Rabbit Hole

None of this is hidden exactly. It is just not pointed at. If you clicked around long enough, or hovered the right icon, or mashed a few keys out of curiosity, you would have found all of it eventually. This page just saves you the trouble, as a small thank you for sticking around this long.

The Consolepress C
There is a terminal living inside this site. Click the terminal icon in the navbar, or just press C. It runs real commands: theme, font and ml-font to change how the site looks, audio to control sound, ls to list every page, whoami, weather, streak, fortune, ping, and a couple of jokes it will not explain itself. Type help once you are in.
Shufflepress F
The shuffle icon in the navbar, or the Fkey, rerolls the site's theme, font, and Malayalam font all at once. No confirmation, no undo. If the site suddenly looks different, that is why.
Surprise Mepages menu
Tucked inside the Pages menu is a dice icon that drops you on a random writeup or concept from the archive. A reasonable way to find something you would never have clicked on your own.
The Soundtrackpress M
Yes, this site has background music. The speaker icon in the navbar, or M, opens a small panel to control it, background music and sound effects, independently, with a volume slider. It starts quiet on purpose. Autoplay rules mean it only kicks in after your first click or keypress.
Guestbook/guestbook
An actual page for leaving a note. Not a comments section under a post, just a standalone board where you can say whatever you want and like other people's entries. Go sign it.
The Matrix↑↑↓↓←→←→BA
Type the Konami code anywhere on the site, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A. Nothing is announced, nothing prompts you. It just works, if you remember it right.
Keyboard Shortcutsdesktop only

Every nav link on this site has a single-letter shortcut. They only fire when you are not typing in a field and no modifier key is held, so they will not fight your browser.
