Wow those bugs are really something

Are these available as an npm package? Would make for a great April Fools prank

ivape•10h ago

It would be great if he put those around all the ads so we could visually see the infestation.

ycombinatrix•8h ago

The insects are great. Would love if I could burn them like other page elements.

jasoneckert•10h ago

My personal website breaks this each time (jasoneckert.github.io), which is both a letdown and a pleasant surprise.

jshchnz•10h ago

so much traffic... looks like it's working now! https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjasoneckert....

oytis•10h ago

Doesn't work on itself by the way

mercwear•8h ago

It did for me: https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fuckupmy...

Seems to be an easter egg

oytis•15m ago

Looks like it was fixed, was giving me some puppeteer error at the time.

bsenftner•10h ago

Doesn't work at Whitehouse.gov for some reason...

jshchnz•10h ago

Been overwhelmed with traffic, but should be back working! https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwhitehouse.g...

Are we sure this isn't just Trump's usual webdesign?

annoyingnoob•9h ago

Comic Sans does not seem like a joke there, it is somehow fitting.

neogodless•6h ago

Holy crap, I haven't been to that site in a while. What a joke it is now!

Many years ago the agency I worked for was tasked with delivering a new website for a major UK brand. The hipster London marketing agency we had to work alongside pushed so many garish ideas that I ended up creating a jQuery plugin called "disco mode". It set a timer and on every tick would select a random element on the page and apply a random effect. Slowly the UI would disintegrate into a maddening, incoherent mess of clashing colours and animations, and then there was also the plugin I mentioned.

leeoniya•9h ago

remember https://jackrugile.com/jrumble/ ?

JohnTHaller•7h ago

I somehow missed seeing this before and kinda love it.

xp84•1h ago

> and then there was also the plugin I mentioned.

This was brilliant and savage.

AbraKdabra•9h ago

I thought of this the instant I saw the OP, I remember being in school and causing chaos with this, great memories.

yogorenapan•9h ago

Oh wow that brings back memories. I remember playing with this back in my middle school days

johnisgood•8h ago

Yes, I remember using it, call for my dad while I was hiding in my room, he could see that I broke my monitor. :D

gr33nq•2h ago

Wow I just had a faint memory of this the other week! In particular, one of the stamps is a rabbit that I had the faintest memory of. Just did some digging and turns out it was from here: http://www.gemtree.com/

kevinwuhoo•9h ago

This reminds me of the Katamari Hack back in the day when bookmarklets were more popular. Surprised that it's still fully functional including the music considering it was released in 2011!

Unfortunately only on HTTP sites since the assets aren't served over HTTPS. Though thankfully it's easy enough to grab the resources and re-host them behind HTTP.

And, of course, you can test it out on that website since it's served over HTTP.

Barbing•7h ago

Incredible. Plays music and generates a snowball that absorbs page contents as one touches/clicks around a webpage.

alex1138•9h ago

It's called "Myspace"

ChrisMarshallNY•9h ago

That's a lot of fun!

MonkeyClub•9h ago

Seems to be unable to mess itself up:

https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fuckupmy...

Don't know whether this is failure or resilience.

crazygringo•5h ago

Yes it does. I followed your link and got a big "YOU BROKE THE MATRIX!" Easter egg message...

hatmanstack•9h ago

Every AI project if the breaks aren't pumped on the regular. Creator's inspiration?

jshchnz•8h ago

probably unsurprisingly, everything on this site was 100% vibe coded

tonymet•9h ago

funny, when I loaded Ticketmaster, nothing happened...

jshchnz•9h ago

ugh yeah, seems like they have some over the top security stuff to prevent this. saw this with a lot of financial sites too. probably ways around it but probably not worth the time for a fun project like this :)

ycombinatrix•8h ago

This project seems to be using Chrome to load the pages through Puppeteer.

Ticketmaster can easily check `if(navigator.webdriver)` before loading the page. I don't think that can be fixed without recompiling the browser. thank you Google, very cool.

EDIT: actually, the following flag might work?

--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled

mensetmanusman•7h ago

Sounds like a job for an AI layer

docsaintly•8h ago

I wish fewer sites would resort to 4 letter words in their titles to grab attention. These days, a title like this makes me assume the product itself is not interesting enough for me to look at.

ycombinatrix•8h ago

to be fair, it is a funny meme website, not a product.

to me, it's giving "just fuck me up" vibes https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-barber

docsaintly•8h ago

I get the draw, and it's amusing, and it works; but I come here for tech topics - not clickbait. It's always nice to see the -1's to remind me that I'm barely a fit for this site! :D

mercwear•8h ago

Ohhh yeaaaa https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fuckupmy...

nalinidash•4h ago

They understand their audience

ayushrodrigues•8h ago

This is the most fun I've had on the internet in a long time.

travisgriggs•8h ago

This made my day. First time I've ever enjoyed checking out what's on FoxNews:

https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews....

squeedles•7h ago

Reminds me of xroach back in the day. First time I moved a window and they ran around I nearly plotzed.

