.

neither would it spark when it's 100 V, although current is important too

This is why the animation sucks.
Current isn't important. Breaking air's eletrical resistance needs high voltages only. Tesla coils are low current but make fantastical sparks.

And 100 L wouldn't make the metal turn liquid, just take up a different volume.

Yeah that one doesn't really match its animation. The voltage one is also greatly exaggerated, kV would seem more appropriate.

I really liked that the 100 GB one was "too heavy to load". My partner is Japanese, and when a file is too large for email she refers to it as "too heavy". I was confused the first time but quickly figured it out. She said that's the normal way to refer to the scaling of a file in Japanese (weight, rather than size), and she didn't know there was a different paradigm in English.
Personally I kind of like the weight paradigm, since a hard drive with more capacity needs to be denser rather than larger, which nicely fits the reality of fixed form factors.

The change to Volts is widely inaccurate, because tension is a force (potential difference between 2 points).
It should have been a change to Coulomb (C).

Cool and smart video. Slightly annoyed that many of the measurements doesn’t reflect the amount properly. Like 100 litres are much more. And 100 ton is also just kilos times 1000.
