I keep seeing this sentiment expressed after some nerd drops a link to something bad or unpleasant, where people reply to it with "what a bad day to have eyes" or "what a horrible time to know how to read." I understand having a visceral reaction to distressing content, but taking the time to express that in a cliché internet slogan is very odd to me, almost feels like a psyop to help people cope with being told disturbing things are happening with empty acknowledgment.
