I have also appreciated this as an exercise in paying attention to small details in art. There's a lot of beauty in tiny details people would typically miss, but which make for a nice card back.

I've been building a simple web solitaire game for fun and one of the things I've spent hours on, perhaps to my joy more than any player's, is browsing through public domain art to crop as inane or beautiful unlockable cardbacks.

There's such a depth of odd and unusual art out there.

Turns out @zed.dev has an irreversible Delete option in the context menu that skips the trash, and they have yet to implement Ctrl+Z.

I just lost about a day of work to this design.

Over the last few years I've noticed Google getting weirdly worse and worse at simple queries, but the most egregious example I noticed recently is this one.

When asked "How many days are between Halloween and Christmas" Google confidently "420 days".
