Fuck up my site – Turn any website into beautiful chaos

Many years ago the agency I worked for was tasked with delivering a new website for a major UK brand. The hipster London marketing agency we had to work alongside pushed so many garish ideas that I ended up creating a jQuery plugin called "disco mode". It set a timer and on every tick would select a random element on the page and apply a random effect. Slowly the UI would disintegrate into a maddening, incoherent mess of clashing colours and animations, and then there was also the plugin I mentioned.
remember https://jackrugile.com/jrumble/ ?
I somehow missed seeing this before and kinda love it.

This was brilliant and savage.

Sounds like Nathan barley.

We were all self-facilitating media nodes back then.
You've just reminded me NTK was a thing.
Google safebrowsing blocked it, so it does not work in Firefox anymore (and any other browser); after ignoring the warning, it's clear that there are ample warnings on the website itself about this being a parody, not to enter sensitive information, etc. I reported it as "not deceptive".
It's got an OpenDNS block now - https://phish.opendns.com/main?url=www.fuckupmysite.com

Has two IPs in 'free' DNS which were giving a Vercel 'deployment gone' message moments ago.

I also reported it safe, as it is still there hours later. There is apparently no way to turn off the use of safe browsing in Firefox for Android, which is disconcerting. So I blocked safebrowsing.googleapis.com. After that, clearing the app's cache did the trick for me.
I kind of hate that this is even possible. People should be able to bypass something like this on their own accord if they so choose.

You can. The link to "ignore the risks and proceed" is inside the paragraph and not a button at the bottom.
Yep, Safari blocked it as well.
This reminds me of the Katamari Hack back in the day when bookmarklets were more popular. Surprised that it's still fully functional including the music considering it was released in 2011!

[1]: http://kathack.com/

Incredible. Plays music and generates a snowball that absorbs page contents as one touches/clicks around a webpage.
Unfortunately only on HTTP sites since the assets aren't served over HTTPS. Though thankfully it's easy enough to grab the resources and re-host them behind HTTP.

And, of course, you can test it out on that website since it's served over HTTP.

Reminds me of Desktop Destroyer! https://www.gamenora.com/game/desktop-destroyer/
Wow I just had a faint memory of this the other week! In particular, one of the stamps is a rabbit that I had the faintest memory of. Just did some digging and turns out it was from here: http://www.gemtree.com/

There's a Mac version too! https://simonbs.gumroad.com/l/smashsmash
Yes, I remember using it, call for my dad while I was hiding in my room, he could see that I broke my monitor. :D
I thought of this the instant I saw the OP, I remember being in school and causing chaos with this, great memories.
I remember that. Someone hid the exe deep in my highschool's shared drive and renamed it "anti_stress.exe".
Oh wow that brings back memories. I remember playing with this back in my middle school days
Here’s a short video, if you’re being unable to open it due to the Safe Browsing setting.

Chrome blocking this site, marked as "Dangerous site".

Firefox via "Google Safe Browsing" also:

>Firefox blocked this page because it may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing personal information like passwords or credit cards.

>Advisory provided by Google Safe Browsing.

unfortunately google marked it as "unsafe", I assume because I have a feature that is supposed to simulate popup ads

i've requested a review from them, but no idea when that will actually be lifted :(

No no, I assume it's because it impersonates Hacker News, a popular website. The Details even says this: it thinks you are trying to phish for hackernews sign ins.

Probably not much you can do about it

I clicked through all of the Chrome and Google warnings, but now even my national ISP has blocked the site.

Lol - the fact that chrome and safari both mark this site as "Dangerous" is even better. When HN is destructing under fire and insects, chrome is showing a big red "Dangerous" in the address bar. Hilarious

For anyone curious, it's not actually dangerous and you can safely click it. You'll immediately see why it'd think it's dangerous, though.
Its so effective that after clicking through the warning I get nothing but a black screen on MacOS Safari and Chrome, and the same on Safari on iPhone.
Wow those bugs are really something

Are these available as an npm package? Would make for a great April Fools prank

The insects are great. Would love if I could burn them like other page elements.

It would be great if he put those around all the ads so we could visually see the infestation.

