This thread was inspired by a fellow poster.
His comments about the overwhelming stench that is often found when surfing the net is one we all encounter daily, so with that in mind this thread is about the hidden gems.
The interesting sites, pics, videos instead of the usual minutia one finds. {keeping within the TOS of course}
As some may know but for those that don't, this is one such place Stumbleupon.
It takes your interests, be it art, music, science {there are many options} and basically gives the internet a spin and stops at random site, pics, WTF! etc. The thing is the more you spin it {stumble} the more the internet becomes "yours", finding the things that interest you and your ideas.
Many have seen the pics that I've posted in the bear's {cn} thread Beautiful, they were the result of my stumbling through the web.
Here are a couple more examples that I found today, these are historic photos, some are quite shocking while others thought provoking.
Woman With A Gas-Resistant Pram, England, 1938
Annette Kellerman promotes women’s right to wear a fitted one-piece bathing suit, 1907. She was arrested for indecency
Advertisement for Atabrine, anti-malaria drug, in Papua, New Guinea during WWII
Construction of the Berlin wall, 1961
Walter Yeo, one of the first to undergo an advanced plastic surgery and a skin transplant, 1917
Hotel owner pouring acid in the pool while black people swim in it, ca. 1964
Mother hides her face in shame after putting her children up for sale, Chicago, 1948
