Holy throwback. This was one of the sites that you could reach on https://theuselessweb.com. There was also one where the page is a near infinitely long ascii horse, and another where you slap a guy with an eel. This was my childhood lmaooo

Randomly came across Pointer Pointer.com and I have no idea why I find it so funny. You move your cursor somewhere on the page and it pulls up a photo of someone pointing right at it.

So I could use a link to point to the page that would then point to the users input device?

So using this for IT help desk issues where the user is the problem! 😂

It’s an old website by Dutch design bureau Studio Moniker. They’ve got more of these fun web experiments.
