Instead of visiting r/place to drive traffic to Reddit, try out HumanShader! (humanshader.com)

This website is pretty cool. It's a shader algorithm with the goal of rendering an image pixel by pixel, but it relies entirely on human calculation, with no computers and no calculators. Claim a pixel, and follow the instructions to calculate the Red Green and Blue values of the pixel you have claimed.

All of the pixels have currently been claimed, but they do expire after a while, so just wait around a bit and you might be able to contribute!

that's a really cool idea. would love to see the next version be bigger and longer, though it probably doesn't scale well with the requirement to manually verify that the calculations have been performed by hand.

My pixel expired after I finished it unfortunately. I wish I contributed, it would be cool to make something a little bigger.
