I feel like I'm missing at least 2 things to do.

...select all, copy, paste: found them.

Swept doesn't appear on reloading until you sweep some more.

I assume there's no way to get more regrets?

You can always get more regrets. Try kicking a well-intentioned squirrel!

Oh... you probably mean in the game.

I think I probably got all the things. But I used my webdev skills to cheat and see the hidden `divs`.

I like it!

As far as I recall, the person who made cookie clicker basically intended it as a parody, a mockery of how dumb the entire concept of idle games were. And yet it became one of the kings of the "genre", with people willingly pouring ours into grinding and re-grinding their way through it. I think I saw/heard this from a video on the "people make games" channel?

if you go to another tab or something and come back a few hours later the "Second Wasted" increase at the rate of about 20/s until it catches up.

@Rabscuttle: No, you can only lose regrets. Otherwise why would you play an idle game?

@ErikH2000: All is fair in idle games. Using my hacky dev skills is how I usually cut short the fixation when I start to feel I waste too much time on an idler.

@Xindaris: I think I heard that before too. It might've been intended as a satire, but it turns out a lot of humans just like watching numbers grow!

@Rabscuttle: Yup, sounds about right. The timer is set to 50ms and it only updates one second per timer's tick. With this ingenious game you can find many ways to make the numbers grow!

What I recall is that the creator of Cookie Clicker was originally inspired by Candy Box, where the idle game portion was basically a facade and after interacting with it for a while you'd find an actual game in there which had much more to do. I don't remember a lot of details beyond that.

Definitely has origins in or near parody, though.
