Laugh
Sites that do exactly one strange thing extremely well and solve no problem at all. The purest form of the web — somebody built this because it amused them.
19 sites
Chuck banknotes into an open grave with the mouse, accompanied by an unreasonably committed soundtrack.
A chihuahua rotating to a dance track, which was apparently a complete website idea in 2013 and somehow still is.
Drag left and right to slap a man in the face with an eel, at whatever speed the day seems to call for.
A museum of Google easter eggs that Google removed — gravity, the barrel roll, the mirrored search — all restored and working.
An ASCII horse whose legs continue for as long as you are willing to keep scrolling, which is longer than you think.
All 2^122 version-four UUIDs listed in order with a working search box, on a page that should not be able to exist.
A voice shouts COW louder as your cursor gets closer to an invisible cow, and that is the entire game.
One word of reassurance about the Large Hadron Collider, maintained since 2008 and still, reassuringly, saying no.
Answers the question in one word, correctly, in ninety languages, and has done every single day since 2009.
Answers the question with a single word, and has been right every single time anybody has checked.
A ninja, flexing, to a backing track, at a frame rate suggesting nobody involved was trying especially hard.
The pop-tart cat, the rainbow and the song, with a counter for how many seconds of your life you have handed over.
Put your cursor anywhere on the page and it finds a photograph of a person pointing at exactly that spot.
Three colour fields flipping between red, green and blue as you move, a fixture of the useless-web canon and a strobe risk.
A hundred billion dollars and a shopping list running from Big Macs to aircraft carriers, and it is harder to spend than you expect.
One large red button and a clear instruction not to press it. It gets increasingly personal about the fact that you keep pressing it.
Scroll the length of an absurdly elongated shiba inu, with checkpoints and a leaderboard for the truly committed.
Flick the switch on. A small hand reaches out and turns it off again. That is the entire website and it is somehow enough.
A dilemma, a tempting benefit, a horrible catch, and the percentage of everybody else who pressed it regardless.
One button, one detour. Press it as often as you like.
