OK, I just found Shgorgus, so now I know it's a joke. I'm still not sure what about.

    Just make a folder called "Porn." Everyone will assume you're trying to be funny because, you know, that's way too obvious.

    I honestly have no idea how much work that took, but I'm impressed by it. And damn, the universal regret constant is powerful. The people with happy thoughts seem fake and two dimensional. The unhappy ones seem to have clear lives played out in two or three sentences.

    Or, perhaps, I'm reading too much into it.

    This reminds me of an old gag in the last Mac OS where you could put aliases of a folder inside of itself. Put one of these "infinite" folders on a coworker's desktop and they click about 20 times before they say "wtf!?". Boy, I really pissed my boss off with that trick.

    I found some books, tried to read one via page > paragraph. Then there a bunch of entries for what look like random letters. Some kind of puzzle/code, maybe? Clicking into a letter just yields "ink" (which decomposes into alcohol and oil). Here's the first paragraph of one:

    For anyone who hasn't found the Secret Note giving away this detail, you can put ?seed=*** at the end of the url to define a starting point. e.g, person, bookshelf, fish, psyche, sea monster, etc.
