Idiocracy Is Non-Fiction
Wisedocks: Now With EXTRA BIG ASS FRIES!
First of all, if you are reading this, congradul... congrajul.. congrats, you may not be an idiot. Video is easy to follow, while words are hard and make brain tired.
I love the movie Idiocracy and have always felt that it would someday ring true. The writers at Pixar foretold the future as well with WALL-E.
Mike Judge isn't a wizard, it is no secret that we are becoming dumber. In the United States, the Department of Education is being torn to shreds and theology is being shoved down our children's throats at an alarming rate. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point.
I Embrace The Dumb
Sarcasm plays a big role in my life and I have chosen to embrace the dumbing down of our population. My most popular website is FartDump.com and I'm not even surprised. Even while learning the do's and don'ts of website architecture, one of the main don'ts is to never use more than 2 sentences in a paragraph. They say, "No one wants to see a wall of text."
Every time I see that, I scoff and mumble, "Yeah, mouth-breathers." Yet, I digress and keep my paragraphs short to appease the millions tens of readers that grace my sites.
I'm ranting on about how dumb we are as a prelude into why I redesigned the stylesheet on Wisedocks. It is a complete rip-off... I cheated and stole someone else's design.
The other day I stumbled upon the website Idiocracy.wtf and fell in love with the design. I quickly opened up dev tools and started hunting down each class like a crackhead that just found a bump on a bathroom sink.
If you are the designer of that website and found me through backlinks, just remember imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The scanlines... oh, chef's kiss!
.scanlines {
pointer-events: none;
z-index: 9999;
background: repeating-linear-gradient(0deg,#00000014 0 1px,#0000 1px 3px);
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
It really ties the whole thing together.

Tipping Has Gotten Out Of Hand
The Fake Tip Page here has become quite popular. Tipping culture is something else that really grinds my gears. If all you did was hand me food and turned an iPad around while looking away and saying, "There is a question for you to answer." Then you didn't do anything to deserve a tip. I still tip, but I like you less.
I don't dine in at restaurants near as much as I use to merely because the tips now tack on an extra 20% to 30% minimum, on top of the already expensive food. No thanks, I'll eat at home, the food is better there anyhow.
The next time someone asks for a tip that didn't do anything to deserve one, use the Fake Tip page and flip the script on them. I built a different version of the page on FartDump, you can check that one out by clicking HERE.
Okay, hint taken, grandpa is going to go take a nap.
