The Xkcd thing, now interactive

Too delightful. Like a reverse jenga tower you like to topple over. Of course, glad to see it was another @isohedral project.

If only it wouldn't collapse by itself after clicking anywhere (clicking seems to activate physics) this would be 10/10

Register the mousemove event handler on window, then you will still get the events when the mouse moves out of the window/frame while dragging and it won't be that buggy.

oh look at that. removing IBM enterprise apps really doesn’t break anything and the whole stack got lighter. science.

this is the best thing internet since the last best thing in the internet

What’s the Nebraska project?

It looks like the stroke/border is not taken into account in the physics simulation.

I'd like a medal for clearing the screen of all debris. What's that you say, some of it is still useful? oh

Now we just need a generated version of this based on a package.json!

Really cool! To be honest, when I clicked on this I had a hope that it would be possible to add things to the stack like the ongoing memes of just putting different things in there (maybe live with other people as a collaborative editor).

I would suggest adding the /r/ProgrammerHumor version too: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/1p204nx/ac... The AI crank always cracks me up.

the weird physics are mildly infuriating. still funny though

We absolutely need a "whatever Microsoft is doing" object in that.

knowtheory

I love that the initial state itself isn't stable. The world keeps moving around us. Can't choose staying still.

It's like open source Angry Birds.

Who are the big blocks that survive the collapse though?

jascha_eng

This is oddly fun to play with. Has that angry birds vibe

Just to mention the original was cited in the most recent Veritasium video: "The Internet Was Weeks Away From Disaster and No One Knew" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoag03mSuXQ (at about the 9:50 mark)

This is very real.
