This is extremely well done. Academically, I look forward to any attempt at criticizing this project. It's a tricky thought experiment.

What is it exactly? There is no editorial to go with this. I love the time machine feel though. Hello tables!

I've been trying to make a list of "cursed" websites - some of them are really deep and vast and demonstrate some sort of twisted brain that was behind each site. Some are just bizarre. Most have cursed vibes. You can spend hours on a lot of them just digging up fucked up shit.

Cool, going to check it out later!

If 'cursed' is derogatory, then it seems unfair/mean to call sites cursed just for not keeping up with current web design trends. Shouldn't we be better than that?

[andrewflnr]

Not exactly. "Cursed" in modern slang is more like something weird and unsettling in a way that's probably funny and may or may not actually be bad.

[joemi]

Your description sure sounds derogatory.

[junon]

"Cursed" comes from meme culture. It's not derogatory.

[joemi]

How isn't it derogatory? It seems to me to be something to laugh at (not with) and/or be afraid of.

[junon]

Nope, it has kind of an obscure meaning, such as "unusual" or "interestingly strange". Blessed is the antonym, meaning "cathartic" or "wholesome".
