You will check your monitor first
That is the reaction, every time. The page leans about a degree and a half and nothing else changes, so your brain blames the screen, the desk, your neck, and only then the page. It is a small joke that lands because it is small.
The slider above goes well past what search does, in both directions, which search will not do. Askew only ever leans one way.
Askew and tilt are the same thing
Two words, one rotation. Google askew, google tilt, tilt google, the askew trick, all identical. It arrived in 2011 with the other rotation jokes and it was cheap enough to keep, so unlike the seasonal stuff it never got switched off.
The loud one from the same batch is do a barrel roll, which spins and lands upright. This one leans and stays there.
Askew gravity
People ask for the combination often enough that it is worth having. Tilt the page, then let go of the floor, and everything slides off the slope into the low corner. It is a mash-up of this and google gravity rather than anything search ever shipped.
