I know this community is barely active from how I see it, but this is an account that has always creeped me out, and the fact that I haven't seen any big-name YouTubers covering it doesn't make it any better. I tried raising awareness about it elsewhere, but was almost always met with "nah, this channel is bullshit". I'm not a huge believer in premonitions, but there is just something about the channel that goes far beyond just coincidences.

The channel's name is Anti-Deception, and has been on YouTube since around 2011. The account is ran by a Christian from India who writes otherwise vague incidents that are about to happen in a certain country, for example murders, natural disasters, protests, etc. And when the certain "event" happens, the person will upload a video stating that a prophecy has been fulfilled. At one point, they uploaded a video demonstrating how a prophecy gets fullfilled from behind the scenes. It might not look like much, until you come across a Tumblr page ran

Obscure search engine designed around surprising you more than finding existing popular sites.

Building a community of safe, helpful researchers who can share advice, warnings, safety practices, and more, and we'd love to have you with us!

Ichi is a tiny internet community where people can create their homepages for free. These pages are listed on Ichi's index, allowing everyone to explore, discover, and engage with one another.

From the about page:

FEMICOM Museum is a physical and digital museum and archive dedicated to the preservation and reimagination of femme aesthetics and girlhood within twentieth-century video games, computing, and electronic toys.

There is so much energy in these photos! Is it just millennial nostalgia that makes me so jazzed about them?

Is there a name for this kind of thing? "GIF painting" captures something about how the GIFs are being layered and composited differently from ye olde Geocities, but maybe it should be "collage" to capture the aspects of reuse.

Anyway, it's a genre that's taking off on Multiverse and on mmm.page and I find it really interesting. Please feel free to comment with any you've come across and liked; the more artistic hubris evident, the better.

Did anyone else spend a lot of time listening to MIDIs back in the day? Past their proper heyday we still hadn't had internet fast enough to do much in the way of MP3s, so this is a very nostalgic sound for me.

A nice pairing for this link is MIDIjs, which is now necessary to get a MIDI going on a webpage. H/t Castle Cyberskull on that.

This place is full of weird and wonderful art. I recommend just randomly clicking through some videos.

A search engine that's optimized for surfing/discovery rather than finding specific information. Focuses on simple, non-commercial, hobbyist sites reminicent of the "old web" without much CSS/JS.

It's a beautiful little webpage that does not try to be any more than it is. The sound is a big part of it so if you can't check it out with sound on, maybe save it for later.

I truly believe this has real utility if you have been designing Professional Looking Web Products for long enough that you can't look at the possibilities flexibly enough any more.

(Is the metaphor coffee to cleanse the palate, or smelling salts?)

I can't tell you how annoying it is to start using one of these to run up against needing a cm7#9 and having it not have it. The paired drum machine is fun too.

I was alive for a couple of them, but I never had a Game Boy.

Try choosing a color palette with a range of values but unnatural colors and selecting the ordered dithering, 2x2 matrix. Isn't it nice? I wonder how hard it would be to do as a build step in a static site generator. (Oh, man, you could theme your image assets to match swappable site color schemes... has someone done this? Someone who cares more about swappable color schemes than I do should do this.)

I like using this search engine, not because it gives a lot of results, but because it is good for finding indepent sites that are normally buried on the >1 pages of search engines.

speak into the void.

Show me! Shouyu! Kikkoman!
