What's a website you've heard of (besides Lemmy) that you're sure nobody else here has?

I mean it's not good but https://jesus-is-savior.com/ is just rabbit hole upon rabbit hole. CW: gore, sexism, queerphobia, probably other bigotry
- The amount of insane content on that site is astounding. It was kinda nice how fast the plain HTML pages loaded though.
- I actually had seen one page from this site because it talks about how a niche religion is WITCHCRAFT and SATANIC, but that front page is a work of art.

If you want to see what various license plates look like from all of North America (as well as what they looked like in the past), there is a website that with a short URL. Strangely enough, the website never gone to https. The link is http://www.15q.net/
- I guess https isn't strictly necessary if you're not handling user input.
  There's still an argument to be made that https prevents malicious code from being injected in transit.

Woman got special government permission to go motorcycling in Chernobyl. She took pictures.
The site is still around.

A Girls World.
Back in the 2000s, a place for young girls. Articles, recipes, I think games? I edited articles for a bit. I use to be able to directly connect where I'd been online to there, in the sense of, "banner on website suggested this website and talked to people there which lead to this and then that and now to here" but my memory is bad now so I can't.
If it still exists I doubt it's anything like the original.

- Spent way too long solving a sliding puzzle. Love the pop up "Puzzle solved!" at the end.

There was a website I remember back in the early 2000s about a fictional communist Canada. It was hilarious and awesome and wish I could even remember what it was called…
- AI: It sounds like you might be thinking of "The People's Republic of Canada," a satirical website that depicted a fictional communist version of Canada. It featured humorous content, including fake news articles, propaganda, and other comedic takes on Canadian culture and politics.
  Also AI: The domain for "The People's Republic of Canada" was typically found at prc.ca. It was a humorous site that parodied a communist version of Canada.

Actually a useful site and from my friend's company! stremecoder.com
It's a graphical node-based platform to write and learn python

https://homestarrunner.com/
- You are sure that no one has heard of Homestar Runner on a website of technology savvy early adopters whose age averages in the 30s and 40s?

  it's so over
- Look at my pfp. :-)

Oh darn, it seems the website isn't up anymore. It was, to my knowledge, never archived and never properly indexed by a search engine. I have no screenshots, so it's basically lost media. All this to say it's unlikely anyone here has heard of it.
Well, it was an IWW split called the "International Workers of the World" (it seemed to be composed of at most 3 people). If my notes are right it was internationalworkersoftheworld.org (seems even DNS is completely dead now). Their webpage was simple HTML, from the dates it hadn't been updated in years, and most of the body was complaining about IWW internal politics, and people who had long moved on from the union.

PLASTERof PAradISe. It was one of the first websites I came across accidentally back in about 1995, I just checked and it still exists (on Geocities!) It’s a fetish site with links to every instance of movies, shows, books etc. with people wearing full body, arm and leg casts. I remember it even had episodes of the Simpsons where casts were depicted. “To each his own”, I guess!

The temple of the screaming electron
- Not obscure enough, cool site though! Used to post there and amateurpyro, mtbs3d and a few others

Browser based game with slidehopping. I like to call it the only non dead movement shooter.

There used to be a site called mingers.com
It was just pics of really ugly people
Obviously doesn't exist now!

There used to be a site in the 90s that was my go to for... anime research purposes, yeah. Vham.com.br if memory serves (Viciados em Hentai, Anime e Mangá), it has probably been offline for more than 17 years now.

For a loooong time I kept 'Amish Rake Fight / GFY' on a bookmark to send to people.
It was just a page with a middle finger saying 'Go Fuck Yourself' and a counter saying how many people have been told to go Fuck Themselves.
After a decade or so, there was a page added with hate mail & various threats....the owner I'm sure had lots of fun with it. AFAIK it stopped working about 5-6 years ago.

I have one I know for a fact y'all don't know about, but if I told you I'd probably almost certainly out myself on that site. So, no, sorry, not telling.

Some of you probably don’t know about http://www.oglaf.com/ but should, because sex and comedy go so well together.
