Any YouTube video, with _CAPTIONS_ on (The CC button), to add text to your 1911 video :)

To find other videos with captions, append ",cc" to your search, like "cats, cc".

xkcd is 3D: http://xkcd.com/

Randall is accepting user-submitted 3D versions of each comic: http://xkcd.com/xk3d/

We're pretty B2B, so we just subtly rotate the whole page by -2.5 to +2.5 deg. https://www.toptranslation.com/ (Supports the DNF protocol, btw.)

I'm planning on installing a transparent proxy that rotates web pages 1-2 degrees with CSS3 transforms. https://github.com/gcr/proxies/blob/master/rotating-proxy.js

This is AWESOME. Got a link to an example?

Why was this downvoted? I'm not a developer, is there some kind of humour I've missed here?
