This website is inane, juvenile and has no real use. And for all those reasons I love it. Kudos to HN for being a place where I can find things that just bring some silly fun to my life. I remember in the early days of the Interwebs, there was so many sites just like this one. You didn't have to go to FB, IG or some other content mill to find them. Plus, when you did find one, it had the same feeling of excitement as…

I've been trying to find this site that, if I recall correctly, just has a gradient background that I think is animated and it's just an audio file of a man saying "Welcome to the" something-something in different ways. I tried googling it but because it's so nondescript it's hard to find it.

Could it be https://zombo.com/ ?

What's missing is a feature to share your creations.

The back? How do you do the back of your head? Any tips? Wife? I just got out of jail and I'm broke so I bought some uber cheap clippers and have been cutting my own for months now. This from a guy who wouldn't blink at spending $250 on a hair cut before he got locked up lol

$250 on a hair cut before he got locked up lol There are easier ways of getting a cheap hair cut. :) Welcome back!

You had to pay in honeybuns in jail :p

Lost the secret link at the end, though.

What....,

In the original flash version, just before it looped a link appeared to go to another page. You had to be quick to click on it. From memory there wasn't anything on it but a few words. Still, a shame they didn't keep it for the HTML version.

Am I the only one that feels this isn’t front page material for the ycombinator news site?

Considering that it has 800+ upvotes or whatever and the majority of comments are positive... yeah.

Stop complaining about something you voluntary clicked on a public forum. Get with the times :^)

I feel like google adsense or monetization in general was the downfall of all of that early web richness. When the web was first created, everybody got on and just started learning html and making things... because humans are creative. I did the same. I made fun websites with/for my friends.

In those days, everybody who was anybody had its own star trek fansite, where you could download midi files and gifs of rotating 3d klingon logos.

I miss those pixelated, homemade icons!

Now if you want a GIF, you have to pick one from GIPHY, a Facebook owned company.
