Get the Pingation mug.The act of paginating a web-page, or a web page that has been paginated.
Basically, instead of putting an entire article on a single web page, to paginate is to spread the article across multiple pages. A good example is a news article containing 12 images, but each image is on a single web page, forcing you to click the 'next' button 11 times in order to see all the images.
This practice is often used by websites as a means of click-baiting the viewer; by forcing you to keep loading new pages, you're spending longer on the website - and by extension, viewing more advertisements on the site, which leads to ad revenue.
Unfortunately, this is inconvenient for the end user; particularly if they're browsing on mobile device and the connection is slow, as it greatly increases the amount of time spent waiting for pages to fully-load. It also means more mobile data is used overall as the entire page has to be reloaded each time you click the 'next' button.

My favourite news site introduced pagination to their articles, so I can't be bothered to use it any more.

Get the Pooncation mug.The ideology that reason is a transcendent, universal force that stands above the chaotic physical world. The material universe is seen as a flawed shadow of rational perfection, and the goal of humanity is to conform all existence—society, nature, even emotion—to the dictates of this disembodied rationality.
Panrationalism Example: A city planner who, after a flood, proposes straightening a river because its curves are “irrational and inefficient.” They see the natural, evolved ecosystem as an error to be corrected by geometric and hydraulic reason, imposing an abstract ideal onto physical reality.
