Ah yes, the riveting tale of a web developer yearning for good ol' plain text during a #hurricane, because 🌪️obviously that's the real tragedy here. Forget about food and safety, what we really need is HTML #nostalgia while we're drowning in pixels and rain. 📱💔

👾🤖 Oh, the tragedy! Large language models can't daydream like us mere mortals—alas, they remain as stiff as your Uncle Bob at a yoga class.
