Please consider making a website just for fun about a topic you're interested in or your hobby or whatever. The domains you can get these days are so unhinged. (I own puppies dot beer and someday I'll figure out what to do with it). Not a side hustle. Not a portfolio. Just a website. (I'm not saying don't make some extra cash or show off your skills. But ditch the pressure that everything has to be professional. ) As a person who got into this business way back in the day because I thought websites were cool, I've found it healing. (Oh, I should say the actual ridiculous project is chicken.pics) A tiny way to fight back against the financialized multisided marketplace platform AI all the things and put some humanity back online. And if you do have a fun website, put that URL in the comments.

When I travel I take photos of “ridiculous lions” because no matter where you are there’s bound to be a statue of a lion and it’s going to look ridiculous. Clearly some sculptors never saw a lion before so they look like a seal or shrek or a dog. Maybe I should make a website with just my collection of ridiculous lion photos

I have an Instagram page dedicated to abandoned trolleys. Might make it a website, just for the giggles

I don’t have a url for this, but I did want to make a dating site of socks without a mate and have people make their own witty profile to accompany their sock photo

Oh no, I’ll do the asking around here.

This is low key a really amazing idea because it suggests a return to the “old” internet before everything became consolidated down to the 4 or 6 websites visited by everyone

For the chicken pics collection: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iiPnPzGwUX5suTez6 This is a link to pictures of chickens on our farm. We raise them mostly for eggs but have also started meat birds.

100% in that vibe. Also, encouraging people to actually create a website with just that: text, images in a folder on a server; no platforms ✨
