It's a bad joke. It made me close the browser tab.

To each their own.

If you can't handle refreshing or merely clicking it again, that's you having a problem, not the site having a problem.

No, it's the site's problem. The contrast between the blinding radioactive yellow background and the font is eye straining and doesn't meet the WCAG standards for accessible text. And the dark mode is unusable. The joke would be funnier if there was a real dark mode.

You said the joke made you leave. The normal color scheme is not part of the joke, and I'm sorry it hurts your eyes. I won't try to defend the eye hurting.
> doesn't meet the WCAG standards for accessible text.
Oh, which part of the standards? When I punch #000000 on #FDDB29 into contrast checkers I get good results.
The single quote isn't as good but all the rest has those colors.

I'm using the Firefox Accessibility Tools. But you're right, I mistook the accessibility warning for the quote/header text for the body text. #000 > #FDDB29 does pass unfortunately.

Boo! I enjoyed it a ton. More fun than another bland sleek web page.
