digital paperweight

Digital Paperweight: A term used to describe a website or online platform that serves no functional purpose other than providing aesthetic appeal or informational content. Similar to a physical paperweight that merely occupies space without serving any practical function, a digital paperweight lacks interactive elements or features that engage users in meaningful actions or transactions. Visitors to a digital paperweight can only passively consume information, view images, or read textual content without the ability to schedule appointments, make purchases, access digital downloads, participate in discussions, or engage in other interactive activities commonly found on functional websites. Its primary function is to visually please the user without offering any actionable or transactional opportunities, making it akin to a decorative yet non-utilitarian object in the digital realm.
Although the website had a visually stunning design and captivating images, it was ultimately a digital paperweight since visitors couldn't do anything beyond reading the provided information. It lacked any interactive features or transactional capabilities, rendering it an aesthetically pleasing but functionally limited online presence.

The website was nothing more than a digital paperweight, offering beautiful visuals but no interactive features or practical functionalities for visitors.

it should be called Digital coprolalia

of profanities whilst online.

2. Some things said during a fit of "Online Coprolalia" will be completely uncalled for and may result in uncontrolled LOL's and rofl's and coffee spurting through ones nose.
misquoted examples of Digital Tourette's on FB

1.person on facebook = "Had a shitty day"
Megan = " awww that not fun!! Vagina."

2. person on facebook = " my boss is crap"
Ms Clark = "Mother fuckers. Go in and kick their chicken butts."

digital orgasm

That intense, all-consuming, eruptive feeling you get when you haven't met a person in real-life, only online (totally randomly or through mutual offline friends), but looking at their photos gives you an orgasmic sensation and sends shivers down your spine.

Know the one? ;-)

Well, that's "digital orgasm" for ya!

It tends to exponentially intensify the likelier it is that you will actually get to meet this person in real-life and experience a real-life orgasm with him or her.

So, no - it's not reserved exclusively to your online celebrity crushes. ;-)

Ultimately - it is a soul and mind sensation!
While looking at someone's Facebook or Instagram photos, thinking: "WoW, I think I just had a digital orgasm!"
