The Useless Web Button... just press it and find where it takes you. The perfect button for the bored, or those looking to find useless sites online!
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!

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).

I miss StumbleUpon for this very reason
That’s the first thing I thought about. Such a good nugget.
Here’s the first random site I got: https://alwaysjudgeabookbyitscover.com/
Silly.
I love it.
you might enjoy paperback paradise
You might also enjoy a selection from Hark, a Vagrant.
Ahhh, this reminds me how much I miss StumbleUpon.
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.
StumbleUpon was the best. I do miss it.
That website was a gem. They fucking ruined it.
Stumbleupon was how I found Reddit !
Sad times. Stumble upon was great!
🤔
What does that mean?

That being said, I’ve seen much worse.

Per day … Right?
Per hour? It’s all a blur to me at this point.
My first result: https://puginarug.com/
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 https://zombo.com
Is this intended?
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.
Everything here looks very similar to Lisp programming used to create data structures that can look like emojis.
Here’s another fun one.
