Nördnytt! 🤓A useless infinite scroll experiment
- thomasfl - 5359 sekunder sedanJust 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:
- nayuki - 14535 sekunder sedanWindows 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.)

- hackerbeat - 6994 sekunder sedanNice! Reminds me of https://gagzap.com/
- sebastiennight - 18951 sekunder sedanNice. 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
- leni536 - 11919 sekunder sedanFun. I took out a tape measure to see how accurate it was. It wasn't very accurate. Also the scale on the left scrolls faster than my finger. Fennec(Firefox) on Android.
- PetitPrince - 9668 sekunder sedanYou should add a punchline about training for a thumb war (with a rocky reference ?).
- totetsu - 20134 sekunder sedaniOS health app could track this like steps. Total distance scrolled on your phone.
- dolin_ch - 327825 sekunder sedanSmall experiment about infinite scrolling.
It converts scrolling into a measurable distance.
The more you scroll, the more the site reminds you you're still scrolling.

I disagree. It has gotten me to being entertained.
- adzm - 15107 sekunder sedanWon't this lose precision as you near the limits of a double? Or is it using BigInt behind the scenes?
- orthoxerox - 17870 sekunder sedanFinally, a website that makes me feel like activating a superpower when I unlock the scroll wheel on my mouse.
- fredelt - 14292 sekunder sedanWhat a great time, accompanied by smiles at the punchlines. I love the idea. Thank you for the time wasted.
