Tangential: in the article submitted the other day[0] that interviewed Japanese demoscener 0x4015, he brought up a time-lapse video of half a million people queueing for an event in Tokyo:
> I should also mention Comic Market (Comiket). It’s the world’s largest self-published manga exhibition & sale fair, and about half a million people (back then, quarter-million) visit there. This is a time-lapse video of the queue for the Comiket entrance. It gets demo-ish after 40 seconds and I find it interesting.

It is oddly mesmerizing to watch, indeed[1].
