    This website does >100 requests and weighs 1.1MB compressed. What a waste of bandwidth and resources.

    People love to scroll. Don't annoy them by using fixed headers: http://zichy.de/public/siufh.html.

    They don't when the page wants to load 8 different external scripts, 5 different tracking beacons, 13 things automatically blocked by uBlock Origin, and then even when you enable all scripts it still just says "Yes they do."

    Theres a great article on UXMyths discussing the myth that users don't scroll: http://uxmyths.com/post/654047943/myth-people-dont-scroll

    Well this was confusing. I wouldn't consider my monitor to be particularly large or high res (Apple 27, 2560 x 1440) and I didn't have to scroll to see the 'Yes they do' message

    there's no need to scroll, all the noscript errors fit on one page.

    It's pretty easy to miss the joke when on a portrait monitor...

    But what about mobile devices that have no visible scroll bars?

    Betteridge's law, despite the cute little thing at the bottom.

    I actually closed the window the first time, because it looked like the site had just failed. Then I suspected a self-referential joke and there it was. So a funny once, otherwise no.
