Hacker News, what happened to you?

Father time has been cruel to you. Where once was a thriving community of armchair intellectuals eager to share their thoughts on Edward Snowden, Hyperloop, and the latest Snapchat valuation, now there is pixelated pornography.

At least we're still very good at overloading servers.

You're supposed to look only at the source code!

The pixelised version leaves more to the imagination and ends-up looking more NSFW than the uncensored version.

That was the whole point of it...

So can I open this? Or am I going to blast an enormous self-similar phallus onto my monitor for all my colleagues?

It kinda looks like a heavily pixelated gif of dude jerking off with a fleshjack from his POV.

Looks like a buttfuck both pixelated and uncensored.

Its pretty tame and is pixelated until clicked.

Since I am at work I have to ask... is the content of this NSFW?
[+] p4bl0|12 years ago|reply
It is very pixelated but it still isn't if people you can't explain what this is might look at your screen IMO.

EDIT: it is "pixelated" not "pixelized"? Didn't know.

Seems the pallet was chosen specifically to elicit the NSFW characterization. Choose another set of colors and suddenly it's less salacious.
[+] tlarkworthy|12 years ago|reply
also the rhythm of the animation. A single still frame, even in the skin color scheme, wouldn't evoke any NSFW thoughts either.

What!?!? Ok for a minute there I thought I accidentally ended up on some bizarre sub-reddit...oh wait it is the NEW HN </sarcasm>

If you click twice it goes full screen. Remember that.

Be sure to check out voyeur mode (uncomment the first line of the shader)

Anyone else open it at work and then immediately close it?
[+] rplnt|12 years ago|reply
Seems to be down already.

edit: few reloads helped

page just crashes on chromium 28 :/

Doesn't work in Chrome 30. Hopefully in 5-10 years WebGL will be stable. Or we could just use PNaCl.
