*Mom shows me laptop ad of 3000 bucks with the most overkill specs ever*

Mom: "Son, will this laptop run Google?"

Me: "Do you want to surf Google or actually run Google's server?"

Mom: *looks confused*

"I also want to use Fesabook on it"

Me: *brings her a 5 year old laptop with a new ssd in it*

*has an old i3, 8gb ram and no gpu*

Mom: "This laptop is super fast! Thanks son!"

*One hour later*

*Mom calls*

"Son, I think the laptop broke"

Me: "What? What happened?"

Mom: "I pressed a button and now all the keys are lighting red" (backlit keyboard)

Me: "You can choose the color of your keyboard mom"

Mom: "Ooh! How do I make it pink?"

Me: "You can only choose between red and blue..."

Mom: "What a ripoff"

*Hangs up the phone*

    @Alice I didn't know you are a single mother. Now I have to give our marzipan a serious thought. 🤔

    I have the feeling that every time a colour is mentioned in a rant, @Alice is waiting ^^

    @Kinky-Code I think there is a special pink filter

    Honestly, what we you thinking of, doing a cruel thing like that to your own mother? Only two colours to choose from? You should be ashamed

    To be fair, if they're gonna but red and blue LEDs how much more would it have cost them to make it so you can choose the color?

    Is your mum @Alice?

    Lol if it supports blue and red it already supports pink, they apparently just failed to enable it in software.

    @f0cus10 No. But I guess when I need a new mom I know who I should call

    @sylar182 @devios1 It was a really old, and especially, really cheap laptop. The thing had just two buttons to change color. Not even software. At that price back then I already found it impressive that it had any backlit at all lol

    @8BitOverdose I was picturing one of those fancy Razer keyboards. But seriously, if you go through the effort of putting blue LEDs *and* red LEDs under the keyboard, why not allow some combination of them?

    Anyway not the point of your post I know but I actually found that part the funniest: it supports blue or red! How bout blue *and* red? 😐😐😐

    @devios1 I completely agree! 5 years ago that was one thing that held me up all night.
    In the beginning I only thought it had blue but surprisingly it also had red. I thought I could choose mutiple colors but nope, nothing. I always wondered why.
    The only reason I came with that night was that they had too much red LEDs and wanted to get rid of them xd
    But yes, guess we'll never know

    @devios1 blue and red make purple. Not pink.

    While definitely an improvement, it is not pink, and therefore could be improved further.

    @Root Blue and red light make magenta, which is pretty close to pink (don’t forget the diff btw additive/subtractive colors).

    If you want to go any lighter though you’ll need green.

    From amazement to angry dissapointment in one sentznce. For some its never enough.

    @Alice i really don't know why but my brain autocorrected pink to marzipan for a good 2 minutes. Now i'm sitting here horribly confused. Guess it was a long day 😅

    Also happened when op's mom had dinner at op's first home.

    Op: You can choose what we eat.
    Mom: Ooh! I'd love some chicken.
    Op: You can only choose between tomato and water...
    Mom: What a ripoff.

    You almost got me thinking there is a new social network - fesabook. I was excited for a second thinking finally there might be something less cluttered than facebook 😂
