Put Words Between Buns

Ian Bogost appealed to the world to put more words between buns. So he made a thing where you just type and the words appear (recognises return, backspace). Lots of people then put words between buns (also on Facebook).
Needs a Big Mac option so I can have a bun between words between buns

“Um...where are your hands right now?”
“They’re wedged between two pillows, why?”

I was thinking there should be either a chuck tingle or a seymour butts connection there somehow.

AskMe: Can I eat these words I put between buns then left on the counter overnight?

I just wanna know how he made this, since I'm trying to find examples of cute code projects - I'm having a hard time looking at the Developer Tools and understanding what he did, besides using JQuery.

It's against regulations for Subway to sell just the bun.

It looks like most of the relevant parts are in `bun.js`, Yueliang.

Looks like most of it is a combination of `renderBun()`, `renderImage()`, and that hatchShow jQuery function to loop over the inner-blocks to decide when to wrap & when to resize the font-size

Ian Bogost continually impresses me. If someone had told me I could get tenure mostly through creative and interesting shitposting I would have finished my PhD.

Mac Firefox users beware, hitting the "delete" key goes back a page. Option+delete works fine.

I literally just finished sending out a proof for a job where I essentially made a burger with the text for Backstage Passes. I'm glad to see this now, I wasn't going for burger when I made it, but it worked out that way and if I rounded the corners some more, I could go full burgin' on the design.

You could at least have the courtesy to put a Chino and Daddy Gee warning on that first link.
