Follow this link. It leads to a random page on Atlas Obscura — a website dedicated to collecting unusual places around the world. Tell us what you landed on and share a few thoughts about that subject. You can reroll a few times since not all the results might fit the theme of the community.

Also, I’m thinking this might make a fun weekly tradition to have an interesting discussion. What do you think about that?

I’ll start.

…and oh crap, this is what I got on my first roll, I shit you not. And I just can’t not link to this. It’s a South Korean park filled with lots of different phallic sculptures. So, kinda NSFW, unless that’s something your workplace is into.

Lol, there’s even a penis cannon. And it’s probably a bit more realistic than you expect it to be. Like, someone sculpted those veins! And you know what? I’m kinda not surprised that penis cannon is a thing. Is there something humanity hasn’t made into a dick yet?

I’m sorry :)

This site is really neat. First click led me to a place not far from me I hadn't heard of but I def wanna see it

Yeah, I’ve found a few hidden gems through it while travelling. I really like these types of websites as opposed to some Tripadvisor-like ad-and-sponsored-ridden mess.
