gollark: No. I am describing osmarks.tk 2.0™.

gollark: Also, there would be animations constantly which add no actual value but add 50% to the CPU use.

gollark: Anyway, if you could make it past that to one of the content pages, they would each have their own loading screens, probably prompt you for the newsletter again, have more irrelevant shiny images, and have excessively large text and a UI designed for 3.5" mobile phone screens.

gollark: They would have close buttons but they would only work 50% of the time.

gollark: Oh, and ones asking for cookie consent and newsletter signup.