Somewhat similar to https://geocities.live/news.ycombinator.com
It's called "Myspace"
This made my day. First time I've ever enjoyed checking out what's on FoxNews:

I actually kinda like HN in comic sans with bugs crawling around the screen. It’s cute.
Ohhh yeaaaa https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fuckupmy...
They understand their audience
Reminds me of xroach back in the day. First time I moved a window and they ran around I nearly plotzed.
Reminds me of Dragon Drop... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCu1G2rxj5c
Every AI project if the breaks aren't pumped on the regular. Creator's inspiration?
probably unsurprisingly, everything on this site was 100% vibe coded
Doesn't work in firefox, nor in Safari!
This is the most fun I've had on the internet in a long time.
I thought vibe coding tools did this already
The fire design is really good.
My personal website breaks this each time (jasoneckert.github.io), which is both a letdown and a pleasant surprise.
so much traffic... looks like it's working now! https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjasoneckert....
Switching the font on apple.com to Comic Sans is a nice touch.

https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapple.com&to...

That's a lot of fun!
This is like a lightweight version of netdisaster.com
how many passwords did you collect so far?
funny, when I loaded Ticketmaster, nothing happened...
ugh yeah, seems like they have some over the top security stuff to prevent this. saw this with a lot of financial sites too. probably ways around it but probably not worth the time for a fun project like this :)
This project seems to be using Chrome to load the pages through Puppeteer.

Ticketmaster can easily check `if(navigator.webdriver)` before loading the page. I don't think that can be fixed without recompiling the browser. thank you Google, very cool.

EDIT: actually, the following flag might work?

--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled

Sounds like a job for an AI layer
whoosh
I like that they handle the recursive case.
Seems to be unable to mess itself up:

https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fuckupmy...

Don't know whether this is failure or resilience.

Yes it does. I followed your link and got a big "YOU BROKE THE MATRIX!" Easter egg message...
Yep just got it myself. Perhaps it coincided with last night's server overload.

The easter egg looks quite cool :)

Doesn't work at Whitehouse.gov for some reason...
Been overwhelmed with traffic, but should be back working! https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwhitehouse.g...
For Your Safety

Government sites are blocked for security reasons.

Are we sure this isn't just Trump's usual webdesign?
Comic Sans does not seem like a joke there, it is somehow fitting.
Holy crap, I haven't been to that site in a while. What a joke it is now!
Does the job well!
I LOVE IT!

https://www.fuckupmysite.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews....

PS: after posting the link I saw at least one other comment did this, so the feeling seems widespread.

The bugs remind me of "A Scanner Darkly"
Completely breaks on opennet.ru

1. Breaks text 2. Cannot fuck up anything

I wanted to show this to a kid, but it sounds too vulgar.
Kid wanted to show it to you. But thinks you're a prude. Point taken, though. I live in a country where english lyrics aren't censored on the radio. I love it, but it's occasionally been awkward as three kids are growing up.
I guess it’s not working anymore? I had an error
ugh yeah this just happened, chrome marked it as "unsafe", I assume because I have a feature that is supposed to simulate popup ads

i requested a review from them, but no idea when that will actually be lifted

I doubt the review will succeed, mimicking other sites is explicitly one of the criteria they mark unsafe for.

Like I know this is just a joke site not meant to trick people, but it still runs afoul of google's unsafe website criteria by being a site whose sole purpose is being a MITM.

yeah i kind of doubt it too, but i'm hoping they have some review process for parody. it's a bummer it didn't even get a day of life :(
it might help to have an obvious/thick window decoration around the pane of the site you are cloning, similar to the large header archive.is shows to make it more clear you aren't trying to fool anyone.

Though with a google review who knows if a human will ever even see your appeal...?

That's part of the experience. I guess?
Chrome flags it as a dangerous site and blocks it by default for me.
cool :)
Back in the 90s/early-2000s there were browser add-ons where people could collaboratively do this as an overlay to any website. Kind of like stumbleupon 10 years early but you just shot/exploded/disintegrated, etc the html elements of the site and typed comments to each other.
Hahaha. :D

I remember in the 90's-00's there was Windows desktop software toy that did similar to this with options for missiles, fire, etc.

Examples:

Stress Reducers (2000)

Monty Python's Looney Bin (1998) (I could be wrong)

Dilbert's Desktop Games (1997)

Not working for my site, which deployed Anubis.
I wish fewer sites would resort to 4 letter words in their titles to grab attention. These days, a title like this makes me assume the product itself is not interesting enough for me to look at.
to be fair, it is a funny meme website, not a product.

to me, it's giving "just fuck me up" vibes https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-barber

I get the draw, and it's amusing, and it works; but I come here for tech topics - not clickbait. It's always nice to see the -1's to remind me that I'm barely a fit for this site! :D

THIS WEBSITE HAS VIRUS (PHISHING ATTACK)

doesn't seems like a false positive, so beware Mods please remove this and ban the user

It's because it's parody, it's almost definitely a false positive.
