At some point the webpage says something like "You are deeper than the Mariana Trench" and also make a few jokes with other comparisons. I expect USA people to prefer to avoid SI units.
If the site where showing temperatures °C and °F option would be even more important. I can translate from feet and miles ($feets/3 and miles*1.5) and get a good estimation, but I can't translate from °F to °C in my head and know if I must use a hoodie or not.
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
Windows autoscroll makes this game too easy. This feature was introduced a very long time ago, possibly with the IntelliMouse in the year 1996. Press on the scroll wheel (considered to be middle-click) and release the button, which overlays a little scroll guide circle. Move the mouse down to begin scrolling, and don't touch anything else. Click any mouse button to stop scrolling. (Another variant is to click and hold the wheel button, move the mouse down to scroll, and release the button to stop.)
Fun. I took out a tape measure to see how accurate it was. It wasn't very accurate. Also the scale on the left scrolls faster than my finger. Fennec(Firefox) on Android.
The scale on the left was also very stuttery. Even when scrolling slow I could see the distance at the bottom updating at a very high frame rate and the scale on the left only moved occasionally which felt awful.
Just likte this demonstrates the stupidity of infinite scrolling, here is a site that demonstrates how easy it is to manipulate everybody to click click on things that gives us rewards:
I'm confused by that thing. After scrolling for a couple of minutes, the animation seems to play on on its own for longer than I cared to wait. Isn't the animation supposed to be coupled to the scrolling?
And it doesn't really feel like scrolling either, since apart from the tiny depth bar on the left, no content scrolls by.
Omg, in 3 and half km I realized, that rankings are only for mobile devices! Is there really someone, who scrolled more than 35 km just by using his finger??

The more you scroll, the more the site reminds you you're still scrolling.

I disagree. It has gotten me to being entertained.
