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.
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 used to have this as a live wallpaper. Drained my battery like crazy.
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.

Something that far too many managers and developers need to see, so they can better understand why their decisions and work completely sucks.
Every music genre you can think of, and then some. I finally found out what the stuff I like is called.
The only sad thing is it doesn't support https :(
Does it need to?
Yes. What if someone MITMs me and chops off the poor horse's leg?
A variety of neat activities and educational pages.
My goodness. I love this website's activities and educational pages. I really should be studying right now, but here are a few of my favorites so far.

Plenty more to check out!
I feel like 35 is too young to have completed 51/66 tasks in the life checklist. I'm too young for a midlife crisis (fingers crossed, anyways)!
Gayhomophobe.com it counts the time since the last openly homophobic figure was caught in a gay sex scandal
Unfortunately the list seems to have become unmaintained.
Yeah. I can remember seeing a homophobic politician being caught at an orgy in the news just a few months ago.

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.
Neal.fun ?
Are you asking or telling us?
Telling tentatively, and seeking upvotes for validation and self esteem.
I might’ve came across it from a post here on Lemmy, but this website is great for music discovery. It lets you listen to music by decade and country via a neat map UI.
If you like to play chess, check out www.lichess.org
It's free and open source, and it's very easy to find a game there, no matter what level you play.
It doesn't display annoying ads.
It always makes me sad that chess.com was the site that blew up. I always had to convince my friends to use lichess when I played back in school.
There is this really cool place called Lemmy, I'm sure many people here have heard of it but not anyone I ask in other places. It's like Reddit, it's a forum-esque place where people can exchange their thoughts. The people are a little biased on the extreme Marxist side of things, but overall it's pretty nice.
The people are a little biased on the extreme Marxist side of things
(and we like it that way, tyvm)
It's one thing to have a dominant demographic, but any place could do without a black and white mindset when they go about it.
Lol.
We don't need this reddit-level comment here.
realtimecolors.com
Live testing color palettes and fonts for web design. Made by a designer who's really great, she runs a YouTube channel and made the site for free use by anyone.
How accurate are the palettes? Would we need to calibrate our monitors or does the site do that for you?
I doubt the site is able to calibrate to individual monitors, as there's almost no way for it to know what you have.
Gotcha. So not too accurate for uncalibrated monitors then. Thanks!
