I made a website. it's called "one million checkboxes dot com". it has one million checkboxes on it.

checking a box checks it for everyone.

that's it. have fun!

@eieio this has hdd defrag vibes

@kwramm Don't give him ideas, he'll do it. Have you seen this dude breaktime game?

@green @eieio whatever you need them to*

* so long as what you need is for everyone else to see that you checked the boxes

@ChaosKitsune my server is on fire i'm working on it lol

@eieio @ChaosKitsune I'm seeing a lot of toggle events in the console but no checkboxes as of yet, lol

EDIT: I lied!

@ChaosKitsune @eieio
I am at least, seems others are mostly just undoing it, which is more or less what I expected. Nature is healing!

@eieio you should edit the post to include it!

@eieio big 90s vibe! (That’s a compliment!)

@phaedral Guess I'm not the only one that thought about bubble wrap!

@eieio

@eieio the checkers are coming. There is no escape.

@eieio I was writing a script to check them all, reloaded to make sure I had up to date state, and now I get socket errors. Presumably you have lots of connections...or a very sophisticated anti-cheating filter. :)

@tonydewan @eieio probably The latter given the site got a Fedi hug of death 😅

@wiredfire Should have made it federated. :s

(oh god, imagine the amount of traffic that would generate)

@tonydewan @eieio

I was wondering when the first automation was announced :D

@tonydewan @eieio

@eieio for some reason it's not loading for me, I'm getting secure connection failed errors, or a blank page. I assume that it might be because it's under heavy load right now?

@eieio I did not expect to see bubble wrap the mmo, or that it'd include pvp :sickos: :sickos2:

@eieio this is like whack-a-mole x 1,000,000

Is there a pattern or is it me?

@eieio

@eieio please... Don't start another internet war...

@eieio How likely this is going to turn into pixel art ?

@moira @Sobex @eieio I tried "help me I'm trapped in a checkbox factory", but people kept unchecking it. Best I could do was this

@Andres4NY @Sobex @eieio it's fun to take things that are accidentally almost words and make the into words

@Andres4NY @Sobex @eieio this one was like... not this and I don't think anyone was trying for this but it was so close I could get it built before people broke it

@eieio I just checked 22 (2 2 2 2 in different colours) boxes. Yes, fun!

@eieio Why are some of the boxes outlined in a color?

@rochelle @eieio I think it just makes for a game: Find the colored checkbox. It keeps track of how many boxes you've (un)checked by color, so you can see how many greens you have checked, I guess...

@benjamin_segfaulted_again @rochelle

Hi, sorry to be late to this, this....blew up more than i expected.

I colored some boxes randomly because I thought it'd be interesting to see whether people checked them more. It's totally arbitrary. People do seem to check them more. So Benjamin is right :)

@eieio @rochelle I look forward to seeing some statistics about behaviors on your site in the future!

@eieio of course someone's already drawn a dick on here

@eieio is the status of checkboxes persisted on the blockchain? That would be a great use of the technology!

@eieio You can all stop now. I did the important part.

@eieio

You have checked 2000 (12 20 24 19) boxes
Yes, i am kinda bored....

@eieio oh, so you've created the average vendor cookie opt out form
