Joyscrolling "stumbleupon.com" was the shit back in the day. I learned so much about science and random niches. Wish there was a similar thing these days too.
@mauve Is it not a thing anymore？
@Aaron_Davis I don't think it's been a thing for over a decade now. :P
@mauve I tried Stumbleupon again in the early 2020s and it was 100% ads.
@caten Brutal 💀 Not unexpected sadly.
@mauve @blogdiva Tom Scott has been doing a newsletter with interesting links like that for a while. All of those links are on his website and there’s a random link feature https://www.tomscott.com/newsletter/
@baibold Oh wow this is so good, thank you for the link!
@mauve
I think https://wiby.me has something similar
@mauve
(There it is: it's the "surprise me" button just below the search bar)
Pretty sure it was how I found "stuffonmycat.com" and articles about populating cell matrices with animal cells with the goal of making replacement organs.
