cooked.rip, the internet’s pettiest throne

Why it surfaced

The winner takes over the page with a name, message, link, and image, then gets archived in the site’s “graveyard” after being cooked by a higher bid. The page turns that mechanism into a legible social spectacle: at capture, B Henry held the $5 throne, with 24 people watching and one reign recorded.

A live auction lets one person buy control of the homepage until someone else outbids them.
