There are 1000 things google can spend their time on, that will be useful for the users. These intelligent idiots wasting the time and effort on these things.

IIRC, they get Fridays off to work on exactly such things (or other things they want to do/try).

I love these hidden eastereggs. Others I know: - askew - zeg rush (doesn't seem to work anymore) - ... Is there a list of all of them?

A few more I know are "minecraft", "do a barrel roll", and "recursion"

I'm a bit disappointed that Go Mono (and the other Go fonts, https://go.dev/blog/go-fonts) aren't supported...

I really like the search results in monospace. I wish you could configure the font!

The implementation is literally just one style on the page:

* { font-family: monospace !important }

You can use e.g. Tampermonkey to inject this style on https://www.google.com/search*:

I'm happy that there are still a few people at google doing the kind of fun things they used to do back when it was a startup. I think the easter eggs are still up if you ask Google Maps for a walking route to Mordor.

In my case it found some metal music bar with that name :/

Not really anymore, unfortunately.
