(Somewhat SFW) eBay really is the world's biggest marketplace. It is the evolution of the modern flea market, with 21st century security and payment controls in place. Traditional competitive auctions comprise about 65% of eBay's transactions, but you can also make straight purchases with "Buy It Now" and "Make Me an Offer" options.

Here you'll find horrifying examples of car parking errors, sports mishaps, advertising faux pas, bad clothing choices, and absurd human inventions.

19. Sh*tBrix.com: Puzzle Photos and Strange Phenomena

Definitely NOT safe for work, sh*tbrix.com is a photography blog where users comment on what they see in the pictures. Two things really make this site addictive: 1) the photos themselves contain obscure content that is often challenging to discern. 2) the users make some really outlandish comments about each photo. The content is usually very adult, so be careful about your surroundings before you visit here. But you might really enjoy this strange and bizarre site.

20. YouTube: "Related Videos"

SFW: It's not just that these amateur videos are very engaging... it's that there are thousands of them linked together. If you start to browse the column of "related videos" to the right of each clip, you'll be hooked. For example: you start watching "car reviews Honda CRV", and pretty soon, you are browsing the car reviews of every one of its competitors. Even better: search for "talking dogs" or "Einstein the Genius Bird" and you'll be laughing for hours. Addictiveness factor: 5/5
