Same thing on my mobile Firefox. I actually went back dozen times, thinking to myself "did I really make this many fuck cards?" before realizing what's happening.

If you're gonna hijack the back button for the purpose of your app, folks, at least make it eventually go to the previous page. Don't make it circular.

Thank you, I honestly haven't noticed I was hijacking the back button. I'd like to apologize to everyone for it. I'll fix it ASAP. Thanks for all the good feedback!
No problem.

Sorry that my only comment is a criticism, I guess being a SW engineer turned me oversensitive to bugs/unexpected behavior. Like an allergy caused by overexposure, haha.

Or, in the spirit of the site itself... they can fuck the fuck off. Not sure if it's lazy or hostile but it ensures I won't visit again.

I try my best to not assume malice unless evident beyond reasonable doubt.

Far more evil comes from misunderstanding or just plain old ignorance (not in a deragoratory way - we all learn new things every day). So in practice, it's a useful heuristic.

That's exactly it. Dumb mistake from my Javascript n00b skills. I'll fix it ASAP
