Soranews24 is one of the best websites on the internet! So weird and looks like spam but it's not. This Dododo Land is so weird. Seems like Meow Wolf or Museum of Ice Cream but featuring little things that bother people instead of creative fiction or photo ops.

fta: "'dododo' is the kanji character for 'anger' (怒) written three times in a row".

Do other countries have websites like this covering them?

Is this another one of those weird bot posts I've been hearing about? 3 paragraphs, low-content but apparently interesting, ~50 points new account?

@dang what's HN's position here, I feel like my paranoia is going to ruin the shreds of authenticity that underpinned real engagement on this site. It's a giga-eternal September, and idk how one can moderate this in a way that earns trust and buyin from the humans among us (I swear I'm a human, look no third paragraph).

Of course anything is possible, but I don't think bots typically edit their comments multiple times.

I didn’t think it was a bot, but I think a good rule is when in doubt, just move along. There are times when it’s necessary to verify the authenticity of the things you read, but this is not one of them. Certainly nothing worth getting paranoid about.

My other hangout is cracked.com. Another corner with really niche and weird content.

My guilty pleasure at these tourist trap places is significantly overpaying for their staged portraits. They (often) ask you if you’d like a free portrait, and then will print you up a postage stamp sized picture with a big watermark on it, with the option to pay ¥2000 or (or thereabouts) for a larger print. I don’t know if dododo land does this, but seems like the kind of place that would.

I’ve got one with my family from Pineapple Park in Okinawa that makes me laugh every time I see it. Smartphones make it easy to take a million photos with incredibly good quality, but there’s something about that crappy print with its ridiculous cardboard frame that hits different.
