One Million Checkboxes

this is....more popular than i expected. the server's gonna be having some problems for a while

> Why

> I don’t really know. The idea came up in a conversation last Friday and I felt compelled to make it.

The best kind of reason :)

So I figured there would be less people fighting down the window, right ? For a while I was alone. It was a boring and meaningless job but it felt peaceful.

Then I met someone who's also checking boxes, 5 seconds top, they are gone. Okay, then I kept scrolling, checking boxes. Then, I don't know why... I scroll back up, just a little bit, just 2 lines of boxes, just to... goddammit there are random unchecked boxes now and I didn't see nobody unchecking them !

There's a ghost unchecking boxes :(.

```

$$('input[type=checkbox]').forEach(elt => elt.click());

```

and got an alert that said "CHILL LOL". fun site

- super satisfying, like a bubble wrap mmo

- global fidget toy

- This is brilliant! The websocket server must be going brrr

(function() { 'use strict';

    function checkAllCheckboxes() {
        var checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');

        checkboxes.forEach(function(checkbox) {
            if (!checkbox.checked) {
                checkbox.checked = true;
            }
        });
    }

    const observer = new MutationObserver((mutations) => {
        checkAllCheckboxes();
    });

    observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });

    checkAllCheckboxes();

Are there any companies hiring where you can still work and not waste 90% of time on meetings and docs?

Probably too many clicks and my mind is just spitting out here instead of just dying in pain in silence :D

Pick your side folks.

Consider breaking this up into 3-deep nested pages, each with 100 options.

function clickTickedCheckboxes() { // Find all checked checkboxes const checkedBoxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]:checked');

  // Iterate through each checked checkbox
  checkedBoxes.forEach((checkbox, index) => {
    // Use setTimeout to add a delay between clicks
    setTimeout(() => {
      // Click the checkbox
      checkbox.click();
      
      // If this is the last checkbox, call the function again after 2 seconds
      if (index === checkedBoxes.length - 1) {
        setTimeout(clickTickedCheckboxes, 2000);
      }
    }, index * 2000); // 2000ms (2 seconds) delay between each click
  });

// Start the process clickTickedCheckboxes();

Why do some checkboxes have colored borders?

The site was loading really slow, and when it loaded, the number of checkboxes checked was greater than 1 million. Maybe there is a sync issue?

That's probably one of these reasons that cross your mind to justify buying new domains. Which is an addiction to some folks (including me)

  for (const input of document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]')) {
    if (!input.checked) {
      input.click();
      await new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, 250));
    }
  }

i saw checked boxes hit almost 800K and then start dropping fast.

i've seen every other checkbox get checked on the entire screen in a second. some great scripting going on and i'm sure a lot insight is being learned by watching the tech stack handle these loads.

i noticed initially log messages were showing one check box change at a time but at some point updated to batching which is great. release and optimize!

async function main(){ let elems = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("#root > div > div.grid > div input")).filter(v=>!v.checked) for(let ee of elems){ await (new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(() => { resolve() }, 500))) ee.click() } }

main()

I would think that over time more boxes are being unchecked, but I also see a lot of people re-checking the unchecked boxes.

Also, I would think the script kiddies would be automatically unchecking most of them by now.

Yet, nearly all (over 900k) remain checked.

    Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName("input")).forEach(e => {e.checked = true})
