I have decided to not mention you know…that which has been going on in our country lately that shall not be named. To relieve some of the stress out there I have decided to give you a few fun sites to visit on the web that may put a smile on your face.
First off is one of my favorites, “Akinator” found at en.akinator.com. To use the site, think of a character, alive, dead, fictional historical, etc. The only requirement is that they are known to the general public. Fill in your age, why I have no idea, think about your character and start answering questions. Today I tried Abraham Lincoln and Peter Pan. Akinator got them both in (a guess here) less than 15 answers. Give it a try and do not worry. Although it may seem like it, it is not magic or mindreading but a really well done algorithm and database combination. Just the miracle of computing quickly.
Next is one that may be useful for some of you but I think funny, MyFridgeFood.com. Go to the site and check off the items you have in your refrigerator. Now click the, “Find Recipes” button and you have a list of dinners to make. To be honest I tried it and occasionally it will add a general item I did not list, but still interesting.
How about Rock-Paper-Scissors-Game.com. The name says it all, click the one you want and keep a running total.
How about a handy app that will clean the inside of your computer’s monitor? Try sanger.dk.
Do you like to shop on Amazon.com and sometimes run out of ideas for gifts? Go to WeirdOrConfusing.com. Every click of the. “Please” button will take you to Amazon to show you something – you guessed it, weird or confusing. How about trying to bounce a few cats at cat-bounce.com.
Try PointerPointer.com and no matter where you hold your mouse pointer someone will find it and point at it. Now that everyone is pointing your way show them some art. Go to ThisIsSand.com and make some sand art. It will give you a few easy instructions when you enter the site, make sure to read them on your first visit. Now create!
Would you like to watch a movie by a cozy fire but you do not have a fireplace, try TheInternetFireplace.com. How about seeing if you can tell where a picture was taken? Go to GeoGuessr.com and with Google Maps try the single player mode. The closest I got was about 700 miles.
There are always funny cat videos on YouTube.com, but I am sure many of you have already seen them all.
Finally, and only try hmpg.net last. Warning only use this site if you are absolutely finished. Now I bet for a little while you have forgotten all of that stress.
