Lemminary ,

I miss old StumbleUpon! It was great for this. Someone recently introduced me to Flashpoint Archive and I have a hunch that there's a bunch of good stuff there.

Drummyralf OP ,

Ooh yeah, the Flashpoint Archive is an amazing resource! I've dabbled in it before. Great blast from the past!

Seat61.com is a must read if you plan on taking the train.

This question reminded me of 27b/6, a website with a collections of essays and email exchanges from the author that are like humourous, satirical and based on his life. I had a lot of fun reading them years ago and I remember that it was dormant for a while but coming back it seems to have new material.

Opafi ,

Oh god, I totally forgot about that one. I loved it. The content still seems to be great, too. Nice.

It's a map site that helps you identify places around the world. Google maps is so commerce-focussed, Open Street Map often lacks an explanation of what something is.

But it clearly has issues such as not licensing the background options so it has watermarks and popups.

Opentripmap.com is similar, but is probably just OSM data.

Wikimapia is great for "what's that wierd marking in the desert"-type questions.

I couldn't think of many less visited sites I usually go to often, but coalregion(dot)com is an interesting site I found using this Wiby search engine a long time ago. It's a site about a region in Pennsylvania. They have a section for recipes supposedly from that region along with a section for words/slang from that regions past. They got other things, but the dictionary and recipes interest me more than the other parts.

Vimm's Lair

Z2

A bunch of webcomics

Drummyralf OP ,

Whoa, Vimm's lair is amazing! I especially like that they also have scans of manuals from old games. I'm still missing some in my collection.

Z2 is kind of hard to find with Google. Do you mean z2comics?

Nemo ,

Thought it was z2.org but it's actually http://zzt.org

She's gone Ralf, she's gone. Let her go.

Drummyralf OP ,

I felt that in my soul.

ExtraMedicated ,

Someone on Lemmy posted a link to https://corru.observer a week or two ago, and I'm really enjoying the game.

Drusas ,

sci-news.com is pretty great for science news from a wide variety of fields.
