Well the top one is just a crude left-to-right gradient overlay with no regard for the shape whatsoever. You could slap that shit on any old shape and it would basically be the same, red on the left and violet on the right and that's it.

The bottom one is a nice smooth transition that actually follows the shape. That's why it's so much more pleasant. The hue change occurs continuously as your eye goes along the path.

Oh and the bottom one is a more balanced shape overall. The top one feels too tall. Maybe it's a golden ratio thing, I don't know.

Ha, I knew this reference was coming before I even saw your comment. Guess it's time to rewatch Black Books yet again. It somehow never gets old.

Discordian!

More serious answer: I never had one to begin with. Why start now? All it seems to do is sow division.

Hey alright. I didn't know if you just wanted something available pre-1900 or specifically a horse. If I knew how to get you the hookup on equestrian pizza I'd be happy to tell ya, but I don't.

It's pretty commonly delivered by bicycle in NYC.

You're going to have to define "real magic" here, otherwise this makes no sense IMO

Testing herbs for effects sounds like folk medicine or alchemy at best, but those have been replaced by more rigorous fields like chemistry and pharmacology.

No it's an umbrella, it's even labeled

Hm, I don't care for that. Magic is flashy and fun because it's entertainment. But science doesn't look like they depict in movies and shows.

As a process, science looks more like that nerd with the clipboard taking notes on mushrooms or nuclei whatever for 20 years. Then they edit papers from other mushroom / nuclei nerds and go to a conference to give seminars and debate the others and ultimately publish more papers and eventually some books, and if we're lucky a documentary. They're exploring hidden worlds in a way that is very opposite of the showmanship and illusions we popularly call magic.
