Something that far too many managers and developers need to see, so they can better understand why their decisions and work completely sucks.

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.
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
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.
No fucking way this is still around lmfaooo I remember being around 12 years old when my buddy first showed me this.
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”.

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
Basically a model viewer/freecam for stages from various video games. Really neat to see the tricks various devs pull to conserve detail.
Cool!

These websites were made to test out if your installed web browser is compliant with the worldwide web standards. It’s pretty neat stuff
Ironically they no longer work properly.
The timecube website was the peak of the internet

Edit:
Omg I found an interview with Gene!
That site is pure schizophrenia/dementia Jesus but it sure is interesting. Also sad. If you read the wiki it says he went to universities to do talks and would challenge people to prove him wrong. No one did.
How can you disprove a hallucination?
He gets really pissy and racist on page 2

Hey, since you know of this, is there any chance you’ve also seen the “moon is manufactured” website? Something about how it was a message, and intentionally designed because how else could it perfectly eclipse the sun. Haven’t been able to turn it up since about 2014
Missed that one! While trying to look it up I did stumble on a “scientist” who claimed, before the moon landings, that the moon was plasma and not rock. They couldn’t find him again for a follow up interview after the landing.
OG movie script/screenplay database.
Dudes been running this place since 95, which is doubly impressive that he never got popped for copyright shit. There was a pretty crazy stretch where he was releasing scripts before they were even produced. Like I got to read the actual screenplays for flicks like Intolerable Cruelty, Lost Highway (movie makes more sense as a screenplay, btw) and even Beavis and Butthead Do America before they even hit the theaters.
