My Retinas Are Literally Burning

The retina-searing horror! For the uninitiated, candela per square meter (cd/m²) measures screen brightness, and 1000+ cd/m² is basically like staring directly into a miniature sun. Your corneas practically sizzle while your friend casually browses the web, oblivious to the fact they're generating enough luminance to signal passing aircraft. The true mark of a psychopath isn't serial killing—it's running maximum brightness without dark mode in 2023. Your poor photoreceptors never stood a chance.

My Priorities Are Straight

Reading physics equations by the glow of laboratory equipment instead of, you know, turning on an actual light. The green indicator light providing just enough illumination to make out Legendre polynomials and potential functions while everything else in the lab screams "warning" with those orange buttons. Nothing says dedication like potentially ruining your eyesight just to finish one more problem set at 3 AM. Future physicists take note: spherical harmonics look extra mysterious when illuminated by equipment that's probably worth more than your tuition.
