Clients don’t hate better design — they hate sudden change. We evolve identity in tiny steps, so acceptance happens quietly.

You won’t witness rebrands anymore. You’ll simply wake up liking them.

If users notice the rebrand, you failed.


Make choices — see your life in 15 years. Every action today shapes your future.


Once per day, a crime appears for 15 seconds. When you see it, press "Alarm".


I’ve been collecting strange, funny, and completely pointless websites — the kind that used to spread through forums and Tumblr years ago. Most of the old “useless website” collections haven’t been updated in ages, so I built a new one that keeps expanding.

Every click opens a random site — sometimes absurd, sometimes oddly artistic, sometimes just broken in the best way.

Would love to see more submissions or ideas for other weird corners of the web worth adding.


Halloween doesn’t have to wait till the 31st — we can already celebrate together online!

I made a small “Halloween simulator” where everyone joins with their real costume photo and goes trick-or-treating across the internet.

You can visit other people’s “houses”, get them candy, and give candy when they visit you.

Think of it as the world’s first digital neighborhood for Halloween.

So — show your costume, and let’s make today feel spooky already!

It’s a social experiment / game:

1. Everyone follows the same Instagram account.

2. Once it hits 100k followers, we randomly hand over the account to one follower.

3. That person instantly gets an audience of 100,000+ to start their influencer journey.

Let’s see if this actually works. Could be fun if it really reaches 100k! :)


This is a tiny browser game: OPERATION D-DAY.

Most shooters are played as if the player is immortal — you run, respawn, repeat forever. But real battles (like the D-Day landing) often meant a soldier’s story ended in just a few seconds.

So I wondered: what if a war game captured that? One second of chaos. Blink, and it’s over.

Can you survive more than a couple of seconds?

It’s part of my absurd.website project, where I make small experiments that blur the line between games, art, and jokes.


I’ve been making small absurd projects at Absurd.website

This one is Sexy Math — an experiment to make math feel passionate and engaging, instead of dry and boring.

The thought behind it: in school, many students struggle with motivation. What if math came with emotion — even desire? Something that pulls you in, instead of pushing you away.

When I was in high school, I would have loved a program like this. It doesn’t replace teaching, but it reframes math as something that’s playful and attractive.

Curious if others here think such "absurd reframing" can actually help learning, or at least spark curiosity.


I made a small experiment as part of absurd.website , where I publish one absurd project each month.

This one is a timer that doesn’t tell the truth:

One runs 10% faster → your workout ends sooner, meetings feel shorter.

The other runs 10% slower → breaks feel longer, naps stretch out.

It plays with the idea that we often live by the clock, but time isn’t always fair — sometimes it drags, sometimes it flies. So what happens if the clock itself lies?

Would love to hear your thoughts, and whether you think "tricking the clock" changes how you feel about time :)
