Alt + F4

Alt + F4

Everyone knows what this simple combination does, right? If not, it simply closes everything. It's the fastest way to exit whatever window you're in. Now, what if the combination were present in the real world? With just the simple voicing of, "Alt + F4"- bam! You're gone. Cease to exist. No more trace of where you are, where you've been, where you came from. You're just, gone.

That is, if you're in incognito mode. Don't know what that is? It's basically the private mode. Where no one in the basic world could trace your history- you live in your own shadow. The wording sounds terrifying, but being in your own shadow feels great... At times. In the other moments, your own shadow feels like you're choking yourself. Well, enough of those now- we're supposed to be talking about the simple combination.

Bring it to life, it isn't that simple anymore. It probably doesn't have its own equation in Physics class, or a deep analysis by an English professor, but it sure does not become 'simple' in the real world. Put it out there, do you ever wonder how many of those wanting to spend the rest of their days (weeks, months, years, decades, etc.) under the ground? Before you could even blink, tons of cases reported by the news would appear right in front of you. Still sounds simple?

Live in incognito mode and you'd be forgotten in a snap. You know how long it took Pan to stop existing? Almost two hundred years... at least, that's what Percy Jackson said. All those references aside, the incognito world doesn't sound too appealing. In a snap or in a press, you're finished. Bye-bye to you and your own memories that no one else will remember. Listen- you have to stop living incognito. Throw out a party or go to one, travel around the world, eat what you want to eat. All these, just stop living in secret. Being a hypocrite, the browser this is currently being typed on is incognito. Oh well, we can't all be perfect right?

Moving away from those paragraphs previously written, at times the simple combination works out nicely. Say you want to start over, you could press it then ta-da! You could start all over. But it doesn't really work out that way. What about we just input the other simple combination? Ctrl + H. Yes, it's a whole lot of easier to press- probably not. This other combination could help you start all over- just click 'Clear History'. It sounds quite a bad way, but it works. If you want to delete just a few events, head over and put a tick on those unwanted memories, then click 'Delete'. Life's easy that way.






(Enough of all these, it turned out weirder than expected. Certainly wasn't planned to write down this, however, the idea of Alt + F4 was entertaining. In all hopes that this weird writing was great enough, it will be posted. It wasn't meant to be deep either (if it were even). Anywho, enough. It is about time one could go to bed.)
