It reminds me on the wiki game "get to famous person X in the fewest clicks, starting at start page". Just a bit harder.

what a curious way to explore media! very artsy

I liked that navigating through spaces of images of items, none of which I quite knew the name, purpose, cultural references regarding or social significances of -thing

what an ocean of oceans of oceans this world has been and is

endless fun, a lovely bit of play, and the sound; satisfies! ty

An adorable widget.

I believe it’s inspired by the “I Spy” books https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Spy_(book_series)

This scratches the same itch as same.energy and pinterest, but looks better, with everything cut out, with unique shapes. Truly, every page is its own image.

I love wikipedia, but I don't see why this idea should be limited to it. Why it shouldn't scrap the entire web for images and descriptions, like same.energy?

I'd also prefer it if the description showed next to the pointer, rather then at the bottom right corner.

it took 5 refreshes to get 'Erect penis in yellow condom' from the 'Condom' wiki entry, which was just a (explicit) cropped picture of a dick in a condom on the random front page.

nothing a bit of regex cant fix.. hell add an nsfw version toggle that only looks up those kind of entries while you're at it.

cool toy though. reminds me of old microsoft edutainment stuff... well aside from the dick.
