Stop doing X

To express how I disapprove of excess colour, I made the following joke on 2025-115.

"STOP DOING COLOUR"

It comes from a meme format first made in 2020. I like that format, so I likewise criticised quantum computing, but I found it tedious to retype the template-text. Then I realised that LATEX would make this easier, as I could then easily copy and edit a text file.

Then I made 20 such exhortations — "STOP DOING X" for 20 values of X — and collected them into one PDF. Most images are from Wikimedia Commons. The memes are sorted by when I made them. Some of them reflect my real opinions, but mostly they're jokes. "STOP DOING JUDAISM" only targets the religion, not the people, so don't go call me anti-Semitic from that. Likewise does "STOP DOING KANJI" only target the writing system.
