Why the downvotes? Is this sketchy? What is it?

Maybe because it’s so edgy you can cut yourself reading it.

I like how it calls the captcha an “IQ test”.

Excuse me, but on what authority do you say it doesn’t suck? The comparison in the readme seems to be written by a resentful kid.

Seems legit as a concept, though the author is giving weird vibes.

I’m not sure what “globohomo” means but it sounds like a 4chan homophobic term. Additionally the author says they wanted a search engine giving results without “political inclinations”, which reads to me as “reality has a liberal bias and I don’t like that”.

I’ll pass on this for now.

Leaving this post here since it’s an interesting project to keep an eye on, but the conversation isn’t constructive. So, locking the comments.
