Is it dark outside?

Is it dark outside? reduces its entire premise to a question and one blunt answer. The current page said 'no,' with no visible explanation or controls, turning a basic glance outdoors into a tiny piece of deadpan web comedy.

What is Is it dark outside??

The page wastes no time on scenery, charts, or sunrise tables. It asks whether it is dark outside and follows with a single lowercase answer; during the current check, that answer was 'no.' The lack of visible machinery is the point. You arrive, receive a verdict, and are left to compare it with the much older daylight-detection system commonly known as a window. Independent write-ups have treated the site as a novelty for years, including one aimed at people marooned in windowless server rooms.

What you can do there

• Read a one-word yes-or-no answer

Why we picked it

Few websites commit so completely to one very small bit. The current page's question-and-answer structure is instantly understandable, and the refusal to explain itself gives the joke a satisfyingly dry finish.

How to get the most from it

Open the page, read the one-word verdict, then compare it with the sky where you actually are. If the two disagree, trust local conditions rather than the gag.

Good to know

The page provides no visible explanation of how it reaches its answer. Location handling, accuracy, accessibility, audio, runtime tracking, and day-to-night changes were not established, so this is best treated as a novelty rather than a daylight tool.
