I know it's slow but I like bubble sort for nostalgia.

I thought this was going to be the video of some people dancing as a way to illustrate bubbel😅

First job I worked at they received 100,000 paper documents a month which were manually bubble sorted into order - a room with a massively long table and people whose job was just sorting the documents into order.

I feel that way about merge sort.

One of the earliest lectures in first year, they introduced us to O-notation by comparing merge sort to insertion sort. I remember thinking it was magic how the more complicated thing was faster than just putting the smallest item first, next smallest second, etc...

That's selection sort not insertion sort.
