of course the internet wants the swallow the world and replace it

 

[version]

It's reshaping the world in its image. That's why the buildings are changing. It's a Great Old One, web and graphic designers its cultists.

you see lots of real world signage now which uses flat-design from computers. everything gets designed on the same programs within the same parameters anyway.
