Brief but revealing discussion from a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15935568 . It was courteous of tosh to submit the source. For those who dare, the link is https://theannoyingsite.com .

Just a warning: this will make your machine unusable by opening a bunch of pop-ups, download images, and playing annoying audio while flashing the screen.

Or will have no effect if you disable javascript by default as any sane person should do.

DO NOT CLICK OPEN THE REAL WEBSITE. Jeez, I just made that mistake. Omg, that was bad. I can't perfectly describe what happens but I'll try — the page jumps around with a cat image, every time I try to kill it with cmd+w, it repawns into another small window. I think it remaps cmd+w to cmd+p, and just plays dubstep in the background. Oh, and at some point, a random cat headbanging cat appears, and the voices goes fro…

Yeah, my downloads are FULL of cat images.

It's wonderful to see that humanity has so many different definitions of 'sane'. Heterogeneity is beautiful; it makes browsing the internet like walking through a tropical jungle.

Interesting that this entire domain is blocked as malicious by my ad blocker.

what ad blocker do you use ? It seems to be overreaching here as this is definitely not an ad.

By that definition, don't ad blockers overreach these days? (by blocking analytics scripts, etc. too)

It also seems to be on pi-hole’s list of blocked domains that it uses, as I don’t resolve DNS when I try to access it from behind my pi-hole.

Yeah my pi-hole blocked this one too and after reading the comments here I am glad :)

It sounds like a SFW version of the old shock-sites like GNAA NIMP/LastMeasure, which would basically do the same but the content was far more NSFW.

(For... suitably small values of SFW?)
