It all started when a group of frustrated internet users realized that their virtual desktops were becoming more chaotic than a toddler's playroom. They saw icons scattered around like confetti, folders hidden beneath a pile of screenshots, and wallpapers so cluttered they could pass as abstract art.

In a stroke of genius, these tech-savvy pioneers decided to establish a national day dedicated to cleaning up our virtual messes. And thus, National Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day was born!
