SEO has essentially destroyed search engines, what are some very useful websites that you might not get given by Google?
When I watch movies or TV shows, I constantly wonder how old an actor or actress is during the filming of it:
3d models of the human body, I use this a lot to troubleshoot which muscle I’m having tension/tightness in:

I don’t get it. It’s just pictures of helicopters.
What kind of helicopters? And yes, this is a genuine question.
always and still good jeez i need to order 10 year magazine subscription lol
This site lets you identify flags by color, shape, charges etc.
Jesus Christ that’s a lot of ads
Does it have a lot of them? I have a blocker so I didn’t know.
Opening it through an app with no blocker, yeah it’s a lot and very obtrusive too
I use Blokada on my phone. Works out pretty well for me, and they may service more than mobile devices.
Adaway if you dont like the turn they took with blokada 4 or 5, cant remember
You might be able to find this website on Google, but if you are in the US, this can help you get the freshest produce. I use it all the time. https://snaped.fns.usda.gov/resources/nutrition-education-materials/seasonal-produce-guide
Huh. Apples are always in season.
I did some searching and it turns out some apples survive up to a year in a controlled atmosphere, so they are fresh year round. Pretty nuts.
Yeah that seems a bit strange
I’ve been using https://squoosh.app/ a lot recently. Found it in a similar thread
EDIT: It is an image compression site where the images never leave your device. Or so the privacy policy says anyway. It took some tweaking, but i’ve had some images with an 80%+ size reducrion with almost no perceivable quality loss.
can you edit in a description of what it does? (I mean it’s pretty evident when you visit at first glance but just for others convenience)
in the mean time, for anyone reading, it’s an image compression site
Done, thanks for the suggestion. I forget things like that sometimes.
thanks :D
I’d also like to highlight TinyPNG. It does compress images pretty well and does batching of up to 20 images of 5 mb each for free.
And, of course, its counterpart SVG OMG with super fine grain controls.
It’s basically an interactive Python session using a Python interpreter compiled to WebAssembly and which then runs locally on your device via your browser without having to install anything on your end.
It’s very cool to check some calculation out very quickly on your phone or tablet.
Or if you want a full local Jupyterlab experience using the same WebAssembly tech: https://jupyterlite.readthedocs.io/en/stable/_static/lab/index.html (based on the JupyterLite project: https://github.com/jupyterlite/jupyterlite)
This is super helpful!
Taking a chemistry class? ptable.com is the best Periodic Table site by far, packed with info and ways to visualize the relationships between elements.
Interested in what class doesn’t teach you about the elements? Theodore Gray’s Wooden Periodic Table Table website has a ton of very high resolution shots of the best samples you’ll find, along with detailed backstory on where each one came from or how it was used.

http://remove.bg is a website that makes removing backgrounds from photos or artwork a lot easier! I think it uses A.I or something, it’s been super helpful for me a couple times.
https://favicon.io/favicon-converter/ - Convert an image to a favicon file in many formats.
https://ninite.com/ - Easiest way to set up a new Windows PC with the latest common applications without toolbars, prompts, or anything like that. Not necessarily obscure but I like to peddle it.
https://www.printablepaper.net/ - Need a check register? Graph paper? Lined paper? College ruled or wide ruled? Dot paper? Calendars? If it’s on paper, chances are you can find it and print it here.
https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/ - Need a good bedtime story? This site is best read right before falling asleep.
https://realfavicongenerator.net/
It’s very magical in that it creates a favicon for a website for nearly all major platforms and includes the manifests. You literally drag and drop and you got a pro configuration for free.
It’s great for developing for mobile apps, web, and PWAs all at once.
I like the last one. Have you read about the penis tree?
What tree?

FYI: Ninite has largely been superseded by Chocolatey
Another FYI:
wingetis usable if you wish to use a native solution. It has its shortcomings over choco, but usable.Winget is the best thing added to the windows ecosystem in a long time. I just wish it worked out of the box on Server :(
Though isnt chocolatey a paid service? Ninite is free…
I’ve used it for free for years
Nope, you can use chocolatey completely for free, even if you’re an enterprise! In fact, the choco CLI is FOSS.
They do offer a special “business plan”, which has special features for IT departments which they could find very handy due to their special needs when handling thousands of software updates at a time. But you as an individual probably have no need for those paid features, so you can use it for free :)
Chocolatey isn’t really made for the DIYer setting up their computer for a one-off install - for that I always recommend Ninite. Chocolatey is useful for enterprises and advanced DIYers though.
idk, it’s just one line to install every program you need and has a LOT more selection.
Ninite has like 20 programs to choose from, whereas Chocolatey has official and community repositories which are enabled by default and contain (as of writing this) 9872 programs. You don’t need to be a master hacker to use chocolatey. It’s literally one powershell command to install it, and then:
> choco install libreofficeAnd to update existing programs (something which ninite can’t do)
> choco updateI agree that Ninite might be useful for your 64yr old grandma who only uses Google Chrome and gets the spooks when she sees the command-line, but chocolatey is the go-to tool if you’ve got any needs more advanced than that.
“bedtime story” 🤣🤣🤣
SCP-7311 🥺
WAIT! Is the SCP wiki the inspiration for Control?
Definitely

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Good bot.
I’ve you use any music tech, or recording software, you can work out subdivisions with this online calculator: https://tomhess.net/Tools/DelayCalculator.aspx
You can’t mention Erowid without mentioning similar organizations like Dancesafe, MAPS and Bluelight. I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that I am only here today because of those sites. I am literally where I am today because of my time on Bluelight.
I’m in my 40’s. Erowid has been with me since I was a teen. I don’t really know about the rest, but ty.
I’m insanely confused.
Maybe they started on Erowid, took some stuff, and ended up there?
Maybe. Fair.
