A weird and useless website to waste time. An absurd experiment in endless scrolling where the void slowly wins. How far will you go?
Because on desktop: turbo scroll wheels, magic scripts, gamer mice worth 2000 bucks… and suddenly, 12 km in 3 seconds. On mobile, only bionic fingers can win. It’s the only way to keep a mostly honest ranking in this great championship of nothingness.
Every month, a new podium
Windows autoscroll makes this game too easy. This feature was introduced a very long time ago, possibly with the IntelliMouse in the year 1996. Press on the scroll wheel (considered to be middle-click) and release the button, which overlays a little scroll guide circle. Move the mouse down to begin scrolling, and don't touch anything else. Click any mouse button to stop scrolling. (Another variant is to click and hold the wheel button, move the mouse down to scroll, and release the button to stop.)
You may also be interested in my little modification of middle-scroll behaviour:
"Windows" autoscroll? My Mac has had the same behavior for as long as I can remember. Did they copy it?
How do you do this on macOS? I can't find anything under Settings > Mouse and I can't find a way of fluking it with various random gestures. I don't think I'll ever need it, I'm just curious!
It has never existed natively on Mac OS X.
TIL - after you wrote this, I just tested in Numbers, Brave, and Finder and this behavior did not work.
It seems that it only works in Firefox and I assumed it was an OS-level feature as I've used it so many times (and my most frequent need for such scrolling is the web, so I never noticed it's absent from other software)
Yes, yes, I know, but the site is designed for mobile devices and for the real pleasure of scrolling, not just cheating. Just for fun ;)
Just likte this demonstrates the stupidity of infinite scrolling, here is a site that demonstrates how easy it is to manipulate everybody to click click on things that gives us rewards:
Yes, I knew about this site ;)
Nice. I will now start using it when I feel a compulsive need to escape boredom during unfocused Zoom calls.
A few remarks:
- some sentences (many) seem to be cut off on desktop. I only see, eg. "content to keep the site from going viral" or "around here. We're not that ambitious".
- It's interesting that for users who have their device set to the superior scrolling direction ("reverse" scrolling, drag your fingers up to see what's at the top), your website behaves correctly but gives the opposite feeling. It's the first webpage where I've ever felt like "normal" scrolling (drag your fingers down to pull the page down) would be more natural.
- scrolling for long enough to get the first sound effect was quite a surprise
Looking forward to your next Zoom meeting ;) That's strange about the cut-off sentences. What device are you using? I'll check it out, because I'm not having any problems on my end. Thank you so much for the great feedback, I really appreciate it!
