Pointless websites

Somewhere in the history of the web, someone decided that a page did not need a purpose. These pointless websites are the result: single-joke, no-signup, entirely committed pages that do one thing and then stop.

Eel Slap is exactly what it sounds like. Cat Bounce lets you launch cats around your screen, and the harder you throw, the more they cry. Endless Horse grows a longer horse the further you scroll, though it only works over plain HTTP, so use the address on its profile. Pointer Pointer matches your cursor with a photograph of a stranger pointing at it. Bouncing DVD Logo asks only that you wait for the perfect corner hit.

Why do they work? Because a good useless site is a tiny act of craft. Someone cared enough to make the cats bounce right. The joke lands in thirty seconds, and then you send the link to someone you like.

This is the brand's front door, so we are strict: the site has to load, the gag has to land, and it should not be trying to sell you anything. Many are desktop-only, and a few have content notes, which we show on the card.

When you are ready for more, the full useless websites list goes deeper, and Odd Sites to Waste 5 Minutes is for people on a clock. Prefer chaos? Take me somewhere odd.
