I am <center><div>fuck Mr beast</div></center> old

margin-left: 276px;

Adjust number until it looks centered. Easy peasy.

Make sure to put !important at the end just to be sure.

I got you fam: * { display: flex !important; }

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

People wanting to also center it vertically is what broke the web.

[–] xangadix@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just add <br> untill it looks somewhat in the middle, doh

display: grid for a single element feels kinda cursed to me

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 9 points 1 week ago

It definitely is lol. You’d use this for a landing page content container or something.

Hah. How about this: trap 1,000 regular web developers in a room. First one to use a proper semantic element instead of a div wins $1 million.

[–] 0x0@infosec.pub 39 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Good luck finding 1000 regular Web developers in this market

Or any market really, they really like their caves

[–] Madrigal@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

And their divs.

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m one of those old devs that has been writing CSS for like 18 years. It’s funny. Even with access to AI, folks still ask me CSS questions because I actually know the ins and outs of it.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I'd take "ask questions to that ancient dev even if it take 10 minutes of history lesson everytime" over using AI

Holy shit those lifeless eyes give me the creeps

I stand by my description of him: "That guy in Youtube thumbnails who smiles with his teeth but not his eyes."

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 36 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I just took a screenshot of the image and then cropped the bottom of his face out, there is no denying it

I don’t know what it is, but I just simply can’t believe that the guy is not deeply involved in some of the most twisted shit.

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I don't think there's a lot going on in Jimmy's head. Jimmy got his start on youtube by counting to 100,000. Then he just did whatever video idea he thought would get the most views. He's not a creative or intelligent person. Jimmy never really stopped counting.

[–] plenipotentprotogod@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Not sure if you referenced it on purpose, but Folding Ideas recently published a deep dive video essay on the Mr. Beast empire, and I believe that "Jimmy never stopped counting" was their conclusion as well.

It's a great video. I'd recommend it if you haven't seen it.

Every time I see that face I want to get violent. I want to just bash his head in with an axe handle. That fake ass fucking smile just drives me to rage and I don't know why.

[–] DigitalForest@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

The smile doesn't reach his eyes. When someone is genuinely smiling, the area around the eyes wrinkle up some (especially the outside corners). Fake smiles don't do that, not without conscious effort. It's so unsettling because it's setting off an instinctual urge of "this guy is being deceptive and is likely a threat". You can check by covering part of the face in the image: cover the mouth, and the eyes just look dead and soulless.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 12 points 1 week ago

I'm not usually one to knock someone's appearance but you're right with this guy's weird friggin grin. Like it's not genuine or even appearing to be, in the slightest.

It's so cynical, cold, creepy and soulless. How did the A-B testing that drives his every single decision settle on that expression?

Forcing people to write CSS? I thought there was an international treaty against that

[–] rylviq@sopuli.xyz 24 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

It's not a difficult task at all without AI. I mean if they can use forms and sites like the og stackoverflow, w3 schools,.etc

[–] ivan@piefed.social 40 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That's a big "IF" tho. I've been teaching embedded programming classes and had to teach folks some very basic stuff like how to RTFM or how to look for stuff on the internet - people don't even use search engines anymore. 🌚

[–] Jakylla@jlai.lu 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Claude has become the search Engine. Stackoverflow doesn't even exist in the mind of Vibe coders around me. Disconnecting claude means coffee-time until it's back

that's a big IF. few weeks ago I had to teach a junior dev how divs worked, he had no idea. he even initially asked an LLM how they worked and the LLM hallucinated half the responses.

I learned today that the "branding" for Claude is an anus.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 18 points 1 week ago

All the AI logos are.

[–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

Well, Vonnegut's anus.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

It could also be the splat of something that came out of an anus. It works on multiple levels.

[–] CrolishGrandma@programming.dev 16 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I misread and and thought it said with Claude. Which would still be an interesting challenge 😅

[–] somnuz@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago

solved it:

take a screenshot of the div in question, set it as a background for the body and make it no-repeat, center center.. don’t forget to slap some fancy 100vh for the body too..

done! It will even render exactly the same so it is cross-browser ready!

use the option cover and it will work for all screen sizes and resolutions!

add diabolical-laughter-047.mp3 as the unstoppable music loop and like seven useless frameworks for additional style points, ohh and like three font families.. just in case.. and definitely some analytics from BIG G

— profit.

Centre it horizontally or vertically?

he of course determines who is the winner beforehand, like all his other challenges.

"Congratulations, you won million dollars! But first, we'll, of course, have to deduct the cost of the AI credits you used in this challenge..."
