Internet as an art

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

Thank you!

Edit: I started looking through it and don't have a word for the emotions I feel. I suppose that's what art is about, but it's almost a cognitive dissonance for what I know is real, and an alien world.

It’s the Codex Seraphinianus.

Is this in an actual language?

Codex Seraphinianusoriginally published in 1981, is an illustrated encyclopedia of an imaginary world, created by Italian artist, architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini between 1976 and 1978.[2] It is approximately 360 pages (depending on edition) and written in an imaginary language.[3]
