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-studio
I 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)

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.
I didn't recognise the name but when I clicked I recognised it instantly, I'm astounded but happy this is still around
This is amazing!

Considerably more user friendly than Escape from Robotropolis was for me.

Other than everyone reading this, nobody really knows about Lemmy.
lemmy is really really cool.
It's just a PieFed clone. 🙃
It's been around for half a century and nobody knows about it. It's like a world wonder, a modern Library of Alexandria.

My new favorite 405 image
Been working in software engineering for 5 years now, I still look this site up basically any time I don't remember what an http code means
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.
It takes you to a random web 1.0 site that has somehow survived all this time.
And it led me to this site, a public voice-mail:
This is amazing, it took me to a US battleship website and then enrons website
A good chuck of these sites are autism special interest sites.
Hey, would you like every single schematic of Chernobyl with a through explanation? Sites like that are floating around in there.

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.

this is my favorite regeneration.org a bunch of issues our world faces with all sorts of different solutions
https://internet.nl/ that tests a bunch of security related things and gives your server a score. Great for checking a few more boxes.

mediaplate.au
I've been using it as my homepage. It allows you to search Google and other engines without AI summaries, it gives you your IP address and just enough weather info without being obtuse, it loads quickly, and has a timer, stopwatch, scratchpad and conversion table for imperial to metric ect.
If I tell you, then people will know about it, which is why I like it.
So tell us, then, so that you can like it even more!

despite being promoted on reddit quite a few times, nobody knows about lemmy. early on when reddit was banning on the explicit subs, some of us fled to an international forum that looks reddit, its relatively unknown, but it was discusisng "illicit stuff" i think it was an obscure canadia/EU sites, so the US cant force it to close down, sadly most of the people dispersed from that community long time ago.
another one as of recently is because of reddit bans, people fled to a forum that discuss how to evade it, and how they were banned from reddit.
Does Lemmy count?
I mean not in this thread, but generally yeah
I wouldn't say unknown, as it's a staple of the shortwave and ham radio communities, but websdr.org is a place where people stream software defined radio feeds from around the world. It's not like a traditional internet radio station where you have an audio stream of a single station. You pick an SDR server hosted by a volunteer, and then you're given a frequency input, modulation selection, and waterfall display as though you were listening to an actual shortwave radio.
I know it's well-known because Eastern European stations were swamped during Russia's initial invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
turnmeintoagirl.com is a greatwebsite for all those transfems that still dont know they are trans.
