You can do anything at Zombo.com. Anything at all. The only limit is yourself.
This is my favourite website
www.erdetfredag.dk
Translated: Is it Friday?
Displays yes on Fridays and no on other days
Jeg ville ønske, det var fredag 😩
Det er det i dag 😄
Det manglede da også bare! Jeg har gået og ventet på fredag siden søndag!
Very niche here, but worth a look if you’re in the market for rechargeable batteries:
http://lygte-info.dk/
Crazy detailed benchmarks and technical analysis of flashlights, batteries, and chargers.
Now thats niche!
Is there an article on there about which one was best?
No; there isn’t really a “best”. It’s dependent on what application the batteries will be used for. A high capacity, low current cell will be good for something like a remote control. For a high current draw device, you’d want cells that have low internal resistance / better current flow, likely at the cost of total capacity.
Sounds really interesting, I’ll start working through his reviews
ooh I AM in the market. Ty!

Any new philosophy or philosophy adjacent idea I discover and want a beginners level understanding over. Incredible stuff here.

The name explains it.

Pair it with sci-hub so you can actually read the whole articles and not just abstracts.
I was sticking with the ‘one website’. Thanks for adding my second post. ;-)
Here’s another: https://libgen.is/ - Library Genesis
Anna’s Archive does it for me. It’s so good!

If this website ever disappears from the internet it will herald the end of the world.
You win.

My go to etymology website.
This is the website I never knew I needed
Ha! I’be got a shortcut for that on my phone’s main page.
Saaaame, like every other day I hear a word and start guessing where it must’ve come from and then have to go check. Today it was cashmere (from Kashmir) got it right!
Ps if you’re into this kinda thing check out the podcast lingthusiasm.
OMG I thought I was alone! Have you tried the “Words for Granted” podcast?
Yessss thats another great one! Ray Belli is a good host.
Super cool thanks for posting this

To ZOMBO COM
Am I completely out of the loop here or do I simply not understand, what is happening here?
Anything and everything. The only limit is yourself. You can do anything at zombo.com!
I don’t know if it fits, but congrats, you’ve just reached the end of the internet. There’s nothing more to see.

People talking about Windows 98 and Pentium 3 processors all day long, feels just like home.
Niche hobby website from the 90s that’s both really useful and still updated (somewhat) - the Parker pen penography. Look at all those pens! Genuinely the most useful source of info on the topic of old Parkers that isn’t a big hefty coffee table book. Most of it probably isn’t too interesting to non-fountain pen people, but there’s some articles about the history of Parker and their decline that might be interesting if you like economics and buisness (like the one about the Itala
Incredibly niche! And funnily enough one Ive been on before.
Models-resource.com
Ripped old school 3D models
2D sprite sheets as well, no?
Wow, kinda makes me wish I had a purpose for these…
Curbside Classic a nice hobbyist site about Classic cars and related subjects. I go there every day, has a lot of extremely informative (but very niche) content
nice, do you know other such websites but about topics other than vintage cars … i think our internet today has become too boring as most people just visit the same 5 to 6 sites (YouTube , reddit , wiki , insta , twitter , and twitch) and call it a day … websites like these make me curious about the days when we had separate websites like these for such niche content
Cant think of anything off hand that niche that isnt car related. This site is much more general but has some great writing on it
