I am <center><div>fuck Mr beast</div></center> old
margin-left: 276px;
Adjust number until it looks centered. Easy peasy.
Make sure to put !important at the end just to be sure.
Best viewed on Internet Explorer with 800x600 display
Needs more flexbox
I got you fam: * { display: flex !important; }
People wanting to also center it vertically is what broke the web.
Just add <br> untill it looks somewhat in the middle, doh
...or tables with a lot of spacer.gif
Yeah don’t give this guy any extra attention
display: grid for a single element feels kinda cursed to me
It definitely is lol. You’d use this for a landing page content container or something.
Now make it work on IE6.
Ah, I remember the days when they used to be using PNGs for those.
PNGs!? Oh sweet summer child...
IE6 didn't support PNGs? I guess I could misremember but I am fairly sure it did.
Not transparent PNGs without using some cursed vendor css filter stuff
Hey. Hey hey hey HEY.
That's not fair to us.
Random Linux nerds who were bullied. BULLIED, I say. When we coded our personal sites on Netscape on Linux (which was painful enough when Netscape 4 had a hazy understanding of CSS1/2 already) and the site had some random glitches on IE from time when we couldn't ensure IE compatibility.
This "IE6" shit needs to stay buried, OK? This is "history that must never repeat" shit, OK? OK. Good.
BONUS JOKE:
There was a whole range of jokes dedicated to what happens when you shoot yourself on foot with your favourite programming language.
My favourite was this:
"You shoot yourself in the foot with JavaScript.
If using Netscape, your arm falls off.
If using MSIE, your head explodes."
flex gang where
I use flex for most stuff 💪🏼
Just throw it in a flexbox with margin: auto
Hah. How about this: trap 1,000 regular web developers in a room. First one to use a proper semantic element instead of a div wins $1 million.
Good luck finding 1000 regular Web developers in this market
Or any market really, they really like their caves
And their divs.
I’m one of those old devs that has been writing CSS for like 18 years. It’s funny. Even with access to AI, folks still ask me CSS questions because I actually know the ins and outs of it.
I'd take "ask questions to that ancient dev even if it take 10 minutes of history lesson everytime" over using AI
The history lesson is bonus content.
Yeah, and usually they are nice or funny ones
Holy shit those lifeless eyes give me the creeps
I stand by my description of him: "That guy in Youtube thumbnails who smiles with his teeth but not his eyes."
I just took a screenshot of the image and then cropped the bottom of his face out, there is no denying it
Jason Segel really carried that show
Dont dead open inside
he looks like he's crying
I don’t know what it is, but I just simply can’t believe that the guy is not deeply involved in some of the most twisted shit.
I don't think there's a lot going on in Jimmy's head. Jimmy got his start on youtube by counting to 100,000. Then he just did whatever video idea he thought would get the most views. He's not a creative or intelligent person. Jimmy never really stopped counting.
Not sure if you referenced it on purpose, but Folding Ideas recently published a deep dive video essay on the Mr. Beast empire, and I believe that "Jimmy never stopped counting" was their conclusion as well.
It's a great video. I'd recommend it if you haven't seen it.
Idle hands and all that. Someone this vacuous with this much access to resources sounds like the perfect target for manipulation by someone with ill intent. Whatever it is may not have been his idea, but he also doesn’t seem like the person to say no to a paycheck for literally any reason.
I think that's underselling it, severely. I have no idea what would win the YouTube algorithm, many people try and don't get a fraction as close to Mr. Beast. Clearly, he has the creativity to come up with incredibly successful video ideas, initially even all by himself! Even he they're not my style, and I personally dislike his videos, brand and the guy's own personality, I do have to recognise he has this from of creativity and a lot of it.
Well, Jimmy Donaldson is guilty of torture and running illegal sweepstakes at the very least. His company is also the perfect place for Epstein class wannabes, which I’ve heard rumblings about but nothing concrete.
His internal monologue; “Just lift the corners of your lips and it will look natural”
The Smile Demon has returned once more
Every time I see that face I want to get violent. I want to just bash his head in with an axe handle. That fake ass fucking smile just drives me to rage and I don't know why.
The smile doesn't reach his eyes. When someone is genuinely smiling, the area around the eyes wrinkle up some (especially the outside corners). Fake smiles don't do that, not without conscious effort. It's so unsettling because it's setting off an instinctual urge of "this guy is being deceptive and is likely a threat". You can check by covering part of the face in the image: cover the mouth, and the eyes just look dead and soulless.
I'm not usually one to knock someone's appearance but you're right with this guy's weird friggin grin. Like it's not genuine or even appearing to be, in the slightest.
It's so cynical, cold, creepy and soulless. How did the A-B testing that drives his every single decision settle on that expression?
