This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I was actually kind of surprised how quickly I could scroll through it.

And also how fast and easily my browser can load and display the page. I mean, I know it should not be difficult for a modern computer, but somehow in my gut it still feels like it should be difficult.

Okey, so I got curious how they rendered all those people so fast. Turns out they use background-image: url("url-goes-here") and set the width and height to (I assume) make it at the correct amount.
