For the techbrodude shills: this is called “allegory”. Maybe you can ask ChatGPT to explain it to you.)
This made me deeply sad that so many people are not literate enough to follow metaphor and allegory.

Most people are not literate enough to reply to an email with more than one question in it.
You have to put each question as a separate item on a numbered list. But no more than three.
Illiterate, or maybe autistic and prone to reading things literally until someone mentions that it’s an allegory at which point it all snaps into place and makes sense.

extremely nitpicky gripe, but making leaves and flowers blue using food colouring was something I actually did, in kindergarten, so the line about "not being able to make the leaves blue" threw me off. it's a hell of a lot easier than making meat blue. plus, plants were traditionally a source of blue dye.
also, House of Leaves, anyone?
