You might be able to find this website on Google, but if you are in the US, this can help you get the freshest produce. I use it all the time. snaped.fns.usda.gov/…/seasonal-produce-guide
Man, this made me remember that the win+period -window used to have a search bar in it. Loved it. Then suddenly I guess Microsoft thought that it was too convenient because it vanished.
It still -kind of- does, it’s just not super intuitive anymore. Open the menu, select the tab, then just start typing your search. The text you type will appear in the text field you were typing in before opening the win+. menu, but as you type it’ll filter the emojis and symbols down to the ones that match your input, and then replace your input when you click one.
This To That tells you what type of adhesive to use to glue different materials together. It’s handy for Halloween when suddenly you need to figure out how to attach vinyl to styrofoam or something (hot glue)
I agree it would be better if the site included brands from other countries too, but it can still be used as a starting point. I’m sure you could Google the item and figure out the equivalent where you’re from.
This time I landed on this cute little page for a married couple that posted newsletters and stuff for family and friends. Basically, they made their own Facebook page and bought a domain with their name and everything, been running it since like the mid 2000s it looks like. Even a whole ham radio section the husband put together. I was enjoying it till it became increasingly clear these two are fairly wealthy and I lost interest.
If you have a tendency to accidentally X out of your entire browser with all its tabs by an errant flick of the mouse, then this site as one of your tabs (need to click one for Chrome, as it notes) will have a popup asking if you're sure you want to close everything, letting you prevent that.
I must clarify one thing though for anyone reading this, it sadly doesn’t prevent browsers from crashing. Sorry to everyone who has Firefox or Opera as their main.
http://remove.bg is a website that makes removing backgrounds from photos or artwork a lot easier! I think it uses A.I or something, it’s been super helpful for me a couple times.
The first and foremost thing that comes to mind is the wayback machine. It lets you archive and immortalize any moment in a website’s history.
Though I may be cheating a little here because it’s actually a toolbar, another obscure, highly useful “website” is the Hypothesis toolbar. It adds a comment section to any webpage merely by existing.
On Hypothesis, only someone else logged into Hypothesis can comment, if that’s what you mean. If you notice someone on there with the name ThisInstrumentalBreak, that’s me (you may notice me having used it to comment on this thread).
It’s basically an interactive Python session using a Python interpreter compiled to WebAssembly and which then runs locally on your device via your browser without having to install anything on your end.
It’s very cool to check some calculation out very quickly on your phone or tablet.
Want to know something about published science fiction or fantasy? Forget Goodreads or Wikipedia bibliographies, the ISFDB has ridiculously comprehensive details about every book, author or magazine I’ve looked up.
I think this goes on some list I’ve started of old-style fecking awesome web pages that represent exactly what us old timers are talking about when we say the internet has lost something vital. No frills, community driven, information rich and dense web page producing long lasting value. Just compare this to some recipe page with flocks of ads.
I’ve been using squoosh.app a lot recently. Found it in a similar thread
EDIT: It is an image compression site where the images never leave your device. Or so the privacy policy says anyway. It took some tweaking, but i’ve had some images with an 80%+ size reducrion with almost no perceivable quality loss.
Idk how obscure it is but Paul’s Online Math Notes tutorial.math.lamar.edu are the best math guide I’ve ever had. It got me through an engineering degree
Taking a chemistry class? ptable.com is the best Periodic Table site by far, packed with info and ways to visualize the relationships between elements.
Interested in what class doesn’t teach you about the elements? Theodore Gray’s Wooden Periodic Table Table website has a ton of very high resolution shots of the best samples you’ll find, along with detailed backstory on where each one came from or how it was used.
