If you came here after watching a youtube video, just know that the influencers are wrong about “somehow making all the dots red to access the website.” I don’t know where this rumor started but it’s not true.

Lmao thank you! I was pulling my hair out.

Worth noting though that those strings never actually appear as the red text.

Which does make the code more noteworthy.

To be clear, these nodes you can tap

These, we cannot yet do anything with

Each one of the nodes on the pages will take you out to the page we cannot yet do anything with

Oh ok! I had seen a couple YouTubers say (for some reason) that we must turn every node red to access the website.

So anyway, (apologies) to answer your question, the “inside” of the site was discovered when Skyscraper-prj posted a link to the first “waking” post within the blog.

From here, we just started going ham, both Googling for more subdirectories and crawling the site for more pages/posts.

So the front page is more cosmetic for the time being.

Any idea why the live version wouldn’t appear in the same way as the seemingly intentional placeholder text?

1694

1695

Tyvm again, will do :3

We have an awesome user here, @Ekimo1920 who built this site to maintain a timeline of everything that has been happening and it’s a highly recommended read.

In regards to the differing types of capitalisation it may be worth taking note of :
All Caps is usually an attention-getter like yelling.
A standard sentence or phrase typically only has a Capital letter at the begining.
Proper nouns (names) use a capitals for each word (usually).
All lower case is a more modern thing commonly used in digital language.

Edit: I’m now only getting 2 versions but others are getting 4 & the source files do seem to have 4 variations.

The js block @ L266 of the page source (I have commented to explain) performs a randomisation (Fisher-Yates) on them in the live wp-block for cosmetics:

<script>
function scrambleWord(el) {
    const original = el.dataset.word;      // Get original from data-word attr
    let letters = original.split('');       // Split into char array
    for (let i = letters.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
        const j = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
        [letters[i], letters[j]] = [letters[j], letters[i]];  // Swap
    }
    el.textContent = letters.join('');      // Replace displayed text
}

document.querySelectorAll('.scramble-text').forEach(el => {
    scrambleWord(el);                       // Scramble immediately
    setInterval(() => scrambleWord(el), 1000);  // Re-scramble every 1 sec
});
</script>

If there is intent, it’s in the original two instances (the meta description and the href text before cosmetics).
