www.5minute.games
It’s a list of all the good word games, minigames and puzzles on the internet, and you can customize it to shortlist your favorites and even add new links. I go there every day to link to all my favorites.
…oh, full disclosure: I built it. Though hopefully nobody minds, since there’s no ads or monetization whatsoever.
This is really great! Thank you for this!
You’re welcome. Note the settings button, which gives some nice customization options. Feel free to share it with folks who might also enjoy it. :-)
Bookmarked this! Going to come in handy over the holidays especially. Thank you!!
Something that far too many managers and developers need to see, so they can better understand why their decisions and work completely sucks.
Send to Bottom
Help Bar Descends at the most pain inducing rate possible
Every step of the way has some new frustrating way to confound the user. I was laughing/crying halfway through the process because of how stupidly unfriendly the design was. Just brilliant. Whoever did this is an evil supergenius and/or heavily into BDSM.
Sent it to my partner who wants to get into Ux design, lol
I love and hate this, it really managed to raise my blood pressure.
I needed Unicode symbols for a story I’m working on. (I want to use them as “magic runes” so I could type them into a document, but without using the standard “runes” that are typically used.)
Shape Catcher let me draw what I was looking for and then get a list of Unicode characters that matched that drawing. It’s not exact so if there’s no perfect Unicode match, it will give you ones that are close. This actually turned out to my benefit as I found shapes I hadn’t considered but which worked nicely for my uses.
I use it for background when I need to concentrate.

Photoshop in your browser for free: https://www.photopea.com/
Another website with a similar goal: https://jspaint.app
It’s a M$ Paint clone and I use it because I don’t have Windows.
If by that you mean “I use Linux but can’t stand GIMP” then Pinta is pretty good as a simple photo editor. More advanced than Paint but not as unfriendly as GIMP. If you’re familiar with Paint.NET on Windows then you’ll feel right at home.
I also used Pinta but don’t remember what worked for me, Pinta or Krita. I use one of them mostly for making icons transparent. I just thought I’d also drop JSPaint here, that was the first one I found.
The website for the Heaven’s Gate suicide cult is still up, 27 years after they all killed themselves.
I wonder who’s renewing the domain? I guess I could do an ICANN lookup for registrar info, but I’m lazy.
I saw in a documentary that a few of the cult members were ordered to stay alive to keep the site up. Apparently you can email them and talk to them too.
💀 imagine being told as the IT team for the suicide cult that your job is to tirelessly maintain a site and renew the domain and SSL cert for eternity and provide Q&A
I’ve actually seen this used in movies and TV shows.
It’s better than just showing jquery source code or html
No fucking way this is still around lmfaooo I remember being around 12 years old when my buddy first showed me this.
This is my favourite website ever. Don’t forget to visit the archive. The quality of this authors posts is astronomical. The way they explain extremely complex Systems in a simple and visual manner is absolutely brilliant.
I think the first post I found was the clock one and it’s still my favourite
I used to have this as a live wallpaper. Drained my battery like crazy.
Man, that’s like saying “when I’m driving my car, whenever I pull up to a traffic light I drop it into neural and floor the throttle”.

Ian’s Shoelace Site:
Different ways to lace your shoes.The Phrontistery:
Glossaries of, e.g., obscure words, lost words, etc.Anytime I get new shoes I go to Ian’s Shoelace Site to pick out a new lacing pattern.
And Ian’s Secure Knot is a godsend for winter boots that usually have a bit thicker laces which come undone with a regular knot. Learning that knot is great because it’s as strong as double knotting without needing to pick apart the knot afterwards.
The what???
http://wiby.me/ is a cool site. It’s a search engine that only has web 1.0 and web 1.0-styled websites.
Foldnfly.com - shows dozens of ways to fold paper airplanes.
www.thetruesize.com - Find the true size of one country compared to another.
FYI the bottom link is broken (but it’s easy enough to get there, lol)
Very entertaining.
If you like this, you might enjoy 5minute.games, a list of lots of little games like this. Nonograms is one of the sites listed, and I keep it on my shortlist. Though I don’t have patience for more than a 15x15 B/W puzzle.
