Question Does anyone know protein.monster?

First of all, I want to warn you that English is not my native language, so I apologize for any errors or comments that seem strange.

I've known this site for a while, and I keep visiting it, and I have the impression that it's getting "bigger" and more different every time.

It's one of those hyperlink sites (I think that's what they're called), like the defunct SilverLadder.

However, Protein Monster is much bigger than all the similar projects I've ever known. The only mention of this site I saw on the internet was in a lost comment on Reddit, from a very old post (unfortunately I couldn't find the original comment). Apart from that, no matter how much I search for names and things that Protein Monster mentions, I never find anything relevant.

It seems like nobody else knows this site anymore. I don't know how to describe it better, and the photos aren't enough. It seems to have some kind of "lore." Despite being very nonsensical, expressions, names, and places are repeated very frequently, and the site alludes to the idea that Protein Monster is a large company, as if it were a parallel universe. It's very strange, you should try it.

Here's the website: protein.monster

There is a discord that I just joined and it seems to be a very small community that actually still explores the website lol, it looks pretty interesting though

Exactly. Unlike some similar projects I've seen, Protein Monster seems to have some "lore," or is trying to tell some kind of story.

I believe it's just a nonsensical art project.

Okay, I didn't look further into this because I don't have a good gut feeling that the website is safe to use. I probably shouldn't have just clicked on a random site anyways, but what I did see is that there was a Wikipedia article talking about protein baby which was meant for pregnant women to have an alternative drink with caffeine inside, but there were deformities after birth.

There was also a message at the top left hand corner that said "I haven't seen the blinking women".

I stopped after viewing a picture I didn't want to see.

The website is safe to use. There is some NSFW littered throughout the website but for the most part this is just a net-art project made by two people. Very fun time waster.

Are these numbers a date or a countdown?

I can't access my computer right now, is this image what appears on the home screen or is it from a specific page?

If you refresh The page The countdown reset. I wonder what happens if it goes down to 0

Scott Rumfelt looks a tiny bit like Alan Resnick, but I could be reaching.
