You can do anything at Zombo.com. Anything at all. The only limit is yourself.

    Very niche here, but worth a look if you’re in the market for rechargeable batteries:

    The site that comes to mind is Ian's Shoelace Website. The ultimate guide about shoelaces. The most impactful/important thing for me was Ian's Knot, the fastest and most correct way to tie a shoe. I discovered this website in the mid-2000s and have been using his method since. Anyway, it's a fun and comprehensive website about shoelaces. https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknot.htm

    That's definitely https://noclip.website/

    I love retro video games (and current games). And some badass implemented the rendering of several games and consoles in JavaScript just for fun, so that you can explore levels from many games right in your browser.

    Note that I did say explore, not play. This website let's you fly the camera through the level like with a "no clip cheat" (hence the site name).

    It somewhat works on mobile devices in landscape mode (and maybe also "show desktop page"), but is best viewed and controlled on a PC.

    Pair it with sci-hub so you can actually read the whole articles and not just abstracts.

    I don't know if it fits, but congrats, you've just reached the end of the internet. There's nothing more to see.

    I love a good weblog with all kinds of link rabbit holes to fall down.

    Niche hobby website from the 90s that's both really useful and still updated (somewhat) - the Parker pen penography. Look at all those pens! Genuinely the most useful source of info on the topic of old Parkers that isn't a big hefty coffee table book. Most of it probably isn't too interesting to non-fountain pen people, but there's some articles about the history of Parker and their decline that might be interesting if you like economics and buisness (like the one about the Itala

    Drew's Script-O-Rama.

    He's been running the site since 95. I've been visiting since 96 or 97. I even provided the hardcopy for the Big Lebowski shooting script which he posted a few months before the movie premiered.

    When I I've exhausted my Subscribed (HOT) and All (Top 12 Hours) Lemmy feeds but still have the desire to scroll, I usually head over to Printables to look at 3D prints for a while... see what my printer will be doing for the next week. I really like the filtering options that model site has. Less often I'll do the same on MyMiniFactory
