@peter ah fuck I needed that laugh

@peter

Oh, that made me laugh out loud, which hurts at the moment due to whiplash.

Someone should do an embroidery of that....

@peter

That's performance art.

@peter Embroidery Intensifies

@peter
Embroidery tips, but they get louder with every moment.

@peter @caity I needed that laugh - I don’t think anyone has ever yelled at me about embroidery

@peter
🤣 🤣 🤣 There’s something oddly sweet about it. 🥰 It’s like an older lady who needs stronger and stronger reading glasses to finish the flower covered shirt for her grandson who will never wear it. #Embroidery

@peter back in the day it wasn't unusual not to close <p> tags, the author must have assumed the same goes for any tag. and i wouldn't be surprised if it worked just fine in one of the browsers.

@peter Funnier than expected! 😃

@peter it’s like a zip bomb for my browser! Thanks

@peter I KNOW THIS ONE !!!! i saw video about it at some point :]

@peter So what exactly happens here? Not to close the h2- and h3-tags does not lead to such a behaviour.

@peter

3:O)))>

Please.... can someone animate that to the Star Wars opening crawl, possibly with the music getting louder and louder as the font size increases. (The actual "Main Theme" on CD lasts almost six minutes, which ought to be long enough.)

@peter TIL that you can stack h3 tags. Huh, manmade horrors beyond human comprehension. Neat!

@peter Oh this is absolutely EPIC.

Followed by a link title "Embroidery Trouble Shooting Page" and a web.archive.org link to the article.

@peter @Herover @jakobdaniel

@peter lol

@peter bursted in laugh

@peter Embroidery was never this ANGRY before.

@peter HAHAHAHAHA 🤣😂😂

@peter I saw this over there and showed it to my wife. Couldn’t stop giggling the entire time. We haven’t laughed that hard in years.

@peter it's cause on some browser user-agents, the font-size of an h3 tag was defined absolutely, not relative to the current font-size. here's a screenshot on windows 9x!

@peter @Anzeliane omg why is this so funny

Post from Emma Zhou on Bluesky. As follows: "does everybody know about my favorite website, the embroidery tips page that forgot to close its h3 tags"

The link goes to an archived snapshot of an embroidery website, where the text gets bigger and bigger with each paragraph. Read it like you're screaming for extra effect.

@peter until the VERY end where it has this in a tiny tiny font….

If a problem persists, we recommend that you contact
Sewing and Embroidery Warehouse

@peter
This perfectly encapsulates the dread I feel every time I use a sewing machine.

@peter amazing. sideways-scrolling across giant sans-serif letters taller than the screen felt like a graphical flourish from the intro to a 1960s spy movie or something

@peter @rooster I laughed harder than I should have

@peter At least its handy for visually impaired people :p

@peter omg

@peter my favorite part of this site:

@peter
Bwahahaha

@peter i wish all sites were like this. it's exciting to read.

@peter more like Embroidery Trouble Shouting

@peter Wait, what, H tags accumulate when nested? I never knew

@peter the font size goes up to 7999.96 pixels :neofox_floof:

@peter I’m halfway down the page and it feels like art 👏 i love it

@peter in case anyone doesn't feel like opening and scrolling

@peter@thepit.social holy shit, the text at the very bottom. 😂

@peter gets better and better!

@peter Oh yes, an absolute classic of the very best of the Web.

@peter oh my god i'm not even 10% through

@peter It is a period of civil embroidery.
Rebel tatters, striking
from a hidden base, have won
their first victory against
the evil Darning Empire.

@peter ahahahahaha omg

@peter

@peter oh. OH. ROFL

@peter@thepit.social This is a vibe ngl

@peter That is brilliant. 😂

@peter I remember this. Good lord.

@peter When we talk about how the Web is no good anymore, we mean because it doesn’t have pages like this.

@peter _{^{Please stop shouting, I am very scared.}}

@peter Mostly surprised that the web browser didn’t crash rendering this.

@peter that's the Star Wars ebroidery club! 🤣

@peter no idea whether I'm just in a weird mood, but I literally laughed tears while scrolling down the page

@peter my bf said this is what anxiety feels like

@peter i fucking cant believe how hard i laughed at that

@peter ((embroidery intensifies))

@peter whoaaaaaaaaaagaggggggggggggg!!!!!!!

This is art. Holy shit, my sides.

@peter

@peter (Please pardon the @... screenshot of Emmu Zhou on bsky posting "does everyone know about my favorite website, the embroidery tips page that forget to close its <h3> tags" with a link to the same archive.org page. the <h3>'s are nested, so at least in some browsers, each successive tip is in a larger font than the previous, quickly reaching ridiculous proportions and just continuing. It's like if the Star Wars opening credits were verbally assaulting you.

@peter Viewing this on a semi-large monitor at 30% zoom is the best thing I have done all week

@peter omg

@peter this is a P
