    If you’re like me, you never real got into spectator sports. Maybe it was the jock-induced swirlies or maybe it was the pointlessness of ball-based games, but I couldn’t give two shot puts about the Olympics. Thankfully, there’s the Olwinpics Blocker from FFFFF.at.

    This plugin turns all mentions of the Olympics into soothing, bright primary colors. It works on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari and works a treat. For example, the image above is how I see this post: Olympics, olympics. Olympics!

    The project took two hours to build but will save you days of olympic overdose pain. Olympics!
