    My iPhone 16 Pro immediately started heating up the moment I opened the page. 11/10 working as designed!

      Yes, I didn’t know my phone had a secret feature of becoming an instant hand warmer until I visited this website

    This is one of the stupidest, most amazing things I've seen in quite a while. I'm glad to see someone doing something silly just for fun and not just hustling.

    This is the epitome of crappy website designs and I love it. The unnecessary gradients, nauseating movements, ambiguous buttons, and overall clutter really symbolizes Mr. worldwide’s shoddiness.

      And leaving the upside down exclamation point off the "Dale!" — chef's kiss. So Miami.

      Adding a "que bola!!!" somewhere would be the icing on the cake.

      The pulsing title underline causing page shift is genius. It's a blinking marquee away from perfection.
      • bmicraft4 months ago
        Helps that my phone renders the layout shifting at ~5fps

      I will always respect him for doing the Alaska show.
      • smallpipe4 months ago
        There was an online contest to vote for Pitbull to go perform at your local Walmart. The internet being what it is, he got sent to the most remote Walmart in the US, Kodiak Alaska. He did go and perform. What a top lad.
      • jayrot4 months ago
        For real. I’m sure he got money or whatever but it does show a certain sense of humor/self awareness
        • jagermo4 months ago
          I also have not yet heard that he is a sex criminal, despite his lyrics.

    Looks great, though surely Mr Worldwide has sufficient wisdom to go around that we don't have to ration it to one quote a day!

    I've seen Pitbull twice, it's always a great show. Lots of energy and plenty of nuggets of wisdom dispensed between songs, lol.

    Seems more 80s/vaporwave to me than glassmorphism.

    The music player isn't working for me, chrome is reporting the following:

    • garyreckon4 months ago
      i've removed the iframe now as it was causing more issues than benefitting a good , fun experience. i couldn't quite get it to work so will update the 80s vaporwave shortly with some music
    • dkh4 months ago
      Same problem.

    For the pitbull lovers, there's http://www.pitbullparty.com/
    • samtheDamned4 months ago
      The "How to play" button being in the American Horror Story font really finishes the whole thing

  • pratik6614 months ago
    All this needs is a song that starts immediately playing when this loads in your browser and you have a full nostalgia trip
    • garyreckon4 months ago
      i built this but could not get to stream it properly so removed it before deployment. my local version plays a playlist when this loads in the browser and its a party
  • josu4 months ago
    This is horrible.
  • memhole4 months ago
    I find the moving background nauseating lol. I like it though. Hope you enjoy the show!
  • pelagicAustral4 months ago
    Nice one. I appreciate the humor. I t reminded me of an app I used to praise on my Nokia Lumia on Windows Phone, it was a simple Chael Sonnen wisdom app I could open anytime to get some quotes from the GOAT
  • ecocentrik4 months ago
    Pitbull's personal philosophy strongly compliments the Musk, Andreessen, Thiel, Altman worldview. I imagine Musk's first Martian colony will outlaw all music except for Pitbull.
  • fastball4 months ago
    Love the website but that Pitbull quote of the day is kinda... rapey
    • lazide4 months ago
      On the plus side, pitbull seems like one of the few with no actual rape accusations. So that’s good?
  • n2dasun4 months ago
    This is awesome, but also makes me want to fight you
  • kylehotchkiss4 months ago
    I hope every second of the show delivers what you’ve been anticipating. 11/10 great work
  • DarmokJalad17014 months ago
    Who is Dale?
    • alehlopeh4 months ago
      It’s Miami (read: Spanish) for “word” or “cheers”
      • adynaton4 months ago
        It means " go" or "let's go"
        • alehlopeh4 months ago
          Sure but what’s it used for. To finish a conversation.
          • _3u104 months ago
            It’s both, it’s not just a Miami thing. I hear it all over Latin America. In both ways like dale dale Olimpia (go <team> go).

            Me: I’ll have a burger. Waiter: dale.

            I don’t hear it much in Argentina tho, but maybe I wasn’t listening for it.

            • CPLX4 months ago
              Don't forget "vale" which I always think of as being Spain Spanish but you hear it all over the Spanish speaking world too. Which is like almost the same, but not the same.
    • treetalker4 months ago
      You could translate the Spanish literally as "hit it". It's like saying "alright!"
      • ch4s34 months ago
        I think “let’s gooooooo!” Is probably closer? Ish
        • CPLX4 months ago
          If we are being literal literal it’s “give it” or “give (it to you)”
          • ch4s34 months ago
            Right, but that obviously isn't how it should be translated in context.
            • CPLX4 months ago
              It's pretty close. I always think of "send it" as a pretty close English equivalent phrase.
  • ks20484 months ago
    I want to love/hate this, but when I click Dale, it says come back tomorrow (?)
  • stevage4 months ago
    Who or what is MrWorldwide? Lot of people in this thread seem to know.
  • NetOpWibby4 months ago
    Thank you for this, I hope it shoots to the front page.
  • lunarcave4 months ago
    I don't know why I like it, but I like it.
  • boristsr4 months ago
    This reminds me very much of the fun of the "old internet", late 90's early 2000s geocities fun! Love it.

    I had my phone on my chest and breathing. Took me a minute to realize my breath matched the movement.
  • SanjayMehta4 months ago
    I have no idea what’s going on here and from the comments it appears that this is by design.
  • pirbull4 months ago
    The fact that this is in the lead up to a show outside the US makes this even better
  • nickvec4 months ago
    This site made me feel nauseous.
  • busterarm4 months ago
    My new home page. Love it!
  • cjbconnor4 months ago
    Looks cool, but the bottom lines flicker badly on Firefox, Windows 11.
    • idopmstuff4 months ago
      I mean based on this website I'm gonna say feature not a bug

    I love that the "not now" button does nothing
  • dev_stdout4 months ago
    This is nauseating. 10/10, no notes.
  • bix64 months ago
    Knocked it out of the park with this one
  • kittikitti4 months ago
    This app is revolutionary in the design. It's not campy but the next generation. It's an upgrade from AI slop, perhaps "AI camp"? Like, people asked an AI for a million features, it gave them slop, but during camp they all figured it out and made it to the front page!

    I also like the "breathing". This is probably nauseating for most people but I sort of do this while scrolling so I have my finger ready to swipe in between the seconds I read through the screen.

    • Xen94 months ago
      Now that you mentioned, "as highly conscious and self aware person", I observe the wave like up and down breathing effective, which I did not pay attention to while on the site, as a cost-effect. The interesting part is I am not always sure if I am actually waving from breathing, of if this is the illusion, and it was for half minute certainly both. This is the type of thing one remembers a decade afterwards.

      I don't know if this is AI, it looks like it, but could well not be.

      I believe this isn't "just fun" but having told the AI to not to make it work for meme effect on HN. Obviously AI could fix easily, including but not limited to the music itself.

    This feels like a fever dream.
    • bigbuppo4 months ago
      The concept of Pitbull seems like fever dream.

    Who’s Dale??
  • kylecazar4 months ago
    I thought there must be another Mr. Worldwide I'm not familiar with. Nope, it's Pitbull ;)

    I like it.

  • therm04 months ago
    Unironically better than all the 'Another GPT Wrapper' apps that get submitted here.
  • alehlopeh4 months ago
    Now I’m aware that a lot of Swedish people are into Pitbull.
    • dkh4 months ago
      A lot of people are into Pitbull.

        A lot of people worldwide, one could say
