🌐 NZ Internet Experiment – Live Chat Tonight
Hi everyone,
I built a simple live chat website as a small social experiment to see something interesting:
Do people still enjoy talking to strangers online like in the early internet days?
Before social media algorithms, there were places where you could just jump in and talk to random people — a bit like the old days of MSN / IRC style chat rooms.
So I created a very simple space where anyone can join and chat live with whoever shows up.
🧪 The experiment:
Tonight at 8pm NZ time I’ll open the chat to see who joins and what kind of conversations happen.
There are no profiles, no algorithms, no feeds — just a live chat room and whoever happens to be there.
If you're curious, you can join here:
chat-wh.lovable.app...
Feel free to: • say hello
• ask strangers random questions
• meet people from around NZ
• or just observe the chaos 😄
If something funny or interesting happens, feel free to screenshot and share it.
And if you want to help the experiment, invite a friend and see who turns up tonight.
I'm genuinely curious to see what happens.
Let’s see if the old internet magic still works.
💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡
I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

Between the headlines about the Strait of Hormuz and the creeping costs at our local stations, the "fuel crisis" has moved from the news to our wallets.
A recent opinion piece in The Post suggested that Wellington Councils should be shifting our public facilities to renewable energy ASAP to keep our rates from being vulnerable to these global fuel hikes. It’s a big conversation for the city, but what about your daily commute?
We want to know: With fuel prices staying high for the foreseeable future, are you changing how you get around the capital?
