This somehow manages my monitor to make a high pitched sound. It's an LCD monitor. It's the actual monitor making the sound. Switching to a different window or tab makes the sound top. Taking a screenshot of the tab, and closing the tab but viewing the screenshot, produces the sound.

May be your age. Higher pitched frequencies are often heard by you youngsters but not us old folk.

Am I doing something wrong? I don't see anything interesting. I see black lines and some art scrolling behind the lines. Is there some sort of illusion this is supposed to create?

Same here on a MBP.

Mine doesn't (Retina without ghosting).

Though, when scrolling on the site, _something_ (it's not the screen) is making weird noises, almost like the sound when accessing a HDD. I have an SSD though.

I had the same issues with other sites / applications when scrolling in general as well. Even more noticeable with the MacBook Air I had before. Is there any rational explanation for this?

What's the top image? I thought it was a spinning skull at first but that can't be right.

That's what I thought. That was the only one that didn't look very good.

Mine too. What is this sorcery?

To scroll super-slowly and smoothly on Windows, use the middle-click thing that spawns a little arrow-circle doodad. I'm pretty sure Linuces are inconsistent about implementing that feature, though.

I see, you have to use the scroll bar which goes one pixel at a time. This doesn't work for me if I use my scroll wheel on my mouse. It works if I grab the scroll bar and move downward.

Scanimation has a series of books which use this technique: http://scanimationbooks.com/

Here's one implementation that is a bit more transparent on what's happening; plus it's sideways. http://codepen.io/bfred-it/details/BFDkI
