About

Dark Mode refers to series of memes in which the punchline can only be viewed when the colors on the viewer's display are inverted, a feature typically referred to in technology as "dark mode" or "night mode."

Origin

Dark Mode, as a piece of popular technology rose to prominence in the mid-2010s, as websites, applications and operating systems, such as Apple's 2018 release Mojave, began allowing users to manually toggle between light and dark modes.

It is likely that the meme started in the chat application Discord, which was an early adopter of Dark Mode, announcing the feature on August 6th, 2015.[6] One of these examples was posted by Redditor[6] LennyMcLennington on the /r/discordapp subreddit on June 22nd, 2018. Within four months, the post received more than 990 points (95% upvoted) and 75 comments (shown below).


Are you kidding me? Light theme on Discord? Really? You realise that your eyes are dying the more you use that? Please stop that. Use Dark theme. It's for your own good

Day-Night Toggle Button

Day-Night Toggle Button is an exploitable comparison meme in which people post images of what they do and how they act during the day and what they do and how they act at night. The format of the meme uses two-panels, similar to Drakeposting and the digital day and night toggle buttons found on smart phones and other electronic devices designed to designate "night mode" from "day mode."
