Camuscript: The Absurd Query Engine

Filed under: Existential APIs | Syntax Without Purpose | Sand in the Server

You load the page. It flickers. It laughs. You ask it a question — it shrugs.

This is Camuscript, the search engine that knows all answers are meaningless — but gives them anyway.

The Sisyphus Query Protocol

Every time you hit "search," it pushes a rock up the hill of infinite scroll.

New tabs spawn. New data loads. Relevance is promised, never delivered.

  PROMPT: "What is the meaning of this search?"
  RESPONSE: "Processing..."
  [no further output]
  

404, Therefore I Am

Every error message is a love letter from the void.

The algorithm knows you're looking for something. It just refuses to believe it matters.

Absurd UX Patterns

• Infinite pagination. On purpose.
• Suggested articles that contradict your query.
• Modal pop-ups that question your mortality.

Camuscript doesn’t crash. It contemplates. It loads with a sigh. It returns JSON encoded in ennui.

“Should I exist?”
— You, to the search bar. Every damn time.

But you keep querying. That’s the rebellion. Not in getting the answer, but in asking anyway.
