Five Totally Useless and Bizarre Site Picks
It’s newsletter-writing day, and old EB has not come up with any unusual websites for me to feature; she is slacking off! TC has become overly fussy and minimalistic, and hasn’t found any exciting freeware picks this week. So today, we’ve randomly picked five crazy, unusual, and utterly useless websites you can visit for a fun and bizarre online experience:
Endless Horse
https://secure.endless.horse/
This site features a drawing of a horse with legs that extend endlessly as you scroll down, offering a strangely meditative scrolling challenge that will make you question the nature of infinity. Or else your own sanity.
Eel Slap
http://eelslap.com/
Ever wanted to see someone get slapped by an eel? On this interactive site, moving your mouse lets you watch a man get digitally slapped by an eel in real time, and it’s oddly satisfying.
The Useless Web
https://theuselessweb.com/
Click a button and you’re sent to a random, bizarre website each time. It’s the perfect destination for internet users interested in discovering the truly pointless corners of the web.
Zombo.com
https://zombo.com/
A true classic in internet absurdity, Zombo.com greets visitors with a booming voice saying, “Welcome to Zombo.com. You can do anything at Zombo.com.” But in reality, the only thing you can do is listen to the endlessly looping welcome.?
Pointer Pointer
https://pointerpointer.com/
This website shows a photo of someone pointing directly at wherever you wiggle your mouse pointer on the screen. The experience is simple, strange, and weirdly entertaining. No? Maybe you’re not weird enough!
These sites were randomly selected out of boredom and necessity to find a “site pick”. Some stand out for their quirky ideas, bizarre sense of humor, and total uselessness. But they all do one thing – provide a glimpse into the creative and bizarre possibilities of the internet.
How much time did you waste on these odd, fun, and utterly useless websites?
Hey, we had fun, didn’t we?
Do you know anything about a program called
Incogni? It is touted as removing your info automatically from data bases and websites. I’ve had it recommended to me twice in as many weeks. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated. Love both of you and hope you have time to give me some o sight into this program.
Not sure what Ingoni has to do with this article but yes I’ve heard of it It’s expensive and over-rated. You cannot ever erase all the details about you online no matter how much you pay. You can actually request remoal from any site that publishes personal data about you – you don’t need to pay anyone to do that. Trouble is, Incogni assumes that everyone – every site follows the law – that every site will immediately remove personal data wobut you as soon when requested…. but not every site is honest, not every site is located in countries with such a law, and nothing prevents the sites from which your data was removed from re-posting your personal data it obtains later on. It’s like trying to empy a bucket under Niagara Falls – you can empty the bucket, but it will just fill up again.
If you don’t want your personal info on the web, don’t put it there in the first place – which is almost impossible
While Incogni sounds good, it’s expensive and makes promises it can’t possibly keep. Is it a scam? No. Is it worth the money? No.
