I don't get it. Is it a parody? A copy of an existing website? An attempt to see how many people will sign up without reading the URL or page? An actual startup with an "ironic" URL?

You should have a NSFW warning on the last one for people mindlessly clicking the links like I did.

some of them are NSFL 0_0

Where do you find all these?

The majority of the results seem like believable bullshit startups. Every now and then it makes a pretty good parody.

"Myescent is like Google Plus but for Gaming"

"Coner, Startup as a service"

"Contracee, Rent a Phone as a service"

"Ultrambu, Using the blockchain to create AI-Chatbots"

"Malicious, Interactive learning"

"Octozu, Using the blockchain in Dating"

"Kwigen is like Twitter but for Communication"

There's some deep truth in that.

I got "like Twitter but for transportation"

I'm still mulling over the possibilities of what that could mean.

Appears to be a series of generic, generated fake startups, like the AI-generated faces at https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ [appears to be down]

What's not to get? It's telephone calling on demand which is going to be the next youtube! I have already signed up for $89/month and sent them my resume! What a great idea. They already have three CEOs so I don't think 1 more can hurt, frankly.

I thibk it's a reference to https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ (AI-generated faces bases on real faces).

Since that's down, my favorite related parody is https://thiscatdoesnotexist.com

https://thiscatdoesnotexist.com

This no longer loads for me. (Browser history says I've visited this before, so the URL should be correct)

Still loads for me and did so when I posted it.
