Burst your social bubble with a random story

Visit website
This site is for those short moments where you might reach for the all too depressing news or doom scroll social media. 

Instead of that burst your bubble with a random story. 101 stories about odd corners of history and science. A woman who danced until she died and took 400 people with her. The man who survived both atomic bombs. That kind of stuff. This site is for learning about something completely different and having some fun along the way.

Hey PH — I made thejohn.life as a side project for people who just want to read something interesting without being sold anything. The site is simple on purpose: 101 stories, a random button, numbered URLs. That's it. Each article is short (2-3 min read), fact-checked, and covers something genuinely strange that actually happened. No clickbait, no "you won't BELIEVE what happened next." I'd love to hear which stories you land on — hit random a few times and let me know what you find. Also, if you have stories you'd like to see here, especially lesser known ones - will be more than happy to add more!

@urttiapps This is so much fun and much needed break from keeping up with the latest news. I landed on "Why We Get Goosebumps" followed by "Why Paper Cuts Hurt So Much".

Cool idea! The minimalist design fits really well

Hope the story library keeps growing, because I kinda got hooked and ended up reading like 8 in one go 😁

Great! It needs for people who live with full of annoying content.

And the logo is funny. Why did you pick this?
