Illusory Pseudoupdate?






Why do I keep trying to recall the earworm that has been torturing me for some time once it is no longer in my head? I guess I want to identify it in order to block it consciously, but the moment I remember what it was it starts playing its ominously endless loop in my mind again! Brain is such a whore for commercial sound.

What is this

For those who assume that the frequency of updates on 56stuff.com is too low, we made this simple yet effective illusory pseudoupdate.

Using the illusory pseudoupdate is as easy as child’s play. The only thing you have to do in order to get fresh, original, and definitely new page is just to press “refresh” button. Wow?!

As you understand, we killed two birds with one shot: visitors don’t get bored anymore, and we have a neat confirmation of our never-ending hard-working process.


The content of this page

is obviously original. We use this instead of blog or, if you wish, a diary. Also you can find here some fragments from various interviews and a number of answers to frequently asked questions.


By the way,

another entertaining way to use this pseudoupdate is to play it like a game. For example, you can think of a picture and then keep clicking refresh until it loads in both slots. You can also compete with your friends: the one who gets the wished combination first wins!

And yes, you definitely can tell someone’s fortune using these pictures and words. For sure.


As for non-illusory updates,

they usually appear in our updates history.
