Nibling, that's what we used to call "surfing the web". Google all-but killed it with their ranking algo that heavily disincentivizes outgoing links, but pre-google, which was also pre-Web2.0 (what we now call "social media", it was a dominant way to spend time online; that, and the old-school fora.

Wikipedia and TVTropes, I guess. But that's staying on one site, not going from site to site.
Frankly, I never partook in stuff like webrings or StumbleUpon even back when they were a thing.
I remember stumble upon
Not since the days of yore when there were DBZ websites with affiliate links. Lol
Literally any microblog that has a webring. You just need to hunt for them from various sources like YouTube and forums.
https://www.newgrounds.com/ if you've never experienced this website. The various videogame parodies are fantastic.

Not too much of a rabbit hole, but it's fun to waste some time on some small thing here and there. I find a lot of fun or weird stuff there and I love it.
Ok, I've spent way too much time on the sites on there. Enjoyable as fuck.