Because he is a insufferable douche bag
Forcing people to write CSS? I thought there was an international treaty against that
It's not a difficult task at all without AI. I mean if they can use forms and sites like the og stackoverflow, w3 schools,.etc
That's a big "IF" tho. I've been teaching embedded programming classes and had to teach folks some very basic stuff like how to RTFM or how to look for stuff on the internet - people don't even use search engines anymore. 🌚
Claude has become the search Engine. Stackoverflow doesn't even exist in the mind of Vibe coders around me. Disconnecting claude means coffee-time until it's back
I still use a normal search engine. I use AI chats when I really need it for something. Well it does makes thing easier tho
I've been wanting to try embedded programming for a while, it looks fun!
What would you recommend as a starting point? Any books I should pick up?
If you're very new to that - I'd just recommend picking up some Arduino (at least UNO R3) starter kit plus some measurement tools - multimeter and maybe an oscilloscope (there are cheap handheld ones like DSO).
And then you just fool around with what you've got - try to read each sensors data, try to use each actuator, think of some useful projects with what you've got.
And from there you can go to stuff like ESP32 to explore wireless stuff (mostly compatible with Arduino too).
that's a big IF. few weeks ago I had to teach a junior dev how divs worked, he had no idea. he even initially asked an LLM how they worked and the LLM hallucinated half the responses.
I know this gets said a lot, but... we're so cooked.
I'm a backend engineer that only does minor frontend tasks once in a blue moon, and on the top of my head I know two ways to center a div horizontally (well 3 with the obvious <center>) and one to center it vertically. When I hear frontend developers saying it's hard, I always start questioning their competence at a basic level.
This is a place of hatred and ridicule, not a serious conversation. :(
As someone with very little programming knowledge, the existence of all the "Learn how to program in our easy to use course and AI Assistance for $800 a month!" sites baffles me when w3schools is just... there. It has helped me massively, without a dime.
I also just realised that the about page of w3s has a ChatGPT section of "This is how ChatGPT describes W3Schools", why????
I learned today that the "branding" for Claude is an anus.
All the AI logos are.
Well, Vonnegut's anus.
It could also be the splat of something that came out of an anus. It works on multiple levels.
I misread and and thought it said with Claude. Which would still be an interesting challenge 😅
Maybe could be interesting to get an AI to create a prompt for another AI, and send that prompt down the line like Chinese whispers.
Edit : or maybe it wouldn't be. I havent used LLMs and such for about 5 years. I was fascinated at first and played with them for about 2 days getting them to write limerick and shit, but the novelty wore off fast.
I‘ d recommend playing around a bit with opencode and their free models, just to see what changed. Oh and you don’t have to use it to code, but a fun experiment would be to run it in a Linux container and see what it can do.
center this div hor and vert no questions asked go its approved
Centre it horizontally or vertically?
Yes
Thanks Claude.
Looks pretty centered to me ✅
solved it:
take a screenshot of the div in question, set it as a background for the body and make it no-repeat, center center.. don’t forget to slap some fancy 100vh for the body too..
done! It will even render exactly the same so it is cross-browser ready!
use the option cover and it will work for all screen sizes and resolutions!
add diabolical-laughter-047.mp3 as the unstoppable music loop and like seven useless frameworks for additional style points, ohh and like three font families.. just in case.. and definitely some analytics from BIG G
— profit.
he of course determines who is the winner beforehand, like all his other challenges.
Poor guys, they'll starve before that happens
"Congratulations, you won million dollars! But first, we'll, of course, have to deduct the cost of the AI credits you used in this challenge..."
they don’t have ai…
The irony is twofold here. A div takes up 100% of its parent's width by default because it's a block-level element, as all such elements do.
But centering stuff on the page has been trivially ezpz since at least a decade.
Poor div, always the butt of the joke.
100%. It's already centered.
Exactly 😄
And if its anything like the stuff he put out, it's rigged with a plant, like the kid of someone who works for him, from the beginning so he doesn't have to really pay anything
No Claude? No problem! Just ask one of the many other LLMs for the answer. Easiest million ever!
/s
Why is Mr Beast next to the picture of Claude's butthole?
Huh. All I can see is two pictures of buttholes.
Imagine if it had no internet access but it had all the relevant docs.
I dont get it
Vibe coders are really dumb.
Well, i am a vibecoder after all so it kinda makes sense i dont get it lol
It's like a modern day blond joke.
Just do it already.
Flexboxes are cool but their naming conventions are shiet
Easy money 💰
I only know how to do it using a table hehe.
Mr beast if he was based
Yes it's so difficult. /s
<div style="width: 100%">This meets the spec if the only requirement is that it's centered.<\div>
