I’m sharing this because it’s fun, and can be a nice diversion from all the doomscrolling. There are lots of puzzles and random digital knick knacks. Enjoy!

Here’s the first random site I got: alwaysjudgeabookbyitscover.com

Silly.

I love it.

Ahhh, this reminds me how much I miss StumbleUpon.

FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world on 31 Jul 2024 13:30 next collapse

It was a fun find, and I love the variety. Some of the sites are dumb fun. Some are games and puzzles. Others are just something completely different.

You might be too young. They’re referring to a service called StumbleUpon that did almost exactly what you posted here.

Sad times. Stumble upon was great!

NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world on 31 Jul 2024 14:15 next collapse

That website was a gem. They fucking ruined it.

LostWon@lemmy.ca on 31 Jul 2024 14:19 next collapse

StumbleUpon was the best. I do miss it.

Codandchips@lemmy.world on 31 Jul 2024 14:30 next collapse

Stumbleupon was how I found Reddit !

yamanii@lemmy.world on 31 Jul 2024 17:06 collapse

It was great, the internet was new and people just had fun with it.

Today will be another productive day!

LostWon@lemmy.ca on 31 Jul 2024 14:28 next collapse

Thanks for the link. Not a bad distraction! I hope there’s a large catalog in case I want to treat it like the random Stumble button of yore (which I must have hit hundreds of times at least).

Per day … Right?

LostWon@lemmy.ca on 01 Aug 2024 00:48 collapse

Per hour? It’s all a blur to me at this point.

What does that mean?

This is a screenshot from uBlock Origin, an ad-blocker for browsers. Red means that something is in a block list. There is a lot of red, which means this website uses a lot of stuff that tracks the user or serves ads.

That being said, I’ve seen much worse.

My first result: puginarug.com

residentmarchant@lemmy.world on 31 Jul 2024 22:06 collapse

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what a “Pugina” was, should have just clicked the link

The only website you need is zombo.com

cordlesslamp@lemmy.today on 31 Jul 2024 17:15 collapse

Is this intended?

Unfortunately not, the site has been having some problems today. It should run a loop of this.

AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world on 31 Jul 2024 18:20 collapse

Are you suggesting that it’s not useless?

KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml on 31 Jul 2024 19:41 next collapse

I miss StumbleUpon for this very reason

ohlaph@lemmy.world on 01 Aug 2024 03:05 collapse

That’s the first thing I thought about. Such a good nugget.

sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works on 31 Jul 2024 21:46 next collapse

Here’s another fun one.

Everything here looks very similar to Lisp programming used to create data structures that can look like emojis.
