This is my favourite website
I spent the last 10 minutes of my workweek on this site.
Thank you.
Very niche here, but worth a look if you’re in the market for rechargeable batteries:
Crazy detailed benchmarks and technical analysis of flashlights, batteries, and chargers.
Now thats niche!
ooh I AM in the market. Ty!
Is there an article on there about which one was best?
No; there isn’t really a “best”. It’s dependent on what application the batteries will be used for. A high capacity, low current cell will be good for something like a remote control. For a high current draw device, you’d want cells that have low internal resistance / better current flow, likely at the cost of total capacity.
Any new philosophy or philosophy adjacent idea I discover and want a beginners level understanding over. Incredible stuff here.

My go to etymology website.
This is the website I never knew I needed
Fun fact: noone knows the etymology of 'dog'.
Super cool thanks for posting this
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
Well im definetely checking this while i sing a g l e t AGLET
I don't know if it fits, but congrats, you've just reached the end of the internet. There's nothing more to see.
Damn, it's been like what, 15 years or so, since I last visited that page.
I'm not down voting you because I disagree with your pick, but because this answer needs to be at the very bottom of the thread.
If this website ever disappears from the internet it will herald the end of the world.
You win.
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 was sticking with the 'one website'. Thanks for adding my second post. ;-)
Here's another: https://libgen.is/ - Library Genesis
Ripped old school 3D models
Wow, kinda makes me wish I had a purpose for these..
2D sprite sheets as well, no?

I love a good weblog with all kinds of link rabbit holes to fall down.
Also you can ring the fish doorbell and help release the fish: https://visdeurbel.nl/?fbclid=IwAR05zJk-mJiBIx5zq88S78E559cYHV-kkHOSM21MW1XX_e3jaqBfdTN-z30
Omg! The fish doorbell just made my day, thank you
Isn't that marvelous? I can't wait for spring.
Thank you for this, it fills a hole that I have been missing on the internet for a long time
I hope it's the fish doorbell you mean !

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
Incredibly niche! And funnily enough one Ive been on before.
People talking about Windows 98 and Pentium 3 processors all day long, feels just like home.
Well, Lemmy...
Curbside Classic a nice hobbyist site about Classic cars and related subjects. I go there every day, has a lot of extremely informative (but very niche) content
nice, do you know other such websites but about topics other than vintage cars ... i think our internet today has become too boring as most people just visit the same 5 to 6 sites (YouTube , reddit , wiki , insta , twitter , and twitch) and call it a day .... websites like these make me curious about the days when we had separate websites like these for such niche content
Cant think of anything off hand that niche that isnt car related. This site is much more general but has some great writing on it
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.
My god I havent been here in a decade or more, what a dedicated fellow!
There was a website where if no messages where not sent in 24 Hours it would die, I sometimes wonder if it's still up
This one?
Yes! Oh my god! So happy to find it again!
Self-explanatory
www.permies.com For permaculture and gardening
Yay Permies is wonderful! Such a great resource.
OP1.fun a neat little site for sharing OP1 synthesizer sounds and patches
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
It even translates yes or no in the language of the country you live in
Maille Artisans. I make chainmail jewelry and find many new weaves through this website.
Now thats the kinda thing im talking about! Thats great

Webradio is a lot of fun, it's allowed me to listen to music from all over the world. Here's a couple links:
The Library of Babel contains every permutation of 3200 characters pages, organized in rooms, shelves and books. It contains every work ever written by mankind, it contains the (brief) story of how you will die and of all the ways will not die. It is mostly gibberish but you can search for some pecific text. It's not yet completed as that would require all the pages to be combined na permutated between themselves, but there could literally be some new discoveries inside waiting to be read, and of course a whole lot of wrong knowledge
I remember finding a website once where you can create your own universe by clicking, dragging, etc and at some point it dies. I found it through Bored button. Hope to find it again.
There are a couple websites that display all of the US road signs approved by the federal government. Some cool stuff on there. Wikipedia does it too but I like the organization of the websites.
