♻ THE MANIFESTO ♻

Every second, millions of "unique" identifiers are generated across the internet. UUIDs, transaction IDs, session tokens, blockchain hashes... all consuming precious entropy from our universe's finite pool of randomness.

But what if we told you that uniqueness is a LIE perpetuated by Big Crypto and the UUID Industrial Complex? What if REUSING identifiers could save the planet AND prevent the heat death of the universe?

NOT A UNIQUE ID is here to challenge the status quo. We recycle identifiers that are already in use somewhere on the internet. Sure, it might cause a few database collisions. Maybe some authentication systems will get confused. Perhaps reality itself will experience minor glitches.

But think of the ENTROPY WE'RE SAVING! 🌍♻️✨

* Side effects may include: timeline divergence, quantum entanglement with strangers' accounts, spontaneous existence in multiple places simultaneously, and void where prohibited by the laws of causality.

** NOT A UNIQUE ID is not responsible for any paradoxes, universe collapses, or existential crises that may result from using our service. By recycling an ID, you acknowledge that uniqueness is a social construct.
