      <title>Sometimes things don't work out how you think they should...</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The world is full of edge cases. I get it, the world is not ordered and well-defined as we want it to be.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That said, sometimes these edge cases show a slightly ironic side to the world, like the above message I got while in dark mode already.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone else seen anything you found funny in this way?&lt;/p&gt;
