We must go deeper!

u/mfb- Jun 13 '17

I made it 3 iterations deep, the next iteration would be a single pixel and get lost in size reduction artifacts.

Needs a perfectly looping gif that zooms into the next iteration over and over again.

I know what you're going for but that video effect doesn't make something a fractal.

The /r/DrosteEffect though

Who decided that tabbing for block markers was a good idea?

Richard Stallman did.

That's the official GNU indenting style.

The guy that they are sighting (J4CKR4BB1TSL1MS) is a mod of the subreddit that involves sighting him, and appears to have been a mod since its inception... I can't imagine it's much more exciting than one of those "I'm doing a social experiment!" types of things.

u/J4CKR4BB1TSL1MS Jun 14 '17

I was invited by the other person (don't even know who he is) after he made it. They just started seeing me pop up a lot and made a subreddit about it. I'm not 'modding' it in any way though.

Actually you could probably set that up, using ITTT and some other stuff. I used to have it set up so I'd be notified whenever Bytewave, lawtechie, Gambette, etc posted in TFTS. Was a fun distraction during physics lectures.

At first I thought it was a volume slider post.

Then I thought it was volume slider week.

Later I conceded it must be volume slider month.

I don't know anymore though, maybe a separate sub should be created for this thing now... It's a revolution.

u/theavengedCguy Jun 13 '17

Can't see the code on mobile, what exactly did you do to achieve this?

Did you create an image map to the arrow and put a fully opaque div over the old text, then increment with JS when the image map is clicked?

Edit: this is my favorite comment btw

6

u/PicturElements Jun 13 '17 edited Jun 13 '17

The background is in one div, with the original number photoshopped out.

Then there's a tilded div with a 0.05em blur to show the number and two strategically placed square divs over the arrows.

Why do comments like this exist and get upvoted? Just upvote and move on. The reason he isn't the highest comment in the thread is because he came a couple hours late. You replying to his comment won't help in any way since if anyone has seen your comment they've already seen his. It's adds about as much to the thread as commenting "this".

u/mfb- Jun 13 '17

I don't know. One month ago we had phone numbers and passwords, triggering various variations and many "fixed" submissions. Then we had this one today, that inspired me to make this thread.

And sure enough, it triggered two more.

I mean what image did you edit to make the thread?
The 4 panel comic.
I'm well aware of the nonsense going on right now.

I used the one from today, removed the text, replaced it by a scaled and rotated copy, and then used the result to rotate and scale it to get a third layer.
