Beyond Wikipedia, what are some of your favorite online learning resources?

From time to time I find a dive into the Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy useful for refreshing my memory on some ideas and concepts.

Also the MDN Learning Area is really useful for getting a handle on some web development details.

What others are you fond of, whether esoteric or exoteric*?

:::spoiler * one of my other favorites is any sort of thesaurus that provides antonyms, 'cause some antonyms just aren’t as commonly used! :::

🤞 this federates properly this time (sorry if the old post eventually emerges, I initially posted this shortly after the Lemmy update kinda threw a wrench in things across instances)

droning_in_my_ears,

If you wanna read research there’s scihub. There’s also clinicaltrials.gov and retractionwatch.com.

Sometimes I get curious and search the origin of words at https://www.etymonline.com/

I swear 3/4 of the times I use a search engine is just “[random word] etymology”, learning the origin and evolution of words and language is so fascinating.

It’s straying close to Wikipedia, but Wiktionary is a useful resource as well.

TV Tropes

PM_Your_Nudes_Please,

Warning: Do not go to TV Tropes unless you have a lot of time to burn, and enjoy having 97 nearly identical tabs open at the same time.

axefaire,

My public library card works with Overdrive, so I use that to download ebooks and audiobooks

StereoTrespasser,

Seriously. Every time I see a post like this my first thought is to tell OP to go to the library. They will have a huge list of online resources that you can access for free with your card number.
