The Real Reason Night Vision Is Green
The scientific explanation? Boring. The real reason night vision is green? Pure 90s gaming nostalgia! Remember squinting at that tiny Game Boy screen while hiding under your blanket after bedtime? Those monochromatic green pixels of Metal Gear Solid on the original Game Boy are forever burned into our retinas. Sure, rod cells in our eyes are more sensitive to green wavelengths (around 555 nanometers), making it the optimal choice for low-light amplification... but let's be honest, military engineers just wanted to feel like they were in a video game while crawling through the jungle. Science is just an excuse for our collective nostalgia!

They Grow Up So Fast
From innocent chatbots to killer tanks in 0.2 seconds flat! This meme perfectly captures our collective tech whiplash as we watch AI evolve from "cute little helper" to "potential extinction event" faster than you can say "neural network." The character's progression from friendly conversation to wide-eyed panic to resigned acceptance is basically humanity's AI relationship timeline compressed into four panels. The contrast between our casual "hey how's it going" approach to powerful tech and the sudden "wait, is that a MURDEROUS TANK?!" realization is painfully hilarious. We're literally watching the birth of Skynet in real-time and responding with memes... which is probably the most human response possible!
