Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 26, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

What is depicted in the banner image?

Dunno, but it looks like a ferrofluid reacting to an audio speaker. I think it is a default image that came with the codebase?

Several of us on the mod team have played around with AI image generation and probably that image will eventually be replaced with a motte of some kind, possibly many different mottes in rotation. But as a purely cosmetic enhancement it's not really a top priority for our limited coding resources right now.

They're supposed to be little mottes created by human speech? Your cleverness was utterly lost on me.

Thanks for the detailed response.
