I'm happy that there are still a few people at google doing the kind of fun things they used to do back when it was a startup.

I think the easter eggs are still up if you ask Google Maps for a walking route to Mordor.

It might work with (m)any font hosted by fonts.google.com.

For instance: https://www.google.com/search?q=permanent+marker+font

Nice easter egg, any others?

https://www.google.com/search?q=courier+font

I really like the search results in monospace. I wish you could configure the font!

Would switch permanently

How long until they use an LLM to make up a joke based on what the user typed in the query field?

I love these hidden eastereggs.

Others I know:

- askew - zeg rush (doesn't seem to work anymore) - ...

Is there a list of all of them?

I had to load this in Edge to actually see the joke. My FireFox config (Ublock/NoScript/?) prevents the custom styles from showing.

There are 1000 things google can spend their time on, that will be useful for the users. These intelligent idiots wasting the time and effort on these things.
