Google and YouTube Easter Eggs
Google:

• Copy the Google logo in the top-left corner of a search and paste it in a photo-editing program, and there used to be the Google logo with a bunch of random buttons and a transparent/black background (It worked for Bing as well).
  
• Click, ‘I’m Feeling Lucky' without searching anything, and you'll get taken to Google Doodles.
  
• Type, ‘G’ in the search bar (Don't search!) and click, ‘I’m Feeling Lucky', and you'll get taken to G-Mail. (I guess it's the first result in the search… .-.)
  
• Type, ‘underwater’ into the search bar without searching, and click, ‘I’m Feeling Lucky', and it will take you to Elgoog's Google Underwater.
  
• Type an equation into the search bar such as ‘1+1=’, ‘10-6=’, ‘4/2=’, ‘3*2=’, etc. and a recommendation will appear as the same thing but with the answer ('1+1=2', ‘10-6=4’, ‘4/2=2’, and ‘3*2=6’ respectively). This also works with Bing.
  

Chrome:

• The dinosaur when you have no internet connection (And maybe the game as well - I haven't tried) is also on the app store in the form of a game called, ‘Steve - The Jumping Dinosaur!’
  

YouTube:

• Search, ‘Harlem Shake’, and everything dances to the Harlem Shake.
  
• Search, ‘Use the Force, Luke’, and everything moves around slowly.
  
• Search, ‘Doge meme’, and all the text will be colourful.
  
• Type, ‘Awesome’ on a video, and the search bar will be rainbow.
  
• Go to https://www.youtube.com/leanback and YouTube will appear as it does on the X-Box.
  
• Search, ‘Random video’, or, ‘Random video music’, and a random video or random video with music, respectively, will appear.
  

:elgooG

• http://elgoog.im/underwater/ for Google Underwater
  
• http://elgoog.im/ for Google Mirror
  
• Google Pacman's ALSO playable at http://elgoog.im/pacman/.
  
• Google Gravity's ALSO useable at http://elgoog.im/gravity/.
  
• http://elgoog.im/guitar/ for Google Guitar (as discussed earlier).
  
• http://elgoog.im/snake/ for Google Snake Game.
  
• https://iploc.org/ for a website which supposively works out your location using your IP (Although Firefox asks me whether I give it permission to track my location).
  

That's all I know…I think…

Note: None of the YouTube easter eggs work for me (except for Leanback). If something works for you but not me, it's either because:

1. I am using Firefox
   
2. I am using Windows XP Professional.
   
3. I am doing it wrong.
   

Bye, I'm Steve - The Jumping Dinosaur!

Definition of easter egg - a hidden feature meant as a joke.

Does this belong in this forum? Just wondering.

===========================

Searching up “the answer to life the universe and everything” will open the calculator, which states that the answer to life the universe and everything is 42. This is a reference to a novel called A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

According to the Google calculator, “the loneliest number” is equal to 1, as is “the number of horns on a unicorn”.

Searching up “once in a blue moon” will bring up a weird calculation for the occurrence of a blue moon.

If you search up “recursion”, directly below the search bar, there will be text reading, “Did you mean: recursion”.

If you search up “anagram”, directly below the search bar, there will be text reading, “Did you mean: Nag a ram”. “Nag a ram” is an anagram of “anagram”.

Searching up “solitaire” will bring up a solitaire minigame that you can play.

Going to google.com/teapot will bring you to a weird error 418 page. You can click the teapot to cause it to tip over an pour out tea. This is a reference to a nursery rhyme.

Going to https://www.google.com/?hl=xx-pirate will bring you to a seemingly-normal Google search page, but the text on the search and I'm Feeling Lucky buttons are different. You can also replace “pirate” at the end of the URL with “piglatin”.

Searching up “google in 1998” will cause the google search page to change to what it looked like in 1998. Search up “take me back to the present” to revert to the normal page.

Searching up “do a barrel roll” will cause the entire page to do an aileron roll. (Courtesy of @DaEpikDude)

Searching up “askew” will make the page tilt slightly.

