The Useless Web (theuselessweb.com)
The Useless Web is a directory that sends you to a random useless website with each click. It is the meta-useless website — a website about useless websites. Clicking 'Please' dispatches you to one of hundreds of pointless internet destinations. You will spend more time here than any reasonable person should. This is intended.
Pointer Pointer (pointerpointer.com)
Move your cursor anywhere on the screen. The site finds an image from the internet in which someone or something is pointing at exactly where your cursor is. The database contains thousands of images. The site has no other function. It is a complete solution to a problem that did not exist.
Staggering Beauty (staggeringbeauty.com)
A worm that follows your cursor movements. If you move your mouse quickly enough, the worm experiences a seizure and briefly enters a disturbing alternate reality of flashing lights and sound. The site has no other purpose. It is an experience. Content warning: flashing lights.
Find the Invisible Cow (findtheinvisiblecow.com)
A cow is hidden on the screen. As you move your cursor toward it, a voice gets louder. As you move away, quieter. You are looking for a cow you cannot see. This is the entire website. People have spent substantial time doing this. We understand.
Hacker Typer (hackertyper.net)
Type anything on your keyboard. The screen fills with convincing-looking code. You appear, to any observer, to be an extremely productive programmer. The code means nothing. This website is frequently used to confuse people.
Is It Christmas? (isitchristmas.com)
The site's entire content is either the word 'NO' or the word 'YES' depending on whether it is currently Christmas. On December 25th, it says YES. All other days: NO. The site loads immediately. It answers one question with complete accuracy. That is all.
Nooooooooooooooo.com
Press the button. Hear a voice say 'No' for approximately 10 seconds. The site has existed for many years. It has been visited millions of times. People share it. People play it for others. People play it at moments when it feels appropriate. This is the internet.
Falling Falling (fallingfalling.com)
You fall. Colorful things fall with you. There is music. It does not stop. There is no destination. This is considered a feature.
Patience Is a Virtue (patience.is)
The site presents a loading bar. It loads extremely slowly. The loading bar represents the concept of patience. You may stay as long as you like. Many people do not stay long. This is, apparently, the point.
The Most Dangerous Writing App (themostdangerouswritingapp.com)
This site is included because it is uniquely compelling in its uselessness. If you stop typing for more than 5 seconds, your writing disappears. It is a writing app designed to ensure you never stop writing. It produces frantic, unedited prose at high speed. Writers use it. Therapists probably recommend against it. We recommend it.
