Random #Adulting tip: If something glass broke and has strewn a bunch of little hard-to-find shards all over your floor, use a flashlight. Hold it low and as parallel to the ground as possible. Move between lighting straight forward and 90° to your sightline. Glass shards are reflective little buggers that sparkle like hell under moving light and the stark shadows at 90° make them easier to find.

Image showcasing parallel light aimed forward with the same perspective as the first image. Inside the flashlight cone a bunch of bright spots are visible, the sharpest are point reflections from the glass shards. They are much easier to find.
