Pretty pissed at this new firefox update. It moved my profile to my Desktop folder and started me a new one, required an entire reboot of the machine to run without crashing immediately, and enabled all telemetry and everything (must be the new default settings for fresh profiles). All of this without a single prompt or warning!

File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: not a chance

#vim tip of the day: You can literally travel back in time. To jump to the state a file had 10 minutes ago, use the following command:
:earlier 10m
To then go forward in time 1 minute, use this command:
:later 1m

So I wad just talking about domain names and I happened to use smellmyf.art as an example. To my astonishment, this domain was available (it isn't any more!)
But that got me to thinking, "I wonder if eatmysh.it is available?"
Unfortunately it isn't, but the website that hosts it is AMAZING!

@brandon mentioned that it has no JS β that's putting it mildly. Here's the full source, beautiful in its simplicity:
<html>
<head>
<title>eatmysh.it</title>
<style>
body {
background-image: url('home.jpg');
height: 100%;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
