I do own www.pantswithpockets.com which – given the often heard lament from my female friends about the inability to buy pants with pockets, I keep waiting for a store that sells them to take me up on this. Crickets.

Perhaps you wanted www.girlpantswithpockets.com? All my boy pants have copious pocketry. But the ones that look best on me hold about a third of an iPhone 11.

Erhm…maybe womenspantswithpockets.com?
(Don’t click that, I didn’t check and it probably goes somewhere bad, like the internet)
ETA: do you get 1.333G on that 1/3 of a phone?

(TW: porn-related) Maybe 15 years ago, a pal and I back in Scotland had a wonderful idea for a website. It was inspired by his wife-to-be demanding that he purge the house of his porn collection before tying the knot. He hit a problem in that eBay had certain rules regarding such items. You couldn’t advertise anything hardcore, which was basically his entire collection. But if you tried to skirt the rules and say it was softcore, nobody was interested. So, why not set up a version of eBay specifically for adult items? The world was surely crying out for it, and I was working in SEO/web development at the time.
And that’s how we ended up with www.secondhandwank.com

I remember registering domains back in the mid-1990s and it was a shit show. Back then it was free, and InterNIC (run by Network Solutions) was the only game in town if you wanted a .com/.org/.net domain.
It was a painful and slow process of filling out specially formatted text files and emailing them, and waiting - sometimes for days - for them to be processed and hopefully not have any errors, or else you start the whole process over again. Even after you get the domain, modification processes were similarly painful.

I own two that could make the list: “itsontapekayleigh.com” and “plentyofchum.com”. I bought the first just after some reporter said that to one of Trump’s idiot press secretaries. I have no idea why I bought the 2nd. Nor why I keep them. I guess I’m supposed to “monetize” them, somehow, but I’m not smart enough to know how.
I do recall I was pretty high when I bought them. Probably explains a lot…

I’ve got a 4-letter domain name. .ca though, so it’s not valuable. It’s also the radio call sign of a Canadian university radio station, so I used to get email destined for their DJs and program managers all the time.

I own a six-character domain name (including the dot and TLD), although it’s not a common TLD. I also own an eight-character (including the dot and TLD) .net domain.

I got a 3 letter .com in the 90’s. Seemed cool at the time, but unfortunately they are worth tens of thousands of dollars (or were a few years ago), making them a profitable target for thieves who use social engineering, hacking and knowledge of the many flaws of ICANN domain transfer rules to steal domains and sell them to Chinese domain investors (well, at least that’s what happened to mine). It’s not the loss of the money that is the issue because I didn’t get it to sell, it’s the loosing one’s email domain, and the hacker and eventual buyer have access to all future email sent to the address meant for me, no email account password needed to access the email because it goes to “their” domain and new account.
So less generic and more personalized domain has some security value over more valuable domains, though saying that I feel a bit like former BBS mod Antonius (sp?), who used to humble brag (maybe) about needing advice/support from LPSG.
