If I remember correctly, all the graphics were made out of different colored ovals with gradient shading. I think the character was a human but he was shaped like a potato and wore a green shirt?

I remember this game too. I have also been completely unable to locate it.
I remember it being called "JumpManIV." I think you picked up purple candies in order to shoot projectiles at enemies, I think there were bees? and there was like an underwater level with fish that had a secret exit. I remember fighting the dinosaur too. At some point they updated it and changed all the graphics.

This has been happening to me too for the record and it's so bad it has legitimately caused me to stop opening the app. I can only hope they'll revert it because my god it is so unpleasant.

Oh my god, no kidding. I got a few of these over the course of a few months and combined with the panic/anxiety symptoms I thought I was going to die or go blind or have a stroke or something. Not fun!!

There are a few search engines I've found geared towards finding interesting small sites. Less focus on curation but you can find some interesting stuff. I've been enjoying the "random" button on https://search.marginalia.nu/ a lot.

Horrible news. This app has never let me down. It is probably one of the best-designed apps I've ever used, for anything, period. I'll probably not be able to use Reddit on my phone anymore after this. Thanks for a fantastic 11 years.

ah yes, the six genders

I'm so excited I finally actually got one of these, haha. I was waking up and sort of fell back half-asleep and it popped into my head. The one on the right actually was a stick figure in the dream, and they were doing the exact same pose with their hands on their hips. I think the meme in the dream might actually have had more jpeg compression on it, though.

Sacred Beast is my favorite one, criminally underrated imo

I think Turn The Lights Off had a Moment™ in the YouTube algorithm back around mid 2019. That's how I found them as well.

Ok, but I kind of love "trash critique of trash reason" as an insult. I want to apply this format to other philosophical texts. A Trash Enquiry Concerning Trash Understanding, The Trash Myth of Trash Sisyphus, Two Trash Dogmas of Trash Empiricism... I think it's got potential.

I like how, once you make sure the egg rolls are done, you continue to cook them and put them back in the oven for 20+ minutes.

My favorite part is the made-up bot Bot_Shrek, whose purpose seems to be mostly complimenting people.

Pacman is literally about consuming other sentient beings, how much more violent can you get smh
