Infinite Regress

At the risk of destroying either my website or the computer of anyone visiting, I have created an infinite regress into this article. By embedding an iframe in the HTML code, linking to this very post, it appears there is an infinite number of windows going back into this article. It almost blows your mind, except that I’m sure it’s a pretty simple bit of coding. I just stumbled upon it rather accidentally while fooling around with some HTML code. I could not tell you what an iframe is if you asked.

    That iframe thing is neat. And I can just think how little code that actually requires.

    You’re right, if you really start to think about it, it blows your mind.

    PS: This is just a thought. I had to turn up the brightness of my screen to be able to navigate in your page. I’d think something like that should not really be required when surfing.

    Thanks for the tip. I’ll touch up the colours or maybe just try a new theme since it’s a little dark at the moment.

    This infinite regress takes FOREVER to load.
