The top 25 Websites of the Weird: When a site is far from the mainstream
According to Merriam-Webster, “weird” is an adjective meaning something that is uncanny, mysteriously strange or fantastic. Weird may imply an unearthly or supernatural strangeness or it may stress peculiarity or oddness, according to the dictionary.
In the world of websites, weird takes on a whole new dimension of the bizarre.
Maybe it’s a sign of the times, but there seems to be a glut of websites popping up that serve a, how shall we say it, select audience. Let’s face it. These sites are weird. They are quirky, and they serve some not so obvious purposes.
Let’s look at some websites that not only venture outside the box, they flat out go down the rabbit hole and beyond:
