 It's so weird that teeth and eyes aren't properly covered by the NHS, as if they're luxury body parts 
 How sensible / feasible would it be to have a different CSS theme for each year on my blog?

So p... 
 @2fd7551e Maybe just write a data attribute into the page & change the colours/fonts/spacing, so you can keep some of the spirit of past designs without a big maintenance burden 
 💡A challenge for you all:
What's the most expressive form of online communication that wouldn't need any moderation to avoid publishing filth, copyright infringement, abuse, etc?

I'm curious about whether I've overlooked something clever 
 Examples that come to mind:
- VERY low-res pixel art
- Could text get away with a very limited alphabet so that swearing has to become comically abstract?
- Sound effects you can play/sequence, too crude to properly mimic popular tunes
- Arrange predefined images (perhaps with some restrictions) 
 I will never send a better message than this one in reply to my wife asking when I'd be home
