I’m old. I was an adult when the internet first started. And this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen online. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! I was an older teenager when the worldwide web started taking off in '94 — is that what you mean? A lot of people associate the Internet and the WWW, but IIRC the first email was sent in the 1960s. I’m getting old. Sometimes I feel old, sometimes I feel young. As a gamer, I try to stay current with tech, but while I like some modern games, I’m having so much fun catching up on 360/PS3 and 3ds era gaming. Like my wife got Animal Crossing for the Switch, but I’m enjoying the 3ds version more. It’s a bit older, a bit uglier, my girl has hair like Claire/Molly Ringwald in Breakfast Club, but it’s okay, I’ll unlock the hair salon eventually.
This is triggering habbo hotel nostalgia for me
right? had the same thought immediately. the whole page is art.
I didn’t recognise the name but when I clicked I recognised it instantly, I’m astounded but happy this is still around
This wins the internet for today.
Did you throw popcorn into the black hole?
Of course!
Haha, that’s so bizarre but wild and fascinating.
Noooo don’t look at the NSFW camera in the shower!!!
Book marked 😘
Thanks for this. That site’s dope.
Yo that techno Viking is spot on. Nailed the point and the moves.
Found Waldo!!
Thanks for reminding me about this – such an astounding work of art.
this is so cool
Neat!
This is amazing!
Poor Gimli…
Other than everyone reading this, nobody really knows about Lemmy.
lemmy is really really cool.

piefed? never heard of it
It’s just a PieFed clone. 🙃
I’m not saying it’s the coolest, but I made a thing to scratch an itch that others may enjoy. I modeled it after something I found a few decades back that I never found again.
Forgot to mention it is available as a tui too.
cargo install rhuidean-studioI have absolutely no idea what this is or what it’s supposed to do but it’s incredibly fun to poke at
Kinda reminds me of strudel repl
It’s like a completely different way to create music (even though, idk if OP intended it to be for that)
yo, i know nothing about music but this is cool as fuck
That was fun! 😁
Perfect 4th with linear velocity starts to cascade before they all reconverge with a big bleep. That was my favorite.
The craving of that big bleep is what got me to finally do this. It is so satisfying when they all converge. With multiple subdivisions and the convergence lines on, it is even better.
Oh that is cool! It makes stars and trippy fan blade patterns. It’s neat you can share the link like that to share the patterns too.
It’s like a kaleidoscope that also works for the ears. 😁
Okay that’s ridiculously cool lol
This is fun!
Amazing, thanks 🙏🙏🙏
That’s so cool! The name is a nice reference, too
nice! gave you a star on gh :)
https://windows93.net/ - Some mad lad implemented a custom parody version of Windows 95 that has a bunch of working applications and emulators. Also, check out !internetisawesome@sh.itjust.works for a lot of similar sites.
This used to have an integrated Myspace clone. It was so cool and I miss it dearly. My page
I have loads of questions, like why does this exist, and why is there a fucking karaoke player with licensed tracks on this parody?
Learn how a computer works by building your own from scratch.
Saving this for later! As someone who knows more about software than hardware, this sounds interesting!
I tried it but the game is kind of confusing cause it uses relays instead of transistors. I think it’s more frustrating and would only discourage potential learners.
A better way to get a solid grasp on low-level hardware logic is to just build an eight-bit breadboard computer. Here’s a tutorial: https://eater.net/8bit
I’m working on it now. I’ve only done the first module so far and I’ve already learned so much.
That is only the very first level. Afterwards it switches to gates.
Good to know. I think once I learn how the relays compare to transistors, I can probably figure out the first level.
I just tried it and it’s so much harder to understand than just playing around with transistors on a breadboard.
Like, I can easily make a nand gate with a couple NPNs and a PNP. But I couldn’t figure out what they wanted me to do with those relays, so I didn’t get past the first task.
Sure, building your own breadboard computer is much better than playing with some website… However transistors and relays are kind of similar in function, they both gate whether current flows.
If you are already familiar with transistors, then I agree those are a simpler introduction, however most regular people don’t know anything about a transistor, and they seem a little bit magical.
A relay however can be grasped by most people just by looking at it in operation. Magnet attracts… Electromagnets only attracts when powered… wire doesn’t conduct when not connected… Wire does conduct when connected… Electromagnet can pull or push wire to either connect or disconnect…
If you want the solution for the first task (building a nand gate with relays), you can see my solution here:
spoiler
Okay, without reading the spoiler:
Does the inductor lead function like the switch on the transistor?
And the two relays: default (on) and default (off): is default (on) like the PNP transistor and default (off) like the NPN?
I think with those two bits of information, I can figure it out. But last night I didn’t have the patience to figure it out by trial and error.
You got it 😉
I went through all the units. They were interesting, and I definitely learned a bunch. I probably won’t remember it all right away, but I at least have a better idea of the overall picture. It’ll be reinforced as I continue my breadboard project, but also supports my theoretical understanding of that project. So I’d say it was worth it.
Imagine my surprise when I got to the end and realized there are multiple paths that branch off from there into new units 😱
It seems the learning shall continue…
Good luck with all the learning 😉 sounds like a fun journey!
Considerably more user friendly than Escape from Robotropolis was for me.
It’s been around for half a century and nobody knows about it. It’s like a world wonder, a modern Library of Alexandria.
Not sure how known these are, but it’s similar.

