justify-content: space-evenly safe; appears to work here with flex because the value is not actually working:<br>
<br>
<div class="
  justify-evenly-safe
  flex flex-row gap-6
  overflow-x-auto
">

  <img src="https://picsum.photos/150/450?7" alt="tall placeholder image">
</div>
<br>
<span>Same code, fewer columns, you can see it's not spacing evenly</span><br>
<br>
<div class="
  justify-evenly-safe
  flex flex-row gap-6
  overflow-x-auto
">

</div>
<br>
In the future, that ^ should work.<br>
<br>
<br>
BUUUT to demonstrate the hack one more time, with flex now:<br>
<br>
<div class="
  justify-evenly-until-scroll
  flex flex-row gap-6
  overflow-x-auto
">

  <img src="https://picsum.photos/150/450?6" alt="tall placeholder image">
  <img src="https://picsum.photos/150/450?7" alt="tall placeholder image">
</div>
<br>
<span>Same code, fewer columns, and we have what we wanted:</span><br>
<br>
<div class="
  justify-evenly-until-scroll
  flex flex-row gap-6
  overflow-x-auto
">
  <img src="https://picsum.photos/150/450?1" alt="tall placeholder image">
  <img src="https://picsum.photos/150/450?2" alt="tall placeholder image">
  <img src="https://picsum.photos/150/450?3" alt="tall placeholder image">
</div>

  When `justify-content: space-evenly;` overflows, the items overflow from a `justify-content: centered;` position and you cannot scroll to reveal the overflow on the left.<br>
