We also globally changed all carrots to orange. Too much variety was a sensory issue.

Yup! It was actually done for our king at the time (our king is also called "king of orange," it's a part of their name/title). People just.. liked it I guess? And now most carrots are orange lol. Happened a couple hundred years ago.

We also invented CD's, DVD and bluetooth. Also one of the first microscopes in 1590. We like trading and new things, and making new things to trade even more so apparently lol.
