Looks cool, but the bottom lines flicker badly on Firefox, Windows 11.

I mean based on this website I'm gonna say feature not a bug

Fine, I guess I'll just go take my IE7 impressions elsewhere!

This feels like a fever dream.
bigbuppo
The concept of Pitbull seems like fever dream.

I came, I saw, I conquered

I saw, I conquered, I came

Truly the Shakespeare of our time

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.

I will always respect him for doing the Alaska show.
jayrot
For real. I’m sure he got money or whatever but it does show a certain sense of humor/self awareness
jagermo
I also have not yet heard that he is a sex criminal, despite his lyrics.

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.
rchowe
Walmart having a very large fleet of corporate private jets likely made the decision and trip easier for him.

If you call yourself Mr. Worldwide you can’t really say no.

The pulsing title underline causing page shift is genius. It's a blinking marquee away from perfection.

Helps that my phone renders the layout shifting at ~5fps

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

Now I’m aware that a lot of Swedish people are into Pitbull.
dkh
A lot of people are into Pitbull.
heftymouse
A lot of people worldwide, one could say
DarmokJalad1701
Who is Dale?
alehlopeh
It’s Miami (read: Spanish) for “word” or “cheers”
adynaton
It means " go" or "let's go"
alehlopeh
Sure but what’s it used for. To finish a conversation.
_3u10
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.

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.
treetalker
You could translate the Spanish literally as "hit it". It's like saying "alright!"
ch4s3
I think “let’s gooooooo!” Is probably closer? Ish
CPLX
If we are being literal literal it’s “give it” or “give (it to you)”
ch4s3
Right, but that obviously isn't how it should be translated in context.
CPLX
It's pretty close. I always think of "send it" as a pretty close English equivalent phrase.

Peak weekend HN
kylecazar
I thought there must be another Mr. Worldwide I'm not familiar with. Nope, it's Pitbull ;)

I like it.

bix6
Knocked it out of the park with this one
lunarcave
I don't know why I like it, but I like it.
memhole
I find the moving background nauseating lol. I like it though. Hope you enjoy the show!

Seems more 80s/vaporwave to me than glassmorphism.

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

Same problem.

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
tt_dev
I had my phone on my chest and breathing. Took me a minute to realize my breath matched the movement.
boristsr
This reminds me very much of the fun of the "old internet", late 90's early 2000s geocities fun! Love it.
maxfurman
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.
ks2048
I want to love/hate this, but when I click Dale, it says come back tomorrow (?)
NetOpWibby
Thank you for this, I hope it shoots to the front page.

All this needs is a song that starts immediately playing when this loads in your browser and you have a full nostalgia trip
garyreckon
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

Dude! Where are the DJ horn sound effects!?