Arch-TK•7h ago

This is like a lightweight version of netdisaster.com

burnt-resistor•7h ago

Hahaha. :D

I remember in the 90's-00's there was Windows desktop software toy that did similar to this with options for missiles, fire, etc.

Examples:

Stress Reducers (2000)

Monty Python's Looney Bin (1998) (I could be wrong)

Dilbert's Desktop Games (1997)

Kholin•6h ago

Not working for my site, which deployed Anubis.

CommenterPerson•6h ago

I LOVE IT!

https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews....

PS: after posting the link I saw at least one other comment did this, so the feeling seems widespread.

TehCorwiz•6h ago

I like that they handle the recursive case.

zduoduo•6h ago

我的天又恶心又恐怖

superkuh•6h ago

Back in the 90s/early-2000s there were browser add-ons where people could collaboratively do this as an overlay to any website. Kind of like stumbleupon 10 years early but you just shot/exploded/disintegrated, etc the html elements of the site and typed comments to each other.

jdkdbrnrnrb•6h ago

The bugs remind me of "A Scanner Darkly"

subdev•5h ago

how many passwords did you collect so far?

tamimio•5h ago

I guess it’s not working anymore? I had an error

thangngoc89•5h ago

That's part of the experience. I guess?

georgemcbay•5h ago

Chrome flags it as a dangerous site and blocks it by default for me.

jshchnz•5h ago

ugh yeah this just happened, chrome marked it as "unsafe", I assume because I have a feature that is supposed to simulate popup ads

i requested a review from them, but no idea when that will actually be lifted

georgemcbay•5h ago

I doubt the review will succeed, mimicking other sites is explicitly one of the criteria they mark unsafe for.

Like I know this is just a joke site not meant to trick people, but it still runs afoul of google's unsafe website criteria by being a site whose sole purpose is being a MITM.

jshchnz•5h ago

yeah i kind of doubt it too, but i'm hoping they have some review process for parody. it's a bummer it didn't even get a day of life :(

georgemcbay•4h ago

it might help to have an obvious/thick window decoration around the pane of the site you are cloning, similar to the large header archive.is shows to make it more clear you aren't trying to fool anyone.

Though with a google review who knows if a human will ever even see your appeal...?

Cadwhisker•5h ago

Switching the font on apple.com to Comic Sans is a nice touch.

dcow•4h ago

I actually kinda like HN in comic sans with bugs crawling around the screen. It’s cute.

herpderperator•4h ago

Reminds me of Dragon Drop... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCu1G2rxj5c

peterkelly•4h ago

I thought vibe coding tools did this already

twapi•3h ago

Chrome blocking this site, marked as "Dangerous site".

ddeck•3h ago

Firefox via "Google Safe Browsing" also:

>Firefox blocked this page because it may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing personal information like passwords or credit cards.

>Advisory provided by Google Safe Browsing.

jshchnz•3h ago

unfortunately google marked it as "unsafe", I assume because I have a feature that is supposed to simulate popup ads

i've requested a review from them, but no idea when that will actually be lifted :(

rezonant•2h ago

No no, I assume it's because it impersonates Hacker News, a popular website. The Details even says this: it thinks you are trying to phish for hackernews sign ins.

Probably not much you can do about it

going_north•1h ago

I clicked through all of the Chrome and Google warnings, but now even my national ISP has blocked the site.

keepamovin•3h ago

Lol - the fact that chrome and safari both mark this site as "Dangerous" is even better. When HN is destructing under fire and insects, chrome is showing a big red "Dangerous" in the address bar. Hilarious

n2d4•3h ago

For anyone curious, it's not actually dangerous and you can safely click it. You'll immediately see why it'd think it's dangerous, though.

nurettin•2h ago

I wanted to show this to a kid, but it sounds too vulgar.

jithinraj•1h ago

Does the job well!

Aissen•31m ago

Google safebrowsing blocked it, so it does not work in Firefox anymore (and any other browser); after ignoring the warning, it's clear that there are ample warnings on the website itself about this being a parody, not to enter sensitive information, etc. I reported it as "not deceptive".
