The internet is a large place with tons of useful websites. But what makes it truly interesting is the number of bizarre pages. Here are 25 of the best.

Sure, there are other websites you haven't heard about. They vary between being useful to being fascinating. But what we want are pages that crank up the weird-but-cool factor.

1. The Collective Unconscious

cool weird websites - the collective unconscious

In an article about weird, bizarre and useless sites, here is a website that tracks just how much time has been wasted on it. You can see the total time wasted by everyone who ever visited it, as well as your personal contribution to the cause of being unconscious and unproductive on the internet.

2. Weird or Confusing

cool weird websites - weird or confusing

Whether you know it or not, there are some weird things eBay won't let you sell. But what's actually surprising is the number of even more bizarre items you'll find on eBay. Weird or Confusing is a StumbleUpon for the craziest items on the public's online marketplace.

3. Channel Surfer Club

cool weird websites - channel surfer club

This is a cool web experiment. The site has a single video, which anyone can post. Link any YouTube video and its updated in real-time for anyone who visits the site. If someone else changes the video, everyone gets to watch that. Basically, you "change the channel" for everyone. Nothing like some hand-curated video recommendations, right?

4. Lone Comment

cool weird websites - lone comment

Like the Channel Surfer club, this site lets you add one comment that everyone who visits the site has to see. But this time, to add or change a comment, you need to pay money. How much? More than whatever the last person paid. So if you have something important to say, raise the price. Free speech isn't always free...

5. Paper Toilet

When you woke up today, you wouldn't have believed the guy who told you that your favorite thing in the next 24 hours is going to be a virtual roll of toilet paper. But that's what I'm telling you. So tell me if I'm wrong. (And use this on your phone, it's better with a touchscreen.)

6. Wilhelm Scream

cool weird websites - wilhelm scream

Click to listen to the Wilhelm Scream, a sound you have heard many, many times before. It's an audio clip of a man screaming in pain, which has been used in 372 movies and countless TV series. Naturally, the internet had to make a web page dedicated to it.

7. Gravity Points

cool weird websites - gravity points

Gravity is a cool scientific law. But what's even cooler is to play around with that law. In this little online experiment, you can add gravity points at different parts of the screen. And then you can increase or decrease the number of particles on screen to see how they interact with those gravity points. You'll never get tired of this one.

8. My Animal Weight [No Longer Available]

How many ants would it take to make up your current weight? What fraction of an elephant are you? If such mysteries of the universe keep you up at night, My Animal Weight is ready to answer them for you.

9. Feeling Unlucky

Google's famous "Feeling Lucky" button took you directly to the first search result for any query, without ever loading the page. This is literally the opposite, as it takes you to the last search result for any query. Practical? No. Weirdly cool? Yes, yes, a googol times yes.

10. DJ Trump

Every day, the price of the Pay For Nothing club increases by one cent. If you want to be part of the club, acting now is better than acting later. And what do you get in return? Nothing.

15. Grumpy Website

Watch an endless stream of the screen collapsing in several different colors. It's mesmerizing. It's psychedelic. It's far out, man. And there's this perfectly thematic background score to go with it. Falling Falling is one of the most hilariously random websites you'll see.

18. Zoom Quilt

Another trippy site, Zoom Quilt keeps zooming in on the center of an image. And then you discover there's more to that image. And then even more. It's an endless zoom of cool art with different styles. Think of it as what Escher would make if he knew how to add a zoom function to his concoctions.
