I’m pretty sure it does nothing.
Need a screen saver? Today’s link is really boring, but I got a fit it in somewhere. It’s essentially a kaleidoscope thing that just keeps twirling and twirling. I haven’t found a practical use for it yet.
Granted… this site is completely useless, but it’s probably better than what you’re doing right now.
Honestly, there’s not much to it. It’s a mildly interactive site that features bouncing cats. The “make it rain” unleashes a shower of cats, but other than that, you get what you pay for… and it’s free.
Make it rain Easter egg
Just a reminder, I stopped doing the daily jokes because honestly I think I published all of them. So now we’re doing a “Link of the Day” instead… Or at least a link of the “Weekday”. Some will be more fun than others, but they can’t all be winners.
Honestly it’s breathtaking. Imagine a desktop operating system running on javascript in your browser. You could spend a lot of time fidgeting around with this amazing toy. Press F11 to fully immerse yourself in all its retro vaporwave glory. A true masterpiece.
This is Zombo com. Welcome. You can do anything at Zombo com. Anything at all. The only limit is yourself. Welcome to Zombo com. This is Zombo com and welcome to you who have come to Zombo com. The infinite is possible at Zombo com.
Ok, so including Zombo is a kind of low effort, but some of this is for posterity. I’d love to get a hold of that background samba music they’re playing.
No, really. it’s a generative AI that creates a new face every time you refresh the page. Sometimes the faces can get a bit wonky, and sometimes a background element next to the subject is nothing short of a Lovecraftian nightmare. Not sure what you might use this for, but I use it when I want to build a mockup and need a few faces.
This site got famous a few years ago, because they found a way to keep track of which McDonald’s ice cream machines are currently broken. This can be very helpful if you’re taking your family out for a special treat only to discover that the ice cream machine is down again.
I’m going to strongly advise using an adblocker like uBlock on this one, but you do you, Boo.
Formerly known as Panopticlick, this site hosted by the EFF will test your browser to see just how “trackable” it really is, and will try to educate you on why it matters. Of course in the end, whether or not you decide to take steps to cover your tracks is up to you, but at least you’ll have a better understanding of “how they get you”.
I mean, who hasn’t heard of Kelley Blue Book, right? But still it’s nice to know what your car’s value is, and KBB is a great place to find out. They’ll even give you a cash offer for your car if that’s what you’re interested in. I personally used it (not an ad, just a fan) when I wanted to sell my Nissan Leaf a few years ago. KBB gave me an offer and sent me to a local dealership to verify the car was in said condition, and once the dealer saw it, they countered with even more money! It was a lot more than what I was being offered on a trade in from a different dealer where I bought my new car, so it was a total win!
