ALT A McDonald's McFlurry cup. Under its transparent lid is a poop emoji whose eyes have been replaced with the glowing red eyes of HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' The cup is spattered with dirt. Behind it is a 'code waterfall' effect as seen in the credit reels of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies.
