I have different colours of light under my keyboard and can change them at will. I always keep it on the lilacy colour though, since it's the least offensively bright.

I know it's nothing new, but I only just stumbled on the existence of the Berenstein/Berenstain Bears spelling controversy.
It kinda tickles me that there are so many people who would sooner look for some kind of conspiracy than just accept that their childhood memory is mistaken.

Be thankful they're red instead of blue.

For what? Night vision? The bright computer screen ruins that unless you have a special filter or something.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

At least I can actually change the brightness. I leave it on the lowest level because that's all I really need, or want.

it turns out that it's a rainbow once the computer boots, so i suppose the color of the keyboard is configurable

i just turned them off though

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

You have a RGB keyboard... and leave it off?
I'll take that off your hands for the price of an office keyboard from PCWorld or Tesco or something.

Oh. Oh. Conspiracy? You poor, innocent babe.

It's way more batshit than that.

I can't tell if they think that reality is genuinely changing around them or if they're just observing an interesting feature of human memory.

Always with the dichotomies... why can it not be both?

Well the same person can't do both, and Reddit encourages echochambers to the point where I doubt regulars of the same subreddit would have a differing view on the core topic they're there for.

WTF: I had an out-of-body experience this morning. I woke up and my left arm was numb (Because I slept on it. Urgh) I could feel the springs under the mattress using my left hand, which felt like it was moving (phantom limb syndrome but with numb instead of missing limb) through the mattress. It was terrifying.

All the people who came for the latter were driven out by the former. I almost subscribed before I realized the entire subscriber base was, uh, that. It's actually one of the best cases of Reddit's echochamber stuff happening, since the subreddit definitely started as the former.
