The Internet K Hole . A rotating collection of old snapshots (occasionally nsfw) presented without context. It's weirdly enthralling. You can lose hours and hours on that site.
Floor 796 is a… I’m not even sure what to call it. Mosaic doesn’t quite cover it. There are interactive parts as well. It’s an art piece featuring various pop culture characters together on a space station. See who you can find.
Rotten.com was known for horrible pictures of gore and whatnot, but also contained a collection of interesting, weird and insightful articles at /library. That site is gone now, but the article have been preserved at https://rottenlibrary.net/
That's gotta be the funniest way I've ever heard someone describe videos with titles like "woman sent to Chinese heaven by Car" and there is no hope for you whatsoever
rotten.com/library contained articles with text and images, not videos of people dying. The point was to inform, not to shock. It was pretty different from the rest of the website.
Yeah I got that, I'm saying it's giving "I read playboy for the articles"—playboy's articles were also CIA slop. Even a zine released by a music community I have released thru is CIA slop. I have even posted CIA slop
I'm not sure what the connection is between rotten.com and the CIA and what that says about me as a person, but maybe I'm just too far gone to understand.
Their gallery is (was?) in the basement of the Dedham movie theater, with a fake security cam taped to the wall, adjacent to a bathroom separated from the gallery by a thin wooden wall recessed from the gallery wall by a couple of feet. You could hear (and smell) the ambience as you perused the otherwise musty-smelling artwork. I hope it hasn't changed.
I miss stumbleupon browser extension, it would take me to the fucking coolest websites and crazy awesome stuff. Fuck the company that bought it out and trashed it.
I discovered this site because they wrote a JavaScript n-body gravity simulator as a side note for an article on iirc Cyclers. That's the level of commitment I expect from a particularly dedicated space enthusiast, not a journalist! Especially when it's not essential and a prominent piece in the story. Incredibly cool
They also have a podcast which I would recommend. Ain't got no time to read the long pieces* but having them stories read to me while I'm cleaning the house? You bet!
There's a couple really cool old anime forums I've found before. This one is definitely the coolest, but it's in French so I don't really understand very much of it: https://www.dessins-animes.net/
What do you mean by this "no one"? You mean, nobody at all or do you just mean nobody around me in real life?
If you mean sites I have visited that no acquaintance of mine in real life knows about then those sites would be: a few great pirating sites I use, pirating sites' indexes, SearXNG Instances, Arena.ai, Brave Search, Duck.ai, Lemmy, Mastodon, HaveIBeenPwned etc.

It's a website that randomly plays YouTube videos with no YouTube view (so in theory you are the first viewer)

A lot of this was found somewhere. Sometimes in a dumpster.
There are little back stories for each piece.
Enjoy.

I do not know what nobody knows. But I share my fav web that seem to be down now.
It is email from an asshole. You can search it, or available in archive.
