I don't know why, but I find it absolutely hilarious, in a good way. It's such a weird thing to build, but it gives you that fuzzy old-school internet vibe.
It's awesome.

#12hmm, and here i was thinking that the Shabbat is to disconnect and unwind... you know get away from the constant notifications and such.

#14I don't get it: the potential user has to use some kind of computer/smartphone/non-kosher device to make use of this server. Not to mention all the network infrastructure in-between!
Is there a rabbi here to enlighten us?

#15A bizarre and not very appealing website BUT an interesting provocation about what values we embed into technology.

#16I can't find the exact quote but I think a comedian once said something along the lines of (large pinches of salt on the quote and whether it was said by a comedian):
You think your god is all knowing, etc.. but at the same time stupid enough to fall for these work arounds

#17That's a lot of effort to do nothing. Does anyone know if there is some significance to it being calculated on Tuesday? Since Shabbat is from Friday to Saturday I would have picked Sunday or Monday.
Assuming everyone else don't work on the Shabbat, there should be nothing new to calculate on Sunday, compared to Thursday. You can't use the site on Friday to Saturday yourself, because Shabbat, so indexing on Thursday perhaps also doesn't make sense, because no one will see it before Saturday. Tuesday is sort of in between... It's weird, why not do the calculating all other days than Friday and Saturday?

#18The lengths some people go to for religion... smh
Some people live their lives for the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Some live their lives for the gods capitalism. I'd say the former is a lot less pernicious.
They both have pros and cons. Entire wars were fought over the ideals of both, and both dominate their "believers everyday life.

This whole thing is not required for Judaism at all.
