yo. where do you like to go on the internet?
name your favorite websites (better if niche), your favorite communities (again, better if niche), interesting instagram pages, interesting profiles to follow on any social media, podcasts, web forums, discord server, strange exotic communities, tumblr, horny stuff, videos, whatever. Don’t self censor yourself please!

One of my favorite sites: https://www.windows93.net/
There is also this one; it’s an actual genuine Windows 95 running on WASM in your browser
Running Win95 on a cell phone.
Damn thats wild! I remember I wished I could run Windows on a phone back in 00-ish instead of those crappy, brand-specific phone OS’s. What else was I gonna use a phone for, its not like I had anyone to call. Now I can.
ok this is cool
I had to find the author: http://jankenpopp.com/ and he is so creative and skilled. wonderful stuff, and great link, thanks!
This blog is incredible:
https://ciechanow.ski/archives/
There aren’t many articles, but the ones that exist have been crafted with EXTREME attention to detail and DELIGHTFULLY interactive animations. I would recommend the mechanical watch and internal combustion engine posts specifically to start. If you like knowing how things work, this guys blog scratches that itch better than like, anything else I have found for the specific things he makes posts about. Have fun, be prepared to kill a few hours.

Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute, it’s a neat website showing design trends in advertising, packaging, print, etc throughout the years.
I love blogs, specially from people with niche interests and experiences. I follow them via RSS. So that’s what I read outside of Lemmy / Reddit / Mastodon.
Recently I’ve been following the blog written by an IT guy working in a research station in Antarctica (also has a great domain name).
ahah wow thanks! how did you find it? the post about south pole signage is kinda hilarious https://brr.fyi/posts/south-pole-signage
I subscribe to the top submissions on hacker news via RSS: https://hnrss.github.io/
It’s 99% tech, but every once in a while you get an interesting post from a blog about something else. I then subscribe directly to the blogs I want to keep reading.
I’ve just been slowly curating my RSS feed for years. I like the high signal-to-noise ratio it provides me.
