We should make a website that does everything in the opposite way:

1) Require adblock

2) Banner saying the website doesn't use cookies, which goes away if you mouseover

3) If you're on mobile, show a banner saying the website doesn't have an app

4) A signup form, but when you try to focus it, it turns into a banner saying "jk this website doesn't have signup"

I got a good laugh out of this for a few seconds before getting actually frustrated with it. Mostly because my bank does a lot of these terrible things.

i gave up on the second screen...

I didn't, which to me says I've been trained very well by terrible design.

If you manage to actually 'sign up' it tells you are a legend and rewards you with a Dancing Carlton gif[0].

This is incredible. Pleasantly surprised every 2-3 seconds by things I didn't even think of. "Oh, it didn't mean whole email, just the first part" "Hmm tab doesn't work" "Oh, it didn't mean whole domain , just the first part" "Where's .com, oh I see" "Wait 'Next' isn't the big blue button?" "Oh I see, that big red message means my password is good." The 'How can we help' arrow just makes it grow slightly taller. Over…

Two that made me laugh and think were on the last page: Choose images that contain a bow, where the images were of bows (archery), bows (ties), bows (hair ties), and bows (gesture). But then they really got me with the checkboxes for those images. You think they're beneath the images, but they're actually above and the frame was just scrolled down. You don't realize until you get to the bottom row and don't see any c…

I saw that immediately, but it still got me, because I tried to scroll down, thinking the checkboxes were beneath.

Is it possible to get past the verification stage? It just keeps recycling the same images over and over... Maybe I need to drink a verification can to help it along

You have to select every image. Because all of them match for some definition of whatever word you get.

Made it to the end in 03:39. Beat me. (Also, clarification: This was my first try.)

Ok, if you say so. Swings a baseball bat at you

I was at 7min, the last part got me. My thoughts were.. Ok, it probably just means light, so I check a few. Fails. Let me try again... Nope.

Five minutes later... what if it's all. No, it can't be that dumb. Bingo. Wow. It was that dumb.
