Ahhh, this reminds me how much I miss StumbleUpon.

Stumbleupon was how I found Reddit !

Sad times. Stumble upon was great!

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.

I miss StumbleUpon for this very reason

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

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.

The only website you need is https://zombo.com

Is this intended?

AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Are you suggesting that it's not useless?

blackluster117@possumpat.io · 5 pts · 2y

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

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

Silly.

I love it.

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 · 2 pts · 2y

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

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