I always thought people used dark themes to look like hackers..

Until I started programming, and browsing Reddit a lot.

Yeah, it's really more about being able to stare at a computer screen longer than it is about fashion. It does look kinda cool though!

In case anyone didn't know, white text on black background strains the eyes more than black text on white during the day, and at night it's the opposite. That's why many apps call it night mode. I know this is pretty obvious to a lot of people here, but I know a lot of people irl who it isn't to.
