I can see that the file alternates between segments of:
- Repetitions of the glyph "t̴́̍̒", which is a lowercase t with a combining tilde overlay, an acute accent, a vertical line above, and a turned comma above
- Random-looking ASCII characters with lots of apostrophes (spelled as ' in the HTML)
- Short sequences of spaces, non-breaking spaces, and zero-width joiners
- Occasional emoji
The "t̴́̍̒"s manage to slow down my terminal and glitch its rendering a bit. Is it that they're unexpectedly tall? But we've had zalgo-text for a while and it hasn't actually crashed devices.
When I was 13 I built a program called "BorG" that did a lot of fun stuff and animations (but the effects didn't freeze people for very long) and chatbots - and I charged $3 as shareware. Or $5 if you really liked it. I got about 100 people mailing me envelopes! And I used to grab some of that money when I wanted to buy pizza or food to hang out. Those were the days.
I wonder if anyone here used it? :)
