I feel like I'm being mocked for having a widescreen monitor.

It's a CSS bug since the column gets narrower the wider your screen gets lol. The culprit is the 15% padding in the inline style applied to this div:

   <div class="container my-auto" style="color: white; padding-left: 15%; padding-right: 15%; text-align: left;">
I'm on phone and it is also pretty unpleasant to read.
Scroll scroll scroll yeah fuck this
It's just really bad CSS. On smaller screens, the container has a max-width of 540px and a left- and right-margin of 15% each lol. So we get to enjoy our 22px monospace Inconsolata within 378px of horizontal space.
This comment lead to what I believe is my first laugh-out-loud reaction to maximizing a window.
Obviously you’re supposed to pivot it to portrait orientation.
document.querySelector(".my-auto").setAttribute("style", "text-align: left;");

I'm actually having fun reading it after applying that.

Daring fireball is almost as bad.
nah, just rotate your monitor 90 degrees (or 270).
