I can't stress enough how much I miss StumbleUpon

StumbleUpon once sent me to a supercut of Lion King, Lion King 1 1/2, and Lion King II, the main edit being that the scenes of Lion King and Lion King 1 1/2 were interspersed so that they happened in the order they actually happened.

stumbleupon not existing anymore can be directly traced to a dramatic decline in my mental health, I could do a thesis on it.

mini compilation of suggestions from the replies:

The Bored Button - "Press the Bored Button and be bored no more."

The Useless Web

Cloudhiker - "Discover the most interesting, weird and awesome websites of the Internet" (not really a rebrand, it's a different person running it but they have the same intention in mind)

Astronaut.io - "These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you)."

Marginalia - "This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed."

My friend sometimes brings her six-year-old to our DnD sessions and my husband (the DM) lets her roll for all enemy attacks and sometimes he will show her a few figures and let her secretly pick what creature we meet next. Who needs encounter tables when you have a first-grader around

Katharine Hepburn's Brownies
Much like its author, this recipe is a no-fuss classic. It calls for just ¼ cup of flour, which yields an incredibly rich and gooey brownie, and it's super easy to make.

i don’t know if you’re taking propaganda for her right now but these are literally THEE best brownies you will ever have. katharine hepburn knew what she was talking about

Behind a paid subscription wall. I HATE paywalls. After a lot of cricking my neck to see what I could make out, finally managed to put it together. Added normal measurements as it’s originally in US.

Yield: 12 brownies

  • ½ cup / 60 grams cocoa
  • ½ cup / 113g butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup / 201g sugar
  • ¼ / 31.2g cup flour
  • 1 cup / 150g chopped or broken walnuts*
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  1. Step 1 Heat oven to 325 F / 162.7 degrees.
  2. Step 2 Melt butter in saucepan with cocoa and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla.
  3. Step 3 In a separate bowl, combine sugar, flour, nuts and salt. Add to the cocoa-butter mixture. Stir until just combined.
  4. Step 4 Pour into a greased 8 x 8-inch-square pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Do not overbake; the brownies should be gooey. Let cool, then cut into bars.

*I have a nut allergy, so I would replace the walnuts with something else. Things I have used in the past:

  • chopped pretzels,
  • coconut flakes,
  • chopped stem ginger,
  • oreo or other digestive/biscuit bits (jaffa cakes are nice),
  • bits of crushed honeycomb (before Americans ask, not the actual honeycomb from bees, the sweets. Well. Never tried the stuff from bees, but as it’s mostly wax I don’t think it would work)
  • chocolate chips/chunks/callets/buttons (dark or white, ruby, mint, butterscotch, kendal mint cake, caramel pieces, billionaires, etc), or other chocolate candy like crispy M&Ms, Terry’s oranges, peppermint bark, chopped up
  • pumpkin or sunflower seeds (not my favourite, but fine),
  • dried / dehydrated fruit - cranberries, apricots, figs, raspberries, ginger, cherries, etc.

Most of the conversions were taken from here - https://coolconversion.com/ because I have no idea what the hell a “cup” means. All the cups in my cupboard are different sizes.
