      ✨ Neat CSS trick ✨
      
      We can use `width: fit-content` to have a container element shrink to fit its element's width. This is useful for cards!
      
      But if that card has any text content, that text will blow out the width of the card, since it won't automatically linewrap.
      
      So we wind up with this issue:
      A card containing a cat image and a single long line of text.
