I feel like the Minesweeper face isn't a sun, instead being a generic face. This is probably a reference to stereotypical depictions of a smiling sun.[[User:SlimothyJ|SlimothyJ]] ([[User talk:SlimothyJ|talk]]) 16:29, 4 March 2026 (UTC) | I feel like the Minesweeper face isn't a sun, instead being a generic face.

I feel like, the sunglasses in the title text are a reference to the game Minesweeper, in which the iconic sun puts on sunglasses after the minefield has been completely cleared. To start a new game, you click on the sun, the minefield gets reset, the sun takes its sunglasses off and you are facing refreshed "danger". 2A02:3100:B0BF:FE00:383B:CEDD:D49C:6689 16:21, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
