As Afroman would say, you had plenty to do, and then you smoked.
But what to do then? You don’t have the attention span to watch a documentary, you don’t have the patience to start a series, in short, you just want to zap.
So we’ve selected a series of strange and fascinating, funny and serious sites to keep you tripping all night long. Go on, roll one up and follow me:
To tripper Parano: http://www.stopabductions.com/
With the return of the X-Files, it’s now or never to build your own “alien telepathy helmet”. This site is a marvel of more-than-approximate conspiracism. Filled with tables and peremptory assertions, it will keep you entertained for hours.
It’s as if the Men in Black came to your house with an eggbeater. A good way to forget about current events.
For creepy trippers: http://www.crash-aerien.aero/
You were thinking of going abroad, but you’re short of money? Or are you taking the first flight out in the morning and staying awake to make sure you don’t miss your flight? This site is for you! With its comprehensive news section, forum and web radio, this site specializes in air accidents and incidents. A bit like the “New Detective” of the post-September 11 era.
For zombie trippers: https://mattbierbaum.github.io/zombies-usa/
There’s nothing more relaxing than watching a demographic map of the USA gradually cover itself in zombies. Almost a moment of Zen. Based on a 2010 referendum and propagation algorithms, you can vary the pleasures and make your zombies more or less biting. At last, a Walking Dead episode without endless dialogue.
For introspective tripping: http://cdn.anasomnia.com/
A little girl who can’t sleep asks you to turn off the light. Connected to your webcam, the site detects when the light is off, and the animation only starts in the dark. Of course, it’s easy to cheat, but that would be a missed opportunity. For a few moments, you become a child again, divining worlds through the shadows of the room. Simply fascinating.
For psychedelic tripping: http://fractalfantasy.net/
Arty and elegant, this site brings together interactive digital installations. The Fractal Fantasy collective launched by Sinjin Hawke and Zora Jones offers the kind of things you’d see at the Palais de Tokyo, if you weren’t so lazy as to go there. The music, on the other hand, is rather questionable (Dj site oblige). A site not to be looked at on the way down, at the risk of being sent straight to the police station to lodge a complaint against “Les Fantômes dans ton ordi”.
To tripper cosmos: http://htwins.net/scale2/
A web classic, this scale launched in 2012 by twins will make you feel dizzy. Easy to handle, you can go from the infinitely large to the infinitely small as quickly as you’d hook up on Tinder. Don’t hesitate to click on objects as you go. It’s a great opportunity to learn something new between two taffes.
You might learn something interesting (and impress your next date).
To tripper regression: https://nathanfriend.io/inspirograph/
An easy-to-use and surprisingly entertaining spirograph. Choose your cogs, the color and the point from which you want to start, and get ready for hours of fun. Nathan Friend, the project’s creator, has also imagined a theremin based on a motion detector. The scariest part is how quickly you’ll be sharing your creations on Facebook. The author of this article had a few laughs on his personal wall the day after a smoke-filled evening.
