gpthis vs. letmegooglethat
In 2008, letmegooglethat.com was a perfect joke. Someone asked a question you knew they could Google, you pasted their query into LMGTFY, and the link showed a cursor typing it into a Google search bar. The point was the gentle ribbing.
In 2026, most of those questions should've just gone to ChatGPT. So here's the update:
letmegooglethat.com
- Launched
- 2008
- The joke
- "You could've googled that."
- The preview
- A Google search bar animation
- Output
- A link to search results
- Still works?
- Yes, for the classics
gpthis.com

When to use each one
Both tools are for affectionate mockery, not aggressive put-downs. Use letmegooglethat when the question is about a static fact someone could've looked up in 30 seconds. Use gpthis when the question is the kind of thing you'd paste into ChatGPT anyway.
What makes gpthis different
- Animated previews. The link unfurls into a full typing animation on iMessage, Discord desktop, Telegram, and more.
- Cross-platform verification. Every gpthis URL can be tested at gpthis.com/tester to see exactly how it'll render on 14 different platforms before you send it.
- Live "in the wild" feed. See where the phrase is being used across the internet in real time at gpthis.com/wild.
