#113I bought https://m8.fyi because I wanted a URL shortener to use for my work - it's hard to expect someone to type out " https://datacrayon.com/posts/plotapi/showcase/pokemon-types-... " from a GIF/MP4. I thought it was good at the time, i.e. "Mate, for your information...", e.g. "m8.fyi/something". However... it seems that many people don't recognise "m8.fyi/item" as a URL!
This is fantastic. Thanks for putting a smile on my face today m8

#114Recently I purchased 'jinseo.kim'. It's formatted like . . I love it.
Now you just need to set up your email server so you can be jinseo.kim@jinseo.kim. That's pretty cool. Or for a less professional version, you could anagram it to mik.oesnij@jinseo.kim.

#115Some that I bought:
https://xn--ujdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
https://mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
http://mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Why? They're the widest domains you can get within the character limits. Good for testing UI for bad wrapping with long data. Hacker News handles it pretty well.

#116Tried to buy onlyflans.com for a joke site about egg tarts, the squatter wanted $5k for it which was a bit steep.

#117I had clueserver.com for a while in the 90s, but never did anything with it and it lapsed.

#119I own kubernetees.com, because that's the way my former boss used to say it.
Re: Strange domain names that developers bought
#120There's a popular web comic called questionable content where a running gag of the author is to buy bizarre offensive domain names for his comic: questionablecontent.net boner.moe fart.computer dildo.pizza ass.golf mydickandballs.com dong.zone butt.church sexual.fish unionrobotics.net 69.bingo poop.rodeo boners.lol piss.farm swole.dog burgerking.sex powerful.dog cum.energy qc.bike rectal.dentist questionablecontent.h…
