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.
Let’s you sort prepaid phone plans in the US. You can even sort by things like which carrier the mvno runs on or if it’s unlimited slow data after your allocation.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
