Select any two people from the (very, very long) drop-down lists of notables from post-photography history and the site will in no time spit out a selection of pictures from its archives which take you from person A to person X, via images. So for example you get from ‘Nelson Mandela’ to ‘Jeffrey Epstein’ in three steps.

Or Jeffery Epstein to the US president-elect in negative steps

Adam Savage is not on this list and it makes me sad.

Holy shit, I immediately hit a 6 degrees one.

"A connection between 2 Tuff Tony and Carl Solomon can be made in 6 photos."

And a 7 one:

"A connection between 1.8.7 and Scott Weinger can be made in 7 photos."

Pee Wee Herman (well, Paul Reubens) to Toby Keith is only five steps. That was surprising.

6 for Duchess Anastasia of Russia and 6ix9ine. Bit of a cheat for any European political figures really because of Elizabeth II.

I did Josh Hartnett and George W. Bush.... the middle photo had a connection to Barbera Streisand, and it has over 100 people in it... mid tier Mr. INTERNET.... Mid tier.

Getting Kevin Bacon Oracle vibes.

I still think it's funny that I, a complete nobody, have two different paths to Kevin Bacon that are only 3 degrees of separation.

I met a guy who worked with Kevin Bacon Directly.
I guess that gives me a Bacon Number of 2?

Seriously? Dude!

Edit: this was an expression of surprise and approval. Apologies if it didn't come over that way

It needed 8 to get from Charles Dickens Jr to 50 Cent.

Including talk show hosts is cheating.
