@mcc reminded again of my experiences with 16-bit color on Windows 95 back in the mists of prehistory, how when switching modes sometimes it would (apparently?) attempt to display 5-5-5 RGB as 5-6-5 RGB resulting in purplish grays, or that's what i assume was going on

idk if that was a Windows 95 problem or just a problem with my graphics card/driver in retrospect, though

@AlexandraErin as grim a picture as it paints i love the general vibe of "Elon Musk is remembered only as the namesake of a disaster area encompassing what used to be the planets Earth and Mars, with the implication he personally had a hand in its creation"

@AlexandraErin i love everything about this except how horrifyingly plausible it is

Thanks to @unknownoutrider I just learned about Unified Cutlery Theory. Prior to this I'd only really known Spoon Theory

I found this page which describes it pretty well.
