I want to see if I can get a spark of the “old internet” back by making a starting page for myself with all kinds of cool websites. But not sure where to start because Google obviously will not work for this.
So… what are some of your favourite websites?
I, too, wistfully long for the days of memepool.
She’s gone Ralf, she’s gone. Let her go.
It is far from lesser known, but my favorite standalone site is still Atlas Obscura.
Are these effective load times? I’m not exactly sure what this is.
Edit to add: Am I misreading this, or is your connection throttled? I have 0 issues loading the site with Firefox + uBlock Origin, either desktop or mobile.
Got a few:
https://everynoise.com/ You can find A LOT of music genres here. Genres next to eachother resemble one another. Figure out what you like, and what genres are close to it. Clicking on the >> will take you to artists in this genre, or search for artists in the upper right corner and see what genre they fall under.
https://clickclickclick.click This one is about privacy, see what a browser can track. If you don’t know much about pixeltracking, this one is a fun way to learn (and a little creepy hehe)
https://suno.com/create Create your own songs with an AI, just throw in lyrics, a genre, and you are done. A fun way to troll a friend by throwing in an old conversation
https://darknetdiaries.com/ Haven’t looked into this one myself, but these are true stories on the darknet, recommended by a friend of mine.
Clickclickclick is such a great eye opener. And I’ll definately will spend some time searching artists I like on Everynoise. Other two also added to my bookmarks for later viewing. Great links!
Came here to post EveryNoise. Absolutely incredible site that just fucking WORKS. Can’t believe I went as long as I did without knowing about it.
neal.fun definitely deserves a mention.
