A useless infinite scroll experiment

Finally, a website that makes me feel like activating a superpower when I unlock the scroll wheel on my mouse.
Nice. I will now start using it when I feel a compulsive need to escape boredom during unfocused Zoom calls.
A few remarks:
- some sentences (many) seem to be cut off on desktop. I only see, eg. "content to keep the site from going viral" or "around here. We're not that ambitious".
- It's interesting that for users who have their device set to the superior scrolling direction ("reverse" scrolling, drag your fingers up to see what's at the top), your website behaves correctly but gives the opposite feeling. It's the first webpage where I've ever felt like "normal" scrolling (drag your fingers down to pull the page down) would be more natural.
- scrolling for long enough to get the first sound effect was quite a surprise
"This scroll will get you nowhere."
I disagree. It has gotten me to being entertained.
iOS health app could track this like steps. Total distance scrolled on your phone.
There was a iOS jailbreak tweak called Treadmill where it exactly done that. Pretty cool to me.

Small experiment about infinite scrolling.
It converts scrolling into a measurable distance.
The more you scroll, the more the site reminds you you're still scrolling.
Can you add an option to switch to feet? :)
you made my day!
Did I hear a moan after pausing around 200m ?
