Let's reinvent the fucking scrollbar, which every goddamn platform with a UI already has, and make it behave subtly different from the native one!

Right-click a native scrollbar in some other app:
- Scroll Here
- Top
- Bottom
- Page Up
- Page Down
- Scroll Up
- Scroll Down

Right-click a scrollbar in Chrome:
- Back
- Forward
- Reload
- Save As...
...

Right-click a scrollbar in Firefox and Opera:
Absolutely fucking nothing happens!

What the fuck!? How did these terminally retarded idiots get involved in creating one of the most important pieces of software to the average user?

Incredible still means unbelievable. Unbelievable still means unbelievable.

You're confusing the figurative connotation of a word with its direct opposite. Something can be literally unbelievable
(space niggers shitting dicks on the moon)
or figuratively unbelievable
(you're so dumb/hot it's hard to believe, but it's not like I don't trust my personal judgment because I don't mean it in a literal sense).

Something can be literally terrible
(Nikita's mom inspires fear even amongst Putin's cabinet)
or figuratively terrible
(This quality I'm judging right now is so deep it almost scares me, but it's nothing serious so I have nothing to be afraid about)

Are you implying the current use of "literally" is somehow a figurative use of the original word? How can something be figuratively literal anyway?
