I’d be cool with having Stumbleupon back.

    Random weird websites. I remember one that was a dedicated John Gotti (the mob boss) fan page and had all kinds of info on him. Or there was another one where this girl posted up pics and profile info for her toy robot collection, all with names and intricate backstories. Another was a forum site where people would go into public and shit their pants for the thrill of it, then come back and write a detailed description of the event for others on the forum. These people were like doctors, lawyers, businesspeople, etc. In general there was a genuine strangeness that just doesn't seem to exist in many places these days.

      :data-laughing:

      The strangeness is still there but it mostly manifests as YouTube or TikTok channels. It is not nearly as large a presence as it once was, for sure.
