I'm guessing this is supposed to do something? Expecting the letters to jumble themselves or similar.

Doesn't work for me on either Firefox or Chrome desktop.

Do you have dyslexia? Maybe it's just balancing itself out?

Do you have HTTPS Everywhere enabled? It tries to load jquery over HTTP, which Chrome blocks on the secure version of the page [1]

Data point 2: Works for me.

Do you have any content blockers enabled? Perhaps they're interfering.

Same, works here in latest Chrome. GP is JS running?

It didn't load for me in Firefox. When it didn't load in Chrome either, I noticed that the script was being loaded from an unsafe source, which both Firefox 46 and Chrome seem to block by default.

I like that this post has now become a post where people trying to debug the whole damn link to have more difficulty reading a webpage with letters jumbling around :P.

OK, it's decided to work now.

Very odd. I had first opened it with NoScript; disabled the blocking; nothing. Tried in Chrome (vanilla install); nothing.

Tried a bit later in Chrome: now working.

I used a jQuery from Cloudflare. It might have decided to not load the first time.
Re:Dsxyliea by geon on Thursday March 03, 2016 @01:35PM (#11218848)
Any error messages in your console?
Re:Dsxyliea by stordoff on Thursday March 03, 2016 @01:40PM (#11218883)
It could be a HTTPS error - jquery is loaded over HTTP, so blocked on the secure page.

Replacing

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
with

    <script type="text/javascript" src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
should enable HTTPS as required AFAIK

Thanks. Fixed.

The Disqus.com comments are still blocked on the secure version of the page (disqus.com/embed.js is loaded via HTTP only), but the main functionality works fine now with HTTPS Everywhere enabled.

You are loading things over HTTP instead of HTTPS (Mixed content warning). Change

http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.mi... => //cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js

That is what's happening for me on Chrome 48 for Mac
