It doesn't look very graphics-intensive, yet runs at about 2FPS on Safari, on my 3.8GHz quad core i5. The site's performance could use an investigation by a software developer.

Sounds like something is off somewhere indeed, because on mobile safari it is running very smoothly for me. Cannot tell the exact FPS, except that it is at least 60 or more.

Anyone know what’s the underling map/tile technology used? I’m on my phone and can’t check

I for one am looking forward to retirement. I am planning on being high all the time, gardening and yelling at children passing by my property. Growing my hair and beard, wearing a bandana and a tie-dyed shirt and paying for my coffee in quarters in a wooden treasure box I carry as a purse. The goal is to liberate the crazy.

All the things you think you would enjoy might not hit the spot at all when you will retire.

Yea. Having a purpose and bonding with other people on the way to achieving it are underrated elements of being working age.
replyIf you're not conscious about it in retirement, it's easy to just do nothing, waste away, and find out many years too late. You actually need different ingredients to feel satisfied.

Children/family = least agency, while buying something = most agency? I must be misunderstanding something big time.

You can’t always control what your children or family do. You are in control of what you buy.

I have 3 kids and they are still young and I barely control how they behave :)
It will be even more terrible later

For a 'happy map' there is a bizarrely puritanical deficit of orgasms. EDIT: oh wait I found one about backrubbing. That's nice I guess.

I played with the map a little bit. I think its cool at the first glance. What is missing is how it necessarily applies to me, user? I can understand that probably what makes people truly happy universally is applicable to me. But probably could use some quick guidance. You say it in your description - story, although this moment is buried in longer description of methodology. I also had to figure out on my own that each individual response is example of what can make me happy. Still, I think this map has potential for more cool features base don this data.
