The Useless Web - A Site That Takes You To Random Fun Websites

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!

- 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

  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?

  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.

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

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?

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