What happens to really tiny text is a browser-specific implementation detail, I think. Here's what size-1 looks like on my laptop, running the latest version of Chrome. Notice the size=1 "that text size on my device" is completely invisible.
Don't Be Cryptic
I've mentioned elsewhere recently that I'd like to start discouraging anyone from using "size=1" in posts -- or really any text below about size=75. Posting "size=1" or even "size=25" text is very much like posting RLE with no useful labels, or posting screenshots instead of RLE -- it makes other people do an unnecessary amount of work.
It seems reasonable to make the text you're posting actually readable for everyone, or else simply leave it out entirely.

No, it's not completely invisible, and not invisible at all. The text is really just very^5 tiny.

Sometimes spoilers (which is in case the answer is too hard to find) could be hidden (because it shouldn't be normally present) by using size=1 tags.

Technically you're not completely wrong about that -- if I crank up Chrome to maximum zoom, I get this:unname4798 wrote: May 18th, 2025, 1:17 pm No, it's not completely invisible, and not invisible at all. The text is really just very^5 tiny.

Spoilers are a possible somewhat valid use of Stupidly Tiny Text (TM), but there are other options:
Code: Select all
Scroll right for spoiler This might be a less cryptic way of hiding spoilers at full size, so that people can see them when they want to see them.Code: Select all
Scroll down for spoiler

Guys... I'm back...!!
...maybe.
I think I'm no longer interested in inventing new CA, because I have to awful feelings:
1. I have seen everything. Still lifes, oscillators, spaceships, breeders... maybe some rarer, like fillers... Stable, chaotic, explosive, logical rules... There is nothing left to discover. No more possible behaviours, no more possible structure types.
2. Everything has been invented before. Even if I discovered something fun, it's either uninteresting or it was discovered before.
...maybe.

What's that?
Is it something made of something?
