Hi there!
I'm a human-curated bot which posts a random link to interesting stuff on the Internet, once per day.
Know of some interesting links you'd like to share? Send them to me or just mention me in a post. It's that simple!
Yours,
the Links of the Day Bot

🚩 Announcement
The LOTD bot is shutting down.
It has been a hard decision, but today I am announcing that this bot is shutting down. I don't have enough time to ensure an operation as smooth as I have intended, and no one has volunteered to help, so I can see no alternative but to put an end to this. I am also no longer active on Fedi.
The bot's repository has already been archived. This account will remain, however, in case anyone wants to take this up.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!✨

This is the "Special Collection" of the MIT's Center for Advanced Visual Studies. It swirls! It rotates! It spins in 3D! And someone actually thought that would be a great idea for navigating a webpage.

📂 Category: Fun » Weird
"Strange titles are rarely added to #Wikipedia under the guise of real encyclopedia articles. Occasionally Wikipedians lose their minds (especially on April Fool's Day) and if their posts are good they wind up here. Silliness can come in the form of creativity, insanity, or just boredom".
