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!

Ahhh, this reminds me how much I miss StumbleUpon.

[–] Codandchips@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Stumbleupon was how I found Reddit !

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Sad times. Stumble upon was great!

[–] LostWon@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

StumbleUpon was the best. I do miss it.

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.

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

I miss StumbleUpon for this very reason

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

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.

Are you suggesting that it's not useless?

[–] blackluster117@possumpat.io 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Here's the first random site I got: https://alwaysjudgeabookbyitscover.com/

Silly.

I love it.

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

[–] LostWon@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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