Doomscroll Depth Gauge

Below is an infinite-scroll feed of procedurally generated non-news — deadpan, empty-calorie, entirely fake, and assembled on the fly from word lists in this file. Nothing here is real and nothing here is upsetting; the joke is the mechanic, not the content. What makes this room different from the feed on your phone is that it's honest about what it's doing: a live gauge tracks exactly how far you've scrolled and converts it into increasingly absurd units, because somebody should be keeping score, and it certainly isn't the feed.

There is no way to finish it. That's not a bug — it's the entire bit, and also, uncomfortably, the entire industry.

Your dive so far

The number on the gauge at the bottom of the screen is your current depth — it goes up and down as you scroll, like a real depth gauge, because you can always come back up. This panel remembers the deepest you've ever gone, and how far you've scrolled in total, which never goes back down.

Just getting comfortable.

Reset your record

The button below wipes your personal deepest record and your lifetime distance scrolled, permanently, on this device only. It also empties the feed below and starts a new one. Nothing here is stored anywhere except your own browser — there is nothing to reset on a server, because there is no server.
