Welcome ladies, gentlemen, non-binary folks, trolls, otherkin, hard-light constructs, and lizard people. Today I present my first in what will hopefully become a series of giveaways.
In this giveaway, you must complete a list of web-related content and post here with the results. The prizes for this giveaway are a $5.99 game and a $9.99 game. The winner of the $5.99 game will be determined by random selection, and the winner of the $9.99 game will be selected by me based on how creative/cool/awesome your entries are; essentially, the entry I consider the best. (Note that if you get the best entry prize, you will not be entered into the random draw.)
You are encouraged to be creative with your entries, and many descriptions are left purposefully vague. If your entry duplicates or substantially copies another user's entry, it will not be accepted. (You've got the whole Internet, you shouldn't really be overlapping with other people's entries.)
It is recommended that you use a wide range of sources such as image searches, maps, and satellite imagery. Your responses may be presented in any medium of your choosing, as long as they can be attached to a single post in some way. There are several ways in which you can obtain bonus marks; some are noted, whereas others may require lateral thinking. If you like, you can post your own media that you have produced. If you do so, you will earn extra marks, though note that this bonus only applies once. Since by its nature this thread is likely to sink through the pages, you will get a participation bonus for bumping the thread.
To participate, you need to submit 23 items for 23 years of an Internet that's open to all:
1. An overhead view of a structure (manmade or natural) which provokes interest
2. Animals behaving like humans (bonus points for non-domesticated/wild animals)
3. People caught misbehaving by Google Street View
4. Something cool from your hometown (if you have privacy concerns, you can lie)
5. A haiku
6. Fun discoveries from map-based interactive software (e.g. Pokémon Go)
7. Great music you discovered online
8. An Easter egg found on a website (if you submit an actual Easter egg it better be amazing)
9. Digital relics of a time gone by
10. Novel uses of the Internet
11. An awesome web game
12. Fun with Internet bots
13. A story about how the Internet has personally affected your life
14. An interesting font
15. Unexpected web privacy/security concerns
16. A beautiful building
17. A glorious meme
18. A historical tidbit
19. Technology going so very wrong
20. A recipe
21. Old people trying to understand the Internet
22. Your favourite conspiracy theory
23. Something you contributed to the Internet
~~~
Please note that while interpretation is welcome, I reserve the right to decide whether or not an entry meets the criteria. You are welcome to amend your submission at any point prior to the deadline, and you may post your submission prior to completion; to be counted, it must be completed before the deadline. Additionally, users who are known to be scammers or who intentionally make the community worse will not be permitted entry. For avoidance of doubt, I will keep a list of certified entries in the OP.
Submissions must be made before 22:00 UTC on the 30th of June.
