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!

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.

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?

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