What? You don't like browsing the web, where everyone is shoving politics down your throat, and making violent hostile threats, and everybodys offended over baby names, and the web is like 3 websites big???

You don't LOVE that?

Just today was looking for a seamless tile of grass for desktop background (decided to just use solid color, because eyes get tired looking at separate grass blades, though), spent like 15 minutes. On that.
