#34Goat: 45cm Duck: 50cm Might as well say “shuffled emojis with random data attached”
Arm: 30cm. I think my arm is bigger than that. And fire: 40cm. This seems somewhat arbitrary lol

#37Ok on my emoji set the Gorilla (Silverback) is just it's head. So it seems to imply a Gorilla has a head the size of a Llama.

#39Neat concept. As someone not very up-to-date in Web UI techniques, I was curious as to how the array was being advanced on scroll. Unfortunately, it looks like the answer is basically polling. The code constantly calls window.requestAnimationFrame(), checking window.pageYOffset. This means that the page is constantly doing work, even at idle. Surely the more correct way is to install an onscroll handler or something,…
The correct way would be a mix of those two strategies: an onscroll handler that schedules an update through requestAnimationFrame (ensuring that it only gets scheduled once until the next frame update actually executes).
The correct way is the way that works, which this does.
