Society If Github Had A Setting To Hide Whitespace Changes On All PRs

The utopian future we deserve! Every developer who's spent hours reviewing PRs only to find they're 90% whitespace changes knows this pain. You're trying to find actual code changes but instead get bombarded with indentation fixes, trailing spaces, and line ending normalizations. The meme suggests we'd literally have flying cars and futuristic architecture if GitHub just added a simple toggle to filter out whitespace noise from pull requests. Spoiler alert: GitHub does have this feature (append ?w=1 to diff URLs), but it's buried like a secret cheat code instead of being a prominent button. The real tragedy is how many developer-hours we've collectively wasted squinting at meaningless whitespace diffs when we could've been building this sci-fi paradise instead.
