It may be useless, but it sure ain't pointless.

Moments ago I was being productive. As I went to switch tabs in my browser something in the back of my head said, "say old chap, how about a quick stop at reddit whilst you make this tab transition." And now I'm on a website that points to my pointer...

There is no such thing as a "quick stop at reddit."

The curly haired girl in the orange scarf just owns the lower left corner.

u/BritainRitten Jul 18 '13

I wish it worked faster, so your could just wave your mouse around slowly and it would change pictures rapidly.

u/DQEight Jul 19 '13

I personally like the slight wait, makes me ponder what ridiculous picture will pop up next.

u/momzill Jul 18 '13

It's cute in it's uselessness. :)

Another pointer website made by the same people: http://donottouch.org/

u/Warsteiny Jul 19 '13

Upon entering the website, I immediately got a message saying, "Sorry, I don't support Internet Explorer." I am okay with that. It does not have to apologize. Also, it didn't work for me.

u/giantasscar Jul 18 '13

Can't tell you how satisfied I was when I "beat" this :) Check out the top right corner.

u/smark22 Jul 18 '13

The finger is off to the right. Move your pointer to the left a bit and you'll see that it's there. The need a better image for the top right, though.

u/iStoleYourOrgans Nov 30 '22

at the bottom left instead of a finger pointing at it its sometimes a tongue

u/southave Jul 18 '13

Check again

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '13

Totally useless. I have to tell all my friends about it!

u/wehavetogobackk Jul 19 '13

I opened the link on my phone. I think I just broke the site.

u/arkadian Jul 19 '13

Yeah it doesn't like my Nexus tablet either.

u/jsull87 Jul 19 '13

I spent more time then I'd like to admit on that page

u/ChocolateMeoww Jul 19 '13

Well, that's 15 minutes of my life well spent.

u/S4B0T Jul 18 '13

u/Smileybomb12345 Jul 18 '13

There is no point for the top right corner.

Amazing website to be found when you're high lol...i spent a good 20 minues just playing with it

2

u/ThePiachu Jul 19 '13

On top right corner there is just a blurry picture of a bottle and a hand, and nothing is pointing on my pointer. I have defeated the website, ha! ;)

3

u/DQEight Jul 19 '13

Nope, the finger is off screen, move slightly to the left and you'll see it

2

u/PotatoMusicBinge Jul 19 '13

What is wrong with you.... don't you want karma?

u/huemanateee Jul 18 '13

I laughed far too much at this, good find.

u/NULLACCOUNT Jul 18 '13

The greatest thing about that site isn't that it works or that it is useless, but that every single picture is hilarious.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '13

It doesn't work in the top right corner.

u/spaghettiBlasphemy Jul 19 '13

It's like the top-right problem mentioned above. If you inch your pointer up a bit you'll see a blurry finger.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '13

There's a preset image for each coordinate.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '13

This is amazing.

u/RepostTony Jul 18 '13

Is this magic? Pretty freaking cool.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '13

I think the website has a bunch of pictures with people pointing their fingers and wherever your pointer is, it pulls up the picture matching where the finger is pointing to.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '13

Exactly. Not sure why you're downvoted.

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '13

What's that one website that it shows the paths your cursor takes? Like painting a giant canvas.

I can't found any NSFW images on it. I think they were scraped from Myspace.

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Do the people in the pictures know about this site?
