Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the "4-Day Time Cube." This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990's. Alas, it ceased to be some time ago, but it still lives on in our hearts.

For the uninitiated: welcome. Read and join the rest of us that are "educated stupid."

And additional reading:

Warning -- Do not attempt to read the entirety of the original text of the Time Cube web site even if you can find an archive of it. If you think you've ever seen a "wall of text," whatever you're thinking of pales in comparison to the monumental screed that Gene Ray put together and slapped on the internet. It's a completely incomprehensible monolith of run-on sentences and whackdoodle ranting in eye searing colors peppered with random bolding and underlining. You can glance at it to get the idea, but trying to process the entire thing will probably leave you just as insane as the author by the time you get to the bottom.

This has real parsing [X]HTML with regex vibes.

That answer is fantastic, I'm surprised it wasn't removed for being funny or something.

Any word on who got the $1k?

The government got it when they took us off the gold standard and thereby stole our wealth by converting it into a fiction that only They control the narrative of. We have been played for absolute fools.
