Little yaps

we built a fake 2016 internet inside a fake chrome browser so you can search "ChatGPT" and watch google have a full crisis about it. google, youtube, twitter, vine, spotify, musical.ly, tumblr, myinstants, coolmath games — everything pixel-accurate, all stuck in 2016, all deeply confused by anything you actually care about.

Built with chatgpt for prompting, claudi (claude-kun) for code gen, and codex when claudi hit her usage limit and abandoned us mid-hackathon.

REAL sites

Google — search results, 2016 UI, confused by modern queries
YouTube — home feed, search, video player, live streams, real 2016 video IDs
Twitter — full feed with verified accounts, trending sidebar, real 2016 avatars
Vine — home + explore, every video has a 6-second countdown. RIP overlay when it runs out.
Spotify — playlists, albums, radio, player, playing "Black Beatles" triggers something
musical.ly — video discovery feed (yes, the tiktok grandparent)
Tumblr — dashboard, posts, tags, all the cringe
MyInstants — soundboard with actual 2016 sounds
Coolmath Games — it's there. we had to.

Easter eggs

there are over 20. here are all of them.

dialup boot screen — 56K modem startup sequence before you can do anything. you deserve this.
harambe watermark — he is always there. 4% opacity. always watching. you will never see him leave.
harambe memorial — search "harambe" anywhere. fullscreen. the quote. 8 seconds. we are not sorry.
harambe confirmation — try to close a tab. he guilt trips you. 8 different messages. none of them let you feel good about it.
chatgpt sike — search "chatgpt." 20 pointing memes cascade onto the screen one by one. "oh brother this guy stinks" plays. he has no idea what's coming.
logan paul — search "japan." fullscreen. audio. 4 seconds. we're moving on.
popup hell — 30% chance per navigation. draggable. every button spawns more. hit the virus warning 5 times and flood mode activates: 20 popups instantly, 5 more every 400ms. you cannot escape.
fidget spinner cursor — your cursor is a fidget spinner. always. click to add spin force. physics and friction simulated. no off switch.
clippy — 5% chance per navigation. he has opinions about what you're doing. nine of them.
google+ notification — 10% chance on google pages. "you have 0 new circles." two buttons. neither of them help.
election poll — search "trump", "hillary", "election", or "clinton." kahoot-style fullscreen poll. 30-second countdown. QR code for live mobile voting via server-sent events. stickmen debate. results announced breaking-news style.
pokemon go overlay — search "pokemon" or trigger it at 4% chance after 4+ navigations. blocks everything. 3D rotating pokéball. generates a random 2016 meme pokémon ("Dabbing Daniel", "Bottle-flippin Harambe", etc) with CP, type, flavor text. requires 50 clicks to catch. you will catch it.
bottle flip — search "bottle flip." 3D physics minigame. on mobile: accelerometer flick. on desktop: webcam detects your hand motion. landing it triggers damn daniel.
damn daniel — fires on every 7th navigation, bottle flip success, PPAP success, or searching "damn daniel." "Damn Daniel, back at it again with the white vans!" slides in from the right. 3.5 seconds.
mannequin challenge — search "mannequin challenge," 3% chance after 5+ navigations, or play "Black Beatles" on spotify. the page freezes. grayscale. REC indicator. 15-second timer (5 on spotify). you wait.
PPAP combiner — search "ppap" or 5% chance after 6+ navigations. pen pineapple apple pen file manager. combine any two items. 2 seconds of dancing emoji. triggers damn daniel with the result.
clash royale — click the clash royale bookmark or search "clash royale." full battle sim. 12 unit types, 2 spells, 6 towers per match, elixir regen, troop AI, pathfinding, 120-second timer. actually playable.
creepy clown — ambient. peeks out from random screen edges every 20-30 seconds. 85% opacity. moves when you hover. you will not notice it until you do.
vine dying — every vine video has a 6-second countdown bar. when it hits zero: "RIP Vine / 2013 — 2016." a loop button appears because it's what vine would've wanted.
intro video — plays on first load. skippable. but why would you.
