Well, people have already mentioned TV Tropes and Reddit, but they're definitely two places I can spend hours on end browsing for content.
Other than that:
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/ http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/ - If you like obscure games, this will keep you reading for hours. The amount of Japan only arcade games you probably never knew you wanted is insane.
http://www.spriters-resource.com/ http://www.spriters-resource.com/ - And its various associates for 3D models, textures and sounds. I can easily get sidetracked just looking for examples of strange games, tilesets or enemy sprites. If you're making a fan game or game mod... you'll probably spend more time here than actually making the game.
Various Wikis in general. Super Mario Wiki, Zelda Wiki and Bulbapedia can keep you reading for weeks if you're a fan of those franchises.
https://tcrf.net/The_Cutting_Room_Floor https://tcrf.net/The_Cutting_Room_Floor - A very large wiki for unused content in games. There's a lot of fascinating stuff there, and just looking for ridiculous developer rants can take up a fair amount of my time.
For example, this rather amusing rant about warez teams and the demoscene:
https://tcrf.net/Final_Fight_(Amiga) https://tcrf.net/Final_Fight_(Amiga)
Forums in general. If I find a new forum, I'm probably not doing anything else for the next weekend or so while I try (and sometimes fail) at catching up on what happened over the last ten years.
http://www.suppermariobroth.com/ http://www.suppermariobroth.com/ - Yeah, it's pretty obvious what my focus is when it comes to the internet. But it's basically one very long feed of Mario tech gimmickry and randomness and it makes for one hell of a trivia source.
