  You can select the text by disabling CSS.

    Or by visiting a rendering which doesn't support CSS at all: eg https://aartaka.me/select-text.txt https://aartaka.me/select-text.txt

      This hack is exactly why I do multi-format posts.

        I note the non-HTML posts look like Markdown, why do you use .txt as the extension instead of .md .mdwn or .markdown?

    I presume so but it adds nothing to the topic ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

      It does add a comic effect, so I consider it quite useful.

  Given that text is selectable elsewhere on the site, I suspect that the author is trying to make a point by that.
