absurdwebsite
I’ve been building absurd, mostly useless web projects for fun — and I publish one every month at absurd.website.
These are deliberately non-functional, weird, sometimes funny, sometimes philosophical — and usually totally unnecessary.
Some examples:
Sexy Math — solve math problems to reveal erotic images.
Trip to Mars — a real-time simulation that takes 7 months to finish.
Add Luck to Your e-Store — add a waving cat widget to boost your conversion via superstition.
Microtasks for Meatbags — the future: AI gives prompts, humans execute.
Invisible Lingerie — it’s sexy. And invisible.
Artist Death Tracker — art prices spike when artists die. We track that.
Open Celebrity — one open-source face, shared by all. Together we make her famous.
I just enjoy exploring what the web can be when it doesn’t try to be “useful”.
Would love to hear what you think — and absurd ideas are always welcome.
