What is a rabbit hole? Is it just an interesting site to waste time on?

It comes from a metaphor:

> "Down the rabbit hole", a metaphor for an entry into the unknown, the disorienting or the mentally deranging, from its use in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Though in modern parlance it seems to me to be used to refer to an endless hole one falls down and never really finds their way out of.
