I agree with you. Last weekend I had the same realisation and thought how that as a programmer it's comparatively very easy to make weird stuff for fun. But somehow we rarely do.

I made a page that converts sentences to GIFs a couple of years ago[^1]. I remember how I revelled in the fact that I could create absurd stuff likes this out of nothing.

I want to do this again.
