The useless web

Published January 14, 2017

Why would someone wish to visit a useless website? Perhaps when one has nothing to do is the perfect time to visit The Useless Web — a site with a collection of literally useless websites from around the world. Yes, this is really a website!

The homepage is from where you jump to other websites, with the words, “Take me to another useless website, please,” and as you press the giant button, a new page opens which is basically another funny or just pointless site taken from the vast collection. The irony is that although these websites are pointless, you’ll enjoy some of them with their cool or funny animations.

For instance, when I first pressed the button, the website that opened was Heeeee, hoooo...! No one can guess what the site was about, I couldn’t too. I then pressed the button again, the next site that opened was of colourful pages falling down continuously. On one site, as I moved the curser, yellow ducks made a trail. Then a puppy licked the monitor screen, thus, my curiosity pushed me to continue pressing the button to see what else was there to ‘entertain’ or ‘waste’ my time!’. I found bouncing cats and sheep jumping over the hedge which finally made me yawn...

There is no point in these sites, it’s only interesting if the visitor is free and has nothing better to do! There is just so much that pops out every time one presses the button ‘Take me to another useless website, please,”.... So whether you want to kill your time or want to be amused The uselssweb will make you laugh, at http://www.theuselessweb.com/
