Got introduced to https://beesbeesbeesbees.com/ in another thread, do you have any silly links to share?
The Orb Must Grow
I’ve wasted so many hours playing there.

I put it in my homescreen, very useful.

Once upon a time, there was a site called StumbleUpon which was a glorified search engine, except you basically only picked a category/topic and their service would redirect you to some random page on the net that was under the category.
The site went down eventually and they took off their extension. They eventually turned into Mix, but now you can actually still find StumbleUpon out there. They’ve closed off their actual capability for some reason.
The closest thing we have now maybe that doesn’t exactly match but for giggles, is the useless web:
This one is also kinda cool for those that are interested:
Not really a website with custom domain, but Anuken’s Personal Website is kinda funny, even more so when you realize this cat is the developer of the famous open-source game Mindustry
I know hating ai is the style of the times, but I love watching them do things like this. Honestly, ai as a goofy little toy would be so much better.
Amazing!
I’ve actually used HTTP cats at work. You can call it inside your own error messages with
https://http.cat/[status_code]Saving this.
They even have my favorite: https://http.cat/418
405 and 431 get me giggling! So many more to love.
Haha 405 really dates lolcats, eh?
https://bosshobbies.neocities.org/ I made a website to help score Beyblade X games, and turned it into a watchapp for the Pebble watchapp https://apps.rebble.io/en_US/application/68efa55f5bf09a0009eac172
I absolutely love nieche hobby things like this!
http://www.staggeringbeauty.com/ is an oldie but a goodie
This is a masterpiece.
I just get a dead website.
Same. I checked on PC and developed epilepsy at 38. Great website.
Like, did you actually get a site…?
I did. It was silly and flashy.
Oh… this seizure of a site. Good thing I turned bluetooth off so I wouldn’t throw my headphones at the wall.
I nearly dropped my phone you a-hole 🤪
Wow
Oh man, I miss that brief moment when people who had sites like this were cool and interesting. There was so much more life in the internet.
I mean, I still consider this page cool. It seems to have originated in 2016, and IMO it’s not quite the 90s ‘dancing baby’ design or Myspace, but instead has a definite whiff of Tumblr art circa early-mid 2010s. I liked psychedelic-ish Tumblr art, it gave a whimsical perspective on life.
Doesn’t wirk on mobile, I’m afraid.
Damn, Zombocom. I remember taking a Photoshop class in highschool, probably 2004 or so, and we were able to sync up all like 35 computers to play Zombocom at the same time. It was a really wonderful thing to hear, Zombocom in 70.0, crappy computer speaker quality.
The thing that people wouldn’t get today is that zombocom was a spoof site of other stuff that was out there that was actually kind of like this. People - usually someone trying to ride the emerging .com wave - would barf up these incomplete early web sites with promises that absolutely would never be delivered.
It was truly a time where anything was possible.
Would the modern version of this be a parody AI? Because honestly between this and AI there’s quite a parallel.

Damn, that button is almost as old as me.
