10 Websites You Should Bookmark Right Now

by Emma Cueto

The Internet is a vast and ever-shifting landscape full of amazing resources and glorious destinations, buried though these things might be amidst the mountains of trolls and porn. So when you find something cool, it pays to bookmark it — and here are 10 websites everyone should have bookmark, according to Reddit. And there are always more where these come from. Because, you know, the Internet.

Everyone has their favorite websites, but we all know there are more out there. The Internet has some of everything, if you look hard enough. You can find funny videos, bizarre images, scientific studies, fan fiction as variable as the human imagination, recipes for dishes you'd never heard of, satirical news articles, personality quizzes, advice blogs, games, art, music, and places to purchase just about anything. I mean, there exists an entire website dedicated to letting you find an invisible cow. There's a website where you can listen to Wikipedia being edited. Another that is nothing but Darth Vader screaming.

Basically, if you can think of it, it is on the Internet — and if it's not, well, then, obviously you have to put it there. It's your duty as a denizen of the digital world.

The downside of all this infinite variety, though, is that it can be hard to find the good stuff — and then once you find it, it's absurdly easy to lose track of it again.
