Why this is a terrible website

But, for real though, was this website made before CSS became a thing?

There's no stylesheet or CSS on it, that's raw html. My guess is it's intentional, or being hyper engineer-brained, the author doesn't see styling the article as necessary.

I always take the time to write, at the very least, a basic stylesheet. A margin could really improve the article, at least in my opinion.

    There's zero CSS. You're looking at blank html.

    They could've at least used a margin so the text wasn't squished against the edge of the screen.

      You don't need a CSS file. Just add a style property to the body tag and give it a margin.

        Yeah, but in the situation it would work, if you just want a margin on your body.

        It isn't squished, there's at least 8px

        Ah, yes, a whole eight pixels, that's a loooooot of pixels...

        its is infinitely times more than 0

        Technically it's undefined times more than zero, because in order to get how many times larger so'm is: you need to be able to divide the larger number by the smaller number, and dividing by zero is impossible, and will return undefined.

        You can check this by adding zero over and over; you'll never reach eight because zero plus zero is always equal to zero. Even infinity is not enough, because any number that is multiplied by zero returns zero — even infinity.

        division by zero z/0 for z in C*!=0 in the extended complex plane C-* is defined to be a quantity known as complex infinity. This definition expresses the fact that, for z!=0, lim_(w->0)z/w=infty (i.e., complex infinity)

        Also

        if you use differential mathematics, you see that the limit of 1/x approaches infinity as x approaches 0

        so excuse me if I don't "check this" by adding things together.

        My calculator can't do none of that shit, so I'll just pretend it doesn't exist.
