The cosmic revelation that Microsoft Office, Apple iWork, and Java are all secretly compressed archives in disguise. That moment when you realize your fancy productivity software is just wearing a fancy trench coat over what's essentially a folder of files.

Fun fact: Most modern document formats (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx) are actually ZIP archives with XML files inside. Rename them with a .zip extension and extract them to see the horrifying truth. Your 10MB PowerPoint presentation is just a collection of XML files, images, and metadata wearing a digital suit.

The astronaut with the gun is all of us after spending years creating "documents" only to discover we've just been making fancy ZIP files this whole time. The betrayal!
