    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

    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.
