Talking of cringe, the author of the README spent more time including their barely disguised fetish pony than explaining what "SPICE" is.

Any you spent more time writing that comment than it would have taken to click the "SPICE" link next to that pony image logo, wait the ~1 second it takes to load, and read the first sentence which would have told you what it is.
Seeing a fetish in random cartoon characters ironically tells all of us way more about you than it says about me ;D

This is a poor retort considering how well known and infamous "MLP" and "bronies" are on the internet.
I know what SPICE is, but for anyone not knowing it, the first SPICE text is also a hyperlink. Clicking it brings the clicker to the homepage instantly.
This is how it should be done: Hyperlinking pages to prevent information duplication and inconsistencies, using libraries to not rewrite every piece of code when it's required.
It passes the sniff test, and a low-color palette of a pony reading a Red Hat checks out pretty nicely.
Maybe we should entertain ourselves sometimes. I don't care about people's choices as long as it's universally unethical or offending or... you get the idea.
Edit: BTW, That pony is the user's general avatar, it seems. Fun.
