zombo.com. Most people don't realize you can do anything there.
The only limit is yourself.
da fuq?!
Your first time? I'm jealous
html5zombo.com is better for modern browsers, now that Flash is dead.
There's no flash on zombo.com. Unless you want there to be.
Oh neat. I'm glad it got updated to remove the Flash element. Breaking that site was the real tragedy of Flash's shutdown.

Every music genre with examples.
I wish they had a song lookup in addition to the artist lookup. I have so many songs in my "liked songs" list in my Spotify and it gets difficult to try to organize them into moods and flavors.
Yes, have spent many happy wasted hours here. Good for music discovery.

Movies and tv series. Automatically streams from a good source. I've had zero stuttering so far.

12ft.io
if you see an article online but it asks for a subscription before you can read it, you can put the webpage of that article in 12ft.io and it'll give you a version you can read without such guards. The person who made it says there's a special code in those sites that doesn't block the article for search engines, as doing so would cause the google/bing/etc to block that result. So they just found that code and put it in a webpage for you
I get it. A 12ft ladder to see over the pay wall
I used it in the past but it stopped working for some sites.
I prefer to use archive.ph now.

Learn coding on a site that seems to get it right. Lots of information, multiple languages, and mentors to help you get past a difficult problem.
Fantastic site, highly recommended!
Wow, I'm in computer science 1 this semester and my instructor is not great at breaking things down. This may help save my semester!
If my comment helps a couple of people, I will be giddy for days lol.

This looks awesome! How is this free?
Donations of money, and time from volunteer mentors.
Just dug in some more and saw it's open-source too, and they teach you how to contribute. I'm in love.
I've been planning to learn Javascript and Python -- you just made my month!
I'm about 10% into the Python track. I'm digging it so far :)
Crontab generator was my gateway to all things 'generator'. Looking for a quick way to construct something? Google it + generator to see if someone has created a generator site for it.

Oh how I wish I knew this existed years ago! My standard procedure is to go to systemd's doc website and spend 10 minutes looking for the option I want.
You guys ever hear about this social media thing called Lemmy?
No, tell me more.
techdirt.com
News and analysis (and some biting commentary) on mostly tech policy stuff. Run by the guy who coined the phrase " Streisand Effect" in a post on that site, Mike Masnick. Very insightful, apolitical, and a good way for me to keep up on topics I don't normally follow too closely. Bonus: No annoying ads
You had me at apolitical.
No it has nothing to do with what it makes you think of and no I'm not sorry for ruining your work efficiency

Not really underrated but one that most people probably dont know, hackaday.com. Its all about hardware hacking, which is primarily people making stuff with electronics or making them do things they werent designed to do but they also have a whole heap of non electronics stuff. If you can make it, and its clever, it belongs there!
It's hard to comment without this being a NSFW post.
We all already know about cute hamster videos 😸
So, should I make a NSFW version of this thread when I'm off work?
If you would like to make an important contribution to internet culture, then yes, you should. 🧐
I am a fan of culture...
Yeah. I can always imagine 2 huuuge cultures! I'm absolutely a fan too!

Mcstories.com already has great content, but lacking search. This site just searches mcstories.
There's some bunch of stuff but also large collection of 88x31 GIFs. It is a nice static webpage.
