One script to rule them all ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ノ⌐■-■ var c=document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');function a(e){ea(e+1),500)),!c[e].checked&&a(e+1))}a(0);

The timeout can be about 200 before you need to chill out..

i am pretty sure cursing is against the site rules, so i object ;-)

I added a Mac keyboard shortcut, so anywhere I type "shrg" it expands to ‾\_(ツ)_/‾ If I need an escaped version, that's "shrgg": ‾\\\_(ツ)\_/‾

Did this ever turn against you when coding? `std::shared_ptr shrg = ...` or similar?

I spent five minutes writing “hey you, yes you” only to read your comment and realize my message is unparsable for those not on mobile.

This problem is traditionally solved by attempting to teach the aliens how to decode the pattern inside the pattern itself. For example a rendering might look like x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ x x x x x x x x x…

If you used a prime number instead of 30 (e.g. 29) then the aliens would spend less time checking the factors of 30 (15, 10, 6, 5, 3, 2).

How long did you spend crafting this comment? Be honest. I could imagine doing that with Vim, but I don’t think I could do it in less than ten minutes. And then I’d get sidetracked about whether to represent empty checkboxes with _ or - or a Unicode box.

Can be pretty fast if you know your tools well :)

Just tried in VSCode; 2:38min using its fabulous multiline editing. 1:34min on second try due to practice

to the downvoters, parent comment is just trying to be funny and deserves pity ;-)

and we are now stuck in an endless loop due to a recursive error. damn!

(developer here) this is....more popular than i expected. the server's gonna be having some problems for a while

I think there's a severe problem with this implementation. By using wrapping, I can't write "boobs" and have everyone else read my graffiti without them having having the same zoom wrapping point.

The other problem is that there are a bunch of people here running scripts to automatically erase anything you do in the name of checking every box

I feel like the checkbox grid should have been locked to a certain width. I can see people attempting to draw things, but they're skewed on my screen.

Oh, that's a shame. The big willy I drew is only visible at exactly the width I have it set at. I wonder what random things I'm missing. It takes a while to reflow too so it's not like it's easy to resize the window and see in realtime what other people are ding.

At first I was clicking the top but people kept unchecking my stuff. Why can't we (we ? who's that we ?) all get along toward clicking them all ? So I figured there would be less people fighting down the window, right ? For a while I was alone. It was a boring and meaningless job but it felt peaceful. Then I met someone who's also checking boxes, 5 seconds top, they are gone. Okay, then I kept scrolling, checking box…

I jumped to a random spot, very far down. I decided to write HELLO in checks. I didn't get past the H before someone found me and griefed it. Must this 1 million checkbox ledger of art, devolve into madness? No matter how far I scroll there is nothing discernable. A wasteland of meaninglessness. This is just chaos.

I did the same, but started writing Fudge, to keep it clean. I got to FU and someone finished it with CK. It made me laugh much harder than it should have.
