You’re reading this, so you either own a phone/laptop/whatever or you’re borrowing one. You’re somewhere with an internet connection. This device was probably charged recently, so you’re also somewhere with a functional power grid.

You got here by clicking on a link, so you can move your fingers. You aren’t paralyzed, at least not completely. If you have any debilitating sicknesses or injuries. they aren’t intense enough to stop you from navigating the web.

You’re reading this, so your eyes are reasonably healthy. You aren’t blind. And you’re not illiterate, either: you can read English. You can probably write it and speak it too. That means you can talk to more than 1.3 billion people across the world.

You’ve been reading this for a while, so you’re probably not in any immediate danger.

And you want a dark mode?

You might not have everything, but you’re luckier than so many millions of people. Your life is much less “dark” than theirs. Why would you possibly want a dark mode?

Are you trying to be moody? You want to conserve your battery? You want to match the ambient lighting? You think the dark is cool? Not on this website it isn’t.

If you love the dark so much, turn off your device. Stare at the dark screen, at your reflection. Look at your empty eyes. Look at your aging skin, that dull membrane that covers your weakening muscles and dying organs. Look at the futility of your every action and the inevitability of your demise. That’s Dark Mode

Ger out.
