Some websites are places you can walk around in, not pages you read. 
The best one is a single pixel building with a thousand rooms, every room drawn by a different artist. The other seven are its neighbours.

What each one actually does — one line each
floor796.com — one enormous animated pixel building; scroll floor by floor, every room a small interactive joke. Sit with this one for an hour.
sandspiel.club — pour sand, water, fire and plants, and watch physics do the rest. No rules, no score, pure toy.
radio.garden — spin a globe, click a city, hear that city’s radio live. The fastest way to feel somewhere else.
pointerpointer.com — put your cursor anywhere and it finds a photo of someone pointing at it. One joke, executed perfectly.
zoomquilt.org — a painting that zooms forever without ever repeating. Hypnotic, and it never ends.
theuselessweb.com — one button, endless pointless websites. The cure for a boring five minutes.
windows93.net — a complete fake operating system in a tab: boot screen, apps, jokes everywhere. Hand it to someone and say nothing.
neal.fun — a collection of hand-made toys: the deep sea, size comparisons, absurd little games. Each one is a five-minute detour.
Why these beat a normal link list
Why this beats a normal link list: none of them are articles. Every one gives you something to do in the first two seconds — pour, spin, zoom, click — and that is why people stay.
Start at floor 8. Scroll three floors. You will understand why this one gets forwarded.
