Thread: Post your favourite or unusual websites here

    Post your favourite or unusual websites here

    As per the title really.
    When I've time I love a little random browse around online but often end up just looking at the same old things.
    So post your interesting or unusual sites that you're recommend here with a small description to help readers decide if it would be of interest. Hopefully we can build a dossier of some fun sites!

    I'll start with a fun time-waster.

    https://quickdraw.withgoogle.com/

    It tells you what to draw in 20 seconds and an AI bot tries to guess as you draw in real-time. 6 drawings per round - it's tougher than you think to get the bot to correctly guess all 6!

    5/6 on my first go, was quite happy with that.

    Can see it being a nice timewaster!

    5/6 on my first attempt.

    My own fault, as I (rather oddly) decided to draw a bed instead of a spreadsheet!
    I need to pay more attention.

    5/6 on my first attempt; AI couldn't get "Flip-flop" which I thought was my best drawing out of the whole 6!

    5/6 then 6/6. No idea how it guessed asparagus!?!?!

    https://neal.fun/ is an absolute minefield of pointless games/random internet fun.

    The drawing game is fun, but of course massive overfitting on the 'AI' model (hence why it can guess a skyscraper from a rectangle and a oven from two squares!).
