You can browse the whole web upside down from here…

I cant seem to figure out how this is useful. I’m a mobile web user and there is no need for upside down text, who reads stuff upside down? If I were to hold my phone upside down then it will flip the browser upside down too, or even sideways so its always normal.

Does anyone who browse using a phone that doesn’t flip a website around for you keep it upside down and try to read it upside down? I think they usually just flip back their phone in a way that they can read it.

Hmm … never needed that feature. Text in 45 degree for nice tables would be nice.

Humor is quite a relative thing, and in this case I didn’t get the memo

@TNO: I’m always amazed when people feel the need to nitpick humor.

Wow!

This is going to be fantastic for my mobile text-mode original tabletop Donkey Kong rewrite! I’ve been at 99% for months, and the upside-down score text had stumped me. Get ready for impromptu coffee-shop text-mode tabletop Donkey Kong tournaments!

Umm, isn’t that what SVG is for? Hard to see the practicality for this when you can’t read half the letters when “flipped”
