The Interesting Button
Wikipedia has had a “random” button for years, but this button is different. Instead of a giving you just any page, I’ve narrowed the list down to the 2,100 or so most interesting articles on Wikipedia.
Click or tap the link below, and an interesting page will appear in a new tab. The article could be about anything—but I guarantee it’ll be good reading for at least a few minutes.
Have any questions? Know something I should include? Send me an email at johnbense@outlook.com, and I’ll get back to you.
There are 2,167 pages as of September 18, 2023.
