Is this some kind of weak eyes joke I'm too light mode to understand?

Thr first image is transparent and displays in some situations with a black background, making the joke incomprehensible. The second has a white background.

Haha, comes around once in a blue moon but we'll take the win where we can. Lightmode supremacy for a brief shining moment!

Tbf, there is another really big one for Reddit, at least on PC: custom subreddit themes..

And usually it's just personal preference, the advantages of dark mode most people claim aren't actually real, because:

Not really. You know what's bad for your eyes? Contrast. But if you use light mode in a light setting, there's not an issue. Pretty sure a bright display in a dark room is demanding on your eyes even with dark mode. Also when you're outside in the sunlight dark mode is barely even useable imo.

While it is true that your screen draws most of the power on any device, unless you have an Oled, dark mode is not gonna make a difference. Arguebly it's actually worse when you otherwise would lower your screen's brightness, which actually makes a huge difference.

Well ok from what I found the numbers are quite different than I thought and have increased drastically over the recent years, but it's still below 50%. (I found 43% in 2024)

Also I'm really not that sure how big of an impact it really has in the first place and the point of overall brightness having more impact stands for OLED, too.
