Color has been disappearing from the world.
A new research group used machine learning to track color changes in common materials and items, below is their findings for all color changes over time, they used 7000+ items from the 1800s to now to determine color changes in the most common items.
Below are the colors of cars by year, notice how the majority of cars are grey, white, or black compared to twenty years ago.
These aren't data points, but they are comparisons between the 'modern' homes of the 70s and 80s compared to the modern homes of today.
Carpets have equally had the same treatment of grey added to them! The most common color of carpet is now grey or beige.
Even locations that used to scream with color for decades have now modernized to becoming boring minimalist (and I love minimalism) personality-less locations.
The world is becoming colorless, why?

playing mahjong solitaire is fun until you get an uneven number of the same tile and you have to guess which one to leave behind all alone and hope to god the pairs you do make don't lead you to the Unwinnable Scenario. like that game with the three cups and the pebble except the cups are tiles and the pebble is Even More tiles and there's like 100 cups and you have to correctly guess where the pebbles are in a row (if you want the no undos bonus), or go back in time every time the timeline branches, or else it's like haha you stupid idiot you should've known better !! now you have to use the loser reshuffle button like the loser you are. or do it all over again, also like the loser you are .

so so sooooo sexy when tv shows end when they're supposed to. so sexy to have a thematically coherent & significant narrative and follow it to its natural conclusion. I'm salivating