Librevox! My love!
Project Gutenberg predates the internet. I still remember how their goal was to give away one trillion ebooks.
Project Gutenberg is still around, so I won’t say this is an example of the internet getting worse. But I loathe how it’s come to focus on damnable social media like there’s nothing else of worth out there. Social media, among other things, filled the air with noise that starved many worthwhile projects of attention.
Amd you can download them all as a ZIM
There is a modern Library of Alexandria, just fyi, it’s pretty fucking dope.
To figure out what type of adhesive/glue you need to attach x material to y material
It’s the weirdest shit I’ve ever seen. Before I get into it, I want to point out that I’ve been using this site for years, since before LLMs were a thing, so this is definitely not generated by AI.
It’s just like, generic outline drawings of things. Objects, people, places, everything.
So sometimes I like to draw, and I need a model to work from for the pose and the proportions, and this site has a ton of them. Child kicking a ball? Yes. Adult man sitting on a bench? Several options to choose from. Woman carrying a box? Three different poses.
Pointing, pushing, protesting, thinking, vacuuming, raising one’s hand to summon a waiter in a restaurant, it’s all there.
I’m sure there’s some kind of industrial use for it, like for diagrams or blueprints or something, but then we get to the descriptions. Like on the page for people carrying boxes, it says:
People lift boxes either in their personal lives or at work. People lift boxes to move residences. Mailmen or delivery truck drivers lift boxes everyday as part of their job. Some jobs may require their applicants to be able to lift a certain weight of box. When lifting boxes, it is important to lift with your knees instead of your back to prevent back injury.
Then there’s always three questions, which they provide answers to. For carrying, those questions are:
What is a carry on bag?
What is carrying capacity?
How much can a horse carry?
Why? Whom is that for?
Under the pictures of elderly people it asks things like “What are the best exercises for maintaining mobility in seniors?” and “How can seniors adapt their homes for safety and accessibility?”
Is this for dolphins? Did a dolphin learn to read English, and they want to understand human society?
I’m struggling to find the weirdest examples, because honestly it’s the breadth as well as the depth. Someone clearly put a ton of work into this, and I love it, but I don’t understand it.
Alright. I figured it out. This is for aliens trying to understand us.
But they’d have written it in alienese. That’s why I say dolphins - without a formal writing system of their own, they’d naturally default to a human one for the purpose of studying humans.
What if they wrote it in english cuz ofcourse aliens have english to alienese translator.
I think it’s for n-dimensional beings trying to understand lower dimensional existence
Super cool! Clickable URL: https://www.dimensions.com/
Was my link not clickable? It looks clickable on my browser.
It’s not on the app I’m using, I assume the browser just generates a link for every URL-like string while the app doesn’t necessarily
Hide this from Skynet.
Are these downloadable as stp files?
I think they’re only 2D.
Ah yes I see that now.

It’s always fun to scroll, scroll, scroll, and then tap the light speed button in the lower right corner.

A free text-based RPG browser game with a unique sense of absurdist humor.
Came here to post this, it’s probably my favorite game
cool, i love the other 2 “Loathing” games, but didn’t know there was a third one and it’s free too!
Kingdom is the first one, actually. It’s got a surprising amount of content, it’s designed to be played over and over again continuously.
West and Shadows are both designed to be standalone games, you don’t need to have played Kingdom to understand them, but they’ve got fun nods to players that have.
Don’t forget Mr. Card Game!
(it’s actually pretty okay to forget Mr. Card Game, it’s not great)
this is my favorite regeneration.org a bunch of issues our world faces with all sorts of different solutions
Thanks for this. It seems to have something for everyone, and the idea of punch lists sounds like what’s sometimes missing to get from concerned / informed to actually effective.

Streaming radio from around the world: Radio Garden
Best language lessons short of full immersion: Language Transfer
Don’t know if it’s still around and can’t remember the domain, but there was a site called World Radio Network that rebroadcast shortwave radio from around the world. Also great for language learning. The Polish Radio Service and Vatican Radio even had programs in Esperanto. A Finnish station had a Latin program, and of course so did Vatican Radio.
Ive loved radio garden for a few years now. Its so fun to just click a random city in the world and just listen to whatever they are doing. I remember randomly listening to a music station from some island above scotland for an entire day and came out of it with like 10 bands i had never heard of before that are now a part of my rotation.
It’s still the same same as it was almost 30 years ago and is an example of both how websites used to look and also shows how much more functional things used to be when implemented well, inspite of modern aesthetic evolutions
