This one made me cackle uncontrollably... also the timeline of products on their company website is absolutely batshit -- https://www.ryohin-keikaku.jp/eng/about-muji/history/ -- I LOVE 2010's product: the right angle sock

oh yes the right angle sock, it's kind of a big deal, there's a big display and poster promoting it in the store. the 2020 product on the product timeline is the "cricket cracker", which appears to be exactly what it says on the tin...

for some reason all of my profile activity was deleted and while searching for an answer i came across your "some undocumented neocities mechanics" page and this info is so great!

it wouldn't really be "suboptimalism" if it wasn't hosted on a platform with occasional glitches...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the scoring stuff, though it seems like you missed that it applies to all filter options except Newest (which is a hard 100 view minimum) and more recently the non-tag search. I miss being able to find low viewcount sites man

I've had this thought exactly, right down to the music hot take. While my attention span has taken a hit from 5 years ago I can at least manage to read a book continously for an hour if I find it interesting.

the bar is so low at this point that that's probably more than 95% of people can manage now

surprised how receptive everyone online is to the music "hot take", i buried it behind that disclaimer because when i've brought it up to people irl i always get the "omg let people enjoy things" reaction
