   I never understand what the fuck people are talking about when they want a website to expand to full width. You wouldn’t like it if it did that.

     I just like it big. I have a standard sized monitor, and my nose isn't pressed to the screen, its a full arm length away so I can scan with my eyes the entire length of the monitor without moving my head.

     @Salastil I tried to find a plaintext version of the Bible to demonstrate how crazy it is to read text that way, but I couldn’t even find one where they didn’t limit the line length: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/10/pg10.txt

     Even plaintext email clients often have an 80 column limit. Source code, too.

     @Salastil BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. Does it mean you put a giant gap in the middle of the screen between the sidebar and the main content? Or does it mean you stretch the content so unbelievably wide that it becomes illegible?
