Curated stumble button that sends you somewhere good rather than somewhere random, with categories if you are feeling fussy.
NASA ephemeris data, brutal one-line notifications and a design language everyone copied. Astrology delivered entirely deadpan.
Mash any keys and immaculate code appears on screen at speed. Enormously convincing to anyone standing more than a metre away.
Click the cookie, buy grandmas, buy portals, accidentally summon something. The game that turned incrementals into a genre.

The animator who taught the internet to be afraid of cows, with every looping nightmare he has made collected in one place.

German satirical news delivered with a completely straight face, plus a weekly video bulletin, running since 2008.
