What's a Wegmans and why are we losing our shit on Twitter?
The best fucking grocery store chain in the Western Hemisphere.
Truth. Where else can you storm into a supermarket before closing and buy a roast of Wild Boar? Yes, I did that.
Pfff, if your Wegman's isn't 24 hours then it's bullshit.
Do these quotation boxes eventually turn completely black?
SCIENCE
The truth is in here
It's like a portal.
I'm not opposed to this experiment.
I reckon it'll get too narrow before it gets too dark.
That just means you have a tiny monitor.
I thought we got rid of the pyramids?

These boxes are making me cry
The power of love is a curious thing. Make a one man weep, make another man sing.
I ask myself, what would Kenshiro do?
Well, since we're doing science, I'm going to make a hypothesis or two.
1) At a quoting level at or above 29, but not before, the quote boxes will be darker than the text within them.
2) Assuming there is enough space to fit any, any text in a quote 28 levels deep will be almost completely invisible; you probably won't see it unless you have a good monitor.
3) The colour will only reach actual, for realz black (rgb value of 0,0,0) if we reach the 61st level of blockquoting; it won't happen any earlier than that.
NOTE: I didn't cheat by just doing this myself offline; I just used math. Or, should I say, MATH.
Looks like you were kinda right, TotallyGuy. That being said, the boxes becoming "too narrow" turns out not to have been a correct description, given that the issue is that they simply stop actually being on top of one another (thus failing to get darker in the expected manner).
All three of my hypotheses are effectively disproven, although technically you didn't test #3 since you didn't go 61 levels deep.
However, Rym seems to be also wrong in that it has nothing to do with the monitor---the CSS stylesheet sets a maximum width of 1240 pixels for everything, so unless you override that you can't actually get blockquotes to go deep enough.
You can, of course, easily change this locally in your browser, but that would violate the experimental conditions.
James May's Unemployment Tube is pretty great if you've watched a lot of Top Gear and know the interactions between the guests. I thoroughly enjoyed watching him make poached eggs.

Mind blown...
Jibbers, that was amazing.
