MetalBand.exe
MetalBand.exe is a personal favorite of mine.
Some classics include “Obliterated Funeral” and “Word God.”
The WikiWow account regular posts out-of-context images from WikiHow along with a link to the tutorial.
random color contrasts
Another cool color-based account is random color contrasts.
It was inspired by Randoma11y.com, which is a website that generates pairs of contrasting colors.
The posts include the name of each color along with its hex code.

Vote Chess
Vote Chess is an interactive Mastodon account.
Every hour, a computer makes a move on a chess board.
It’s followed by a poll with possible moves.
The infamous mouse-over text is even hidden behind a spoiler so you might still see it.
Every post also includes a link to the comic on the XKCD website.

Lastly, another “without context” account.
This one is for the many iterations of Star Trek.
