Imagine the terrors of multiple government agencies synchronizing ID selection to an identical source of randomness. Congrats, you won jury duty, a tax audit AND selective service!

Sorry, can't help myself!
The Ralphie running demo on the site is hilarious.
Some say, you could just use Ralphie's actual runs from this past year, true randomness!

Ah, another randomness beacon! Although I wish it used the same API as NIST's beacon, either the v1 or v2 API.

I recommend to also jump to "What is the Twine Protocol" [1] where they created a blockchain without a consensus layers because they have a level of trust in timestamps.
Verifiable quantum randomness sounds interesting - https://drand.love is another verifiable randomness beacon, though using more traditional cryptography

Things like these are absolutely idiotic. Every single computer, be it a laptop or desktop or a phone, are able to produce randomness. Why in the hell would you trust a random website?
