Could be obscure hobby related or a useful underrated site.
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.
Any new philosophy or philosophy adjacent idea I discover and want a beginners level understanding over. Incredible stuff here.

The name explains it.

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.
ooh I AM in the market. Ty!
Now thats niche!
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.
Sounds really interesting, I’ll start working through his reviews
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
Can’t go wrong with looking around at the blogs and stuff at https://neocities.org/browse Lots of creative people with an interest in retro style website and blog design
I also like https://www.howmanypeopleareinspacerightnow.com/
And of course gotta mention the GOAT zombo.com
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.
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
People talking about Windows 98 and Pentium 3 processors all day long, feels just like home.
Am I completely out of the loop here or do I simply not understand, what is happening here?
Never have I ever felt so welcome.

a metaphor for the life of the mind
I spent the last 10 minutes of my workweek on this site.
Thank you.
