The site looks very promising so far. The Onion has been running listicle-type articles for a while (in the form of captioned photo sets, bulleted lists, and more) so this seems like a natural extension. And the Buzzfeeds of the world certainly deserve the lampooning.
I love how there's a persistent click counter in the footer, which seems to be implemented with localStorage and also seems to be tied to some badge system.

- jcromartie 12y agoThe Onion was lampooning infographics before they took off and evolved into "listicles" at least 10 years ago.

- bluetidepro 12y agoThe badge system is interesting. You can see more of it here: http://www.clickhole.com/achievement-hole/ http://www.clickhole.com/achievement-hole/ It also resets after you get the top badge. I cheated and just kept running "jQuery("body").trigger("click");" in the browser console, and it triggered clicks. See: http://bluetide.pro/69vO/52JI0bMg http://bluetide.pro/69vO/52JI0bMg
