What's the weirdest domain name you own or used to own?

by•

Weird domain names are the unsung heroes of the internet. I used to own pollinate dot me. Basically I was drunk and thought a dating app based on people that liked to garden was a good idea

I have https://purposefulpoop.com/ . i really wanted to make a tool that let you

1. put in your salary
2. click big poop emoji anytime you are pooping while working
3. determine how much you get paid to poop each year
4. (optional) cta to donate 1% of your paid pooping to charity

with something like bolt.new i could probably make this in like 10 minutes, so I really should do this and launch it. and i can probably even use it to direct traffic to one of my other projects...

going to try to hammer this out tomorrow. will report back to this thread with an update!

I bought urifans.com but in my defense it was a defensive maneuver, my friend convinced me he was about to buy it and I had to get there first

@uri_bram1 this is the exact kind of competitiveness i live for lmao!

I was obsessed with getting a short domain for one of early startups. I could not believe I had to go for a 5 letter Dotcom as all the 3 and 4 letter remotely related were gone! It was an open source rating and review platform that used smilies / emojis before they were common. I wanted something related to emotion / expression and ended up with a phonetic… emotf.com 🤷‍♂️. I never really liked it, always had to spell it for people. Needless to say the startup did not go far. But still have the domain.

@emotf I feel like EmoTF could be something … Emotional Translation Function? Open source library to detect emotion in real time? 🙂

@rajiv_ayyangar you may have given it new life 🙌. I’m building https://ascenda1.com which is in the field of psychology. I made Psych based AI LLMs that can be wrapped in a users’ Persona (for influencers, coaches etc…) maybe it could be a spin off product 🚀🤔

reallybouncyballs.com - I felt like there was a gap in the market for selling extremely bouncy balls...haven't executed on it...yet

Plandemicmusical.com. Bought during the 45 minutes in which I was going to write a satirical broadway musical about how Bill Gates really did start covid. Obviously can't let it expire.

@steveb you need to make this musical

I have microschooled.com. Not as weird as it is epic. Bought it when I worked at Prenda, the OG micro school company.

The first domain name I ever bought was back in 2003. the-spark-plug.com was supposed to be a forum designed to compete with warriorforums and no one told me hyphens are a bad idea. Life is a good teacher.

Uri Bram

ahahahah this one is amazing

Maybe not weird but I have owned teammascot.com for 23 years. Was my ecommerce site in the early 2000’s. It’s been defunct for a long while but something in me can’t let it go so I pay the fee year after year.

acolyte-des-illustres.fr "acolyte des illustres" is the official translation of "Follower" but the term never took of.

Jimmy Ofisia

Probably sua.ist and dsgn.lv (design love 💕🤷‍♂️).

Yan Bingbing

Bad ideas make great campfire stories. Keep that domain—your future gardening cult awaits. 😂 Who else has a shelved URL that deserves a comeback tour?
