YDNTLYR is a dumb thing by @jmdickinson. It tiles an image as the background of a web page. See it tile. Become mesmerized by gif motion.
- Hit the base URL for a random image. Click the button to refresh and get a new one.
- To share an image, click the link in the top right.
- Alternatively, pass your favorite image by url variable:
http://youdontneedtoleaveyourroom.com/?b=IMGURL
Note: IMGURL must have http:// removed.
What's better than a great image? A tiled background of that image. What's better than sending a reaction GIF? Sending a page of that GIF tiled.
- Edges bleed together creating a seamless background.
- Motion can create a psychedelic undulation.
- The more epic the image, the more of it you want to see.
- For everything else, it's just kind of cool.
The name is a declaration of support for the hours we spend at our computers, totally engaged and entertained by what we find.
It's also a quote from Franz Kafka that serves as the Prologue of the book Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins:
You don't need to leave your room.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
Don't even listen, simply wait.
Don't even wait.
Be quite still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you.
To be unmasked, it has no choice.
It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
If you use option #3 above and provide your own image it gets added to the list so people visiting the main page have a chance to see it.
Over time, this will grow into a fantastic list of the most epic images. Or just fill up with filth.
I will delete anything I deem too vulgar. Where that line is drawn depends on the day.
