The $101M Hack

Second white-hat finds an RPC vulnerability. Gives themselves $101M. Instead of exploiting: "PLEASE FIX YOUR SUPABASE". Fixed in 20 minutes.

The Chirpocalypse

The crickets represent silence. For every day without a message, one more cricket appears on the chat page. They flee from your cursor—but barely. You must herd them aside to reach the input field and submit button.

The payoff? When you successfully submit a message, all crickets explode off-screen in terror. Peace—until tomorrow, when one cricket returns. Then another. Then another.

Your message breaks the curse. Every $1 is a gift to future visitors.
