To summarize StumbleUpon, it basically gives you a random webpage based on your interests. Do you know what that means? A RANDOM FUCKING WEBPAGE. Do you know how many webpages are on the internet? A FUCKING GAZILLION. So needless to say, StumbleUpon keeps you occupied.
There are downsides, though. If you're a hardened SU veteran, like I, you may periodically come across websites that only complete fucking dumbasses would thumbs up. These are a few of the aforementioned sites.
YTMND.
No, it's not fucking funny. No, it's not any fucking funnier if you add stupid text and a ridiculously stupid music to the background. FUCK. I DON'T LIKE YOUR STUPID MUSIC. THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT STUMBLINGUPON A FUCKING SPONGEBOB PICTURE WITH DEATH METAL IN THE BACKGROUND. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE.
Kittens.
Kittens are EVERYWHERE. THEY ARE NOT FUNNY OR CUTE ANYMORE. LOLcats are a fucking plague on the internet. They are the only meme I am wholeheartedly against. Oh my god, is that your cat? Did you put words underneath him? How FUCKING STUPID. Or should I put it in your vernacular, did yoo put werdz ull undir teh kittehz? poop in ur nogginz!
Unbelievably Sketchy Paranormal Sites.
Maybe this is my fault for checking 'Paranormal' on my interests list, but after seeing fifty pages of horribly formatted fonts on garish backgrounds highlighting Eric P.'s pictures of his attic ghost, I firmly am of the opinion that this is the internet's fault. Case in point. It's a page devoted to a GIANT SPACE BLIMP. That NASA created. And for no reason, a FUCKING STAR DESTROYER. BECAUSE THAT WILL REALLY BACK UP YOUR DATA.
Pages like This.
Pages that appear to have a bunch of info, but are in fact link whores to other sites. It's kind of like giving a cardboard cutout of a cookie to a baby and then telling him that he should go to the next door neighbor's house to enjoy the real cookie. Oh, and then telling him to sign up for a Pro Membership in order to have more cookies.
Stumbling to Digg/Reddit.
This doesn't even make sense. Why would I stumble to a page that is a link to the other page? What the fuck did people want me to read? The page that it links to, or six pages of "Good link nice job"?
