I was expecting something along the lines of http://humanstxt.org/ but fun little easter eggs like this are always nice!




why did you include facebook?

https://www.facebook.com/centipedes.txt


To contrast it with Google. Activate your humor subroutines and scan again.


I find contrasting google and facebook to be mildly crazy. On the other hand: https://plus.google.com/humans.txt


I get 404 on all of those.


The Google one apparently is a 404 on HTTPS, and a text file on HTTP.


Hence the point.


I've always been partial to transformers.txt (it's robots.txt in disguise).



Cute! I wish more sites actually had humans.txt files.


http://www.googleventures.com/humans.txt Is a pretty swish one.

http://liverpool.gov.uk/humans.txt "BEWARE OF THE LEOPARD" (bottom of text)

I'm surprised this passed on a Government site, slipped it past compliance eh?


I was wondering how long it would take someone to find this.


Interestingly, there isn't a robots.txt


Hey, sexy mama, wanna kill all humans?


Haha this is great


wow lol, didn't expect that.


hah! a reference to a popular aspect of geek culture! more of this, please.


  I understand the subtext of your comment which has 
  subsequently provided me with a degree of positive 
  emotions.


best. humans.txt. ever.