Searching up “zerg rush” will bring up a ton of small O's that “attack” the search results, and once you're defeated by them they will spell out the words “GG”. (Courtesy of @Dabzers)

Searching up “atari breakout” and going into images will bring up a game of pong.

Tell Google Home to self-destruct. It acts like it will self-destruct but then says “actually, I think I'll stick around”. (Courtesy of @nickeljorn)

Searching up “super mario bros” will show a box with a question mark. Clicking the box will give a coin and 200 points. Clicking it 100 times gives you a 1-up. This is a reference to the question-mark block in the game. (Courtesy of @scrooge200)

When you search up “bletchley park”, the text to the right of the search results will rapidly switch through several ciphers before settling on “Bletchley Park”. This is because Bletchley Park was a site for British codebreakers. (Courtesy of @PintOfMilk)

Type in “pacman 30th anniversary” to play a minigame of pacman.

Or, you can simply search up “pacman”. (Courtesy of @whatsfordinner77)

There was a doodle called “155th anniversary of the pony express”, which was actually a game. You move up and down with the arrow keys, collect mail, and avoid obstacles in your quest to deliver as much mail as you can. You can still play it here: https://www.google.com/doodles/155th-anniversary-of-the-pony-express

There was also a similar minigame for the halloween of 2016. You can play it here: https://www.google.com/doodles/halloween-2016

Google Gravity (http://mrdoob.com/projects/chromeexperiments/google-gravity/) is like the Google search page, but everything falls to the bottom and you can pick up different buttons and the search bar, and throw them around. (Courtesy of @bostinhadograu)

Searching up “spinner” will bring up an interactive number/fidget spinner. You can switch between them. (Courtesy of @yzyzyz)

Searching up “find chuck norris” and pressing “I'm feeling lucky” will redirect you to a website called nochucknorris.com that displays the following text: “Google won't search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don't find Chuck Norris, he finds you.” (Courtesy of @bostinhadograu)

Search up “sonic the hedgehog” and Sonic the Hedgehog will appear on the page after being left idle for a while. Clicking on him will make him roll, and if you do it enough times, he'll turn into super Sonic. (Courtesy of @spycapt54 and @MonkeyboyWyatt)

On Google Chrome, when there's no internet, if you press space you can play a fun minigame. (Courtesy of @girlsruless)

The “I'm feeling lucky” button redirects you to the first result, skipping the search. (Courtesy of @bostinhadograu)

Google Terminal (http://elgoog.im/terminal/ or http://www.masswerk.at/googleBBS/) lets you do a google search, except the search gui looks like a code terminal. (Courtesy of @bostinhadograu)

Copy the Google logo in the top-left corner of a search and paste it in a photo-editing program, and there used to be the Google logo with a bunch of random buttons and a transparent/black background (It worked for Bing as well). (Courtesy of @MCJB05)

If you click “I'm feeling lucky” without searching anything, you'll be taken to Google Doodles. (Courtesy of @MJCB05)

On Youtube: (Courtesy of @MCJB05)
Search, ‘Harlem Shake’, and everything dances to the Harlem Shake.
Search, ‘Use the Force, Luke’, and everything moves around slowly.
Search, ‘Doge meme’, and all the text will be colorful.
Type, ‘Awesome’ on a video, and the search bar will be rainbow.
Go to https://www.youtube.com/leanback and YouTube will appear as it does on the X-Box.
Search, ‘Random video’, or, ‘Random video music’, and a random video or random video with music, respectively, will appear.

If there are any that I missed, please feel free to tell me!

I thought you were only supposed to bump once every day

You can bump as soon as the topic's no longer on the front page.

Really?!

That's what I've heard.

Oh. I had a teacher who loved to play the dinausaur game. They even purposely turned of WiFi sometimes.

There's also another anagram: search up “define anagram”. It pops up with “nerd fame again”.

Can we put Google Home Easter Eggs here too? I have one: Tell Google Home to self destruct.

Since it seems to be Google related, then sure.

Not sure what Google Home is exactly, though.

Curse you, 60-second rule…
