Whimsical Websites To Check Out Part 2
The Subreddit /r/fairygardens - Okay, so technically this one isn't a website; it's a subreddit on Reddit, but it's so cute. You get to see people's own fairy gardens that they've made and ones they've stumbled across. I really want my own fairy garden one day.
No Clip - A website dedicated to exploring maps of video games; really cool if you're into the nostalgia of video games. So cute to look up the old graphics of things like Mario Kart and Donkey Kong, etc.
Flipboard - I feel like I've shared this somewhere before, but I know a lot of us really miss Stumble Upon, and so far Flipboard is the best alternative I've been able to find.
The Nicest Place - Feeling like a virtual hug? Well, you can get one here! It's a continuous stream of strangers giving you a virtual hug for support.
Ponder Club - A place dedicated to thoughtful games for restless minds.
Today's Good News - A place for all the good news going on.
Self-Love Rainbow - I just think this is a cute feel-good blog and love the colour schemes.
Gifts Coach - I don't know if this one fits the "whimsy" theme, but it's kinda useful. It helps you find gifts for people when you are stuck on what to get them. Could be good for Christmas?!
Blobmixer - An interactive site where users can manipulate floating blob shapes with their mouse cursor. It's more fun than I expected.
Atlas Obscura - I will forever be obsessed with this website. You can find so much cool stuff; it's hidden gems and oddities that people might not know about. Without this, we wouldn't have found the Vancouver Police Museum when we went there.
Mental Floss - I don't really know how to describe this website, but it's got history, literature, science, art, music, and lots of fun things to explore and learn about. It's kinda like if BuzzFeed or Bored Panda were more academic.
100,000 Stars - A Google Chrome Experiment where you can zoom through the Milky Way as well as explore star systems nearby.
The Secret Door - Basically just click on a door and it "teleports" you somewhere random in the world through, I assume, Google Earth/Maps. I ended up in a random theme park in California.
Information is Beautiful - A collection of aesthetically pleasing data shown via infographics.
Whale following mouse - The orca will follow your mouse.
Dear Next Visitor - A website where you can leave a message for the next visitor, and after you've written yours, you get a message. The message I received was a bit mean: "Life is like a box of chocolates, and yours is the mouldy coffee one left at the end".
The Evolution of Trust - An interactive game where you can either cooperate with others or betray others. An engaging way of learning about human behaviour (think prisoner's dilemma).
Jellotopia - A cute interactive photo booth!
Queens Journal - Upload photos and turn them into cute stamps!
Digibouquet - Send digital flowers to others! So cute!
Thank you for reading! Let me know in the comments which one was your favourite! Stay whimsical,
