What makes a website weird
Sometimes, a website looks or feels strange because it does things differently than most websites. Here are some things you might see on a weird website:Different Stuff - It has things like funny moving pictures, talks about unusual things, or has silly games.
Looks Funny - The way it's set up and the colors it uses might be odd. The buttons to click might be in strange places, or it might have weird pictures that don't look like anything real.
Doesn't Make Sense - You might not understand what the website is for or if it's useful for anything.
Weird Things to Do - It might ask you to do silly things, like drag things around for no reason or scroll down forever.
Funny or Silly - It might have jokes or things that are meant to be confusing in a funny way.
For Very Few People - It might be about something that only a small group of people are interested in, and most people would think it's strange.
Even though weird websites aren't for everyone, the ideas they use can help you make your own website special. Since there are so many websites, doing something different can help people remember yours.
1 Falling Falling
Falling Falling is a weird website with oddly relaxing visuals. The walls of colors collapse one after the other, changing shades as they approach the bottom of the computer screen. An unsettling sound also plays when you click on the page.
2. Endless Horse
This weird website features an image of a horse with never-ending legs as long as you dare to scroll down. There are no links, credits, share buttons, or anything that gives context to the website’s purpose. All it does is tempt you to test just how long the horse’s legs are.
3. Hacker Typer
This website lets you type anything on your keyboard, turning your keystrokes into what looks like complex code on the screen. It really makes you feel like a computer whiz.
4. Bees, Bees, Bees, Bees
This strange website bombards visitors with a GIF of Oprah Winfrey cheering and shouting while a swarm of bees flies around her studio. This website doesn’t do much else, making it one of the most random and bizarre experiences you’ll find online.
5. Cornify
Add some unexpected magic to your internet browsing experience with Cornify, which lets users add rainbows and unicorns to any web page. It’s a great way to prank friends or add a bit of whimsy to your day.
6. The Long Doge Challenge
Here’s another funny website that challenges your scrolling skills. An image of the famous Doge meme greets you when accessing the site. Scroll down to collect the WOW catchphrase and see if you can beat our record!
7. Ever Dream This Man?
Ever Dream This Man? has an unusual goal: to spread awareness of an internet myth that has been appearing in people’s dreams since 2006. The site dives into the history and theories behind this strange phenomenon and even showcases some fan art.
8. Zoomquilt
Zoomquilt brings back the mesmerizing effect of the classic Windows 3D Maze screensaver. It continuously zooms into the center of the page, revealing fantasy-like scenes within scenes.
9. The Pug In A Rug
This strange yet funny site is for those who open dozens or hundreds of browser tabs and never close them. Try opening it in the background and aim for the highest rank you can achieve – we managed to reach the Acolyte of Pug rank.
10. Zombie Passions
Zombie Passions is a dating and social networking site for zombie fans. While the website’s structure is relatively normal, it earns its spot on this list due to its unique niche and target audience.
11. Procatinator
If you love cats and music, Procatinator is the weird website for you. This site brings together random cat videos and perfectly matched songs, giving you an endless stream of cat-themed entertainment.
12. Nyan Cat
Revisit one of the internet’s most iconic memes, the Nyan Cat. The site features an endless loop of the famous Nyan Cat animation, complete with its catchy tune. The simplicity of the concept and the nostalgic appeal make it a favorite among fans of weird websites.
13. r33b.net
This minimalist website pays homage to the iconic Hypnotoad from the TV show Futurama. There are no buttons, navigation, or other interactions – just Hypnotoad in all its glory. It’s the perfect example of a website that does one thing and does it well: a funny tribute to a beloved pop culture icon.
14. Ffffidget
For those who can’t resist clicking things, Ffffidget offers an endless stream of fidget toys that you can virtually click, spin, and swipe. It’s simple yet surprisingly addictive, much like real-life fidget spinners.
15. Mondrian And Me
Mondrian and Me is an interactive website that lets users create their own art in the style of Piet Mondrian. With a mouse click, you can create abstract compositions of lines and primary colors, turning your screen into a modern art canvas.
16. Make Everything OK
Make Everything OK is a one-click solution to life’s problems – or at least, that’s what this website claims. Press a button, and a progress bar will tell you that everything is being made OK. Spoiler alert: Nothing really happens, but that’s part of the fun and absurdity of the site.
17. That’s The Finger
Hover your cursor over the image to give yourself the finger, or send the link to someone else on X as a cheeky message.
18. Is It Christmas?
If you’re wondering whether it’s Christmas Day, there’s a weird website you can visit to check. True to its name, this site says YES only once every 365 days.
19. Koala to the Max
On this site, you’ll see a large circle in the center. As you move your cursor over it, the circle splits into four. The site’s purpose could be to show how division works, but above all, it’s entertaining. Have fun seeing how many circles you can create by going mouse-hover crazy!
20. Cat Bounce
This funny website entertains visitors with pictures of bouncing kittens. You can drag and launch the kittens in different directions or leave them to bounce on their own.
21. Binary Music Player
While many websites have background music or an audio player, Binary Music Player brings a fun twist to adding sounds to your site. Built using JavaScript, this unique website has a binary counter with each column representing a musical note.
22. Find The Invisible Cow
For a fun and strangely addictive experience, visit Find The Invisible Cow. Users must move their cursor around the screen to find an invisible cow.
23. Scream Into the Void
If you’re feeling frustrated and need a place to vent, Scream Into the Void lets you type out your anger and scream it into a digital void. It’s strangely therapeutic, offering a modern twist on stress relief.
24. Tane
Tane features a minimalist interactive experience in which you put the glasses on the figure on the screen. It’s simple and weird, and that’s why it’s made our list.
25. Bury Me With My Money
Bury Me With My Money is a weird website that features an endlessly repeating clip from a retro arcade game. As you click around, a man falls from the top of the screen with money flying around him, repeating the phrase “Bury me with my money.” It’s oddly hypnotic!
26. Draw a Stickman
Draw a Stickman is an interactive storytelling game that starts with you drawing a stickman. From there, you guide your character through various adventures by drawing different objects to solve puzzles. It’s a fun way to spend your time and engage your imagination.
27. Sad Trombone
Sad Trombone is a fun little website that plays the classic sound effect with just a button press. It’s perfect for those times when you or a friend need a good laugh after a disappointing moment.
28. Stellarium Web
Get lost in the stars with Stellarium Web, a weird yet beautiful website that offers a detailed, interactive map of the night sky. It’s like having a planetarium in your browser. Not only are the visuals educational, but they’re also strangely captivating.
29. Paper Toilet
This eccentric website lets bored internet users experience what it’s like to be a cat in a bathroom, pulling at a roll of toilet paper and watching the rest fall into the abyss. But unlike Endless Horse, Paper Toilet has an end.
30. RGB
RGB stands for red, green, and blue. If you hover over each letter, the background will change to the respective color while a robotic voice pronounces the letter out loud. It’s a quirky little website that’s perfect for teaching the RGB color model or just messing with someone!
