The concept of file extensions really break down when it comes to audio and video files

Honestly anywhere other than windows they start getting a bit funky since most ecosystems don't actually rely on the filename to determine the file type

It also doesn't help that so many file types are just a bunch of text files shoved into a zip file wearing a mask. It's all abstractions all the way down baby!
