General Websites
If you think like me a little, you probably agree that the internet is now just full of shit. 90% of it's crap now.
These are a few sites that I believe fit into that 10% of actually interesting stuff.
New Scientist
The world most popular science magazine is online! Check it out for daily reports and articles on groundbreaking discoveries in the scientific community... Very, very interesting... If you don't wish to subscribe to the magazine, you can read it all online.
F*ckedCompany.com
FuckedCompany.com is a game based on the classic deadpool, but instead of betting for (or against) people, you're betting on companies. The lines are a little blurred when dealing with companies because there is rarely a clean-cut death. To make up for this, FuckedCompany.com rates different levels of a company's demise and awards points based on the level of severity. See official rules for more information on scoring. FuckedCompany.com has also pretty much turned into the source for news about dot-com companies. Bad news, that is. A bloody funny site...
SatireWire
SatireWires intent is to write their site by holding (or possibly subjecting) the businesses and technologies of the New Economy to time-honored satirical standards, albeit often in new and unusual ways.
How Stuff Works
An amazing site!! Always wondered how something works, but never really found out? Well... at last a site that is truly educational and interesting! Everything you've always wondered about everything is here.. From Blue Screen technology to Smoke Detectors.. Amazing! I seriously suggest you visit this site.. Very, very interesting.
StickDeath
Well... Do you find crude animation and/or death amusing? This page has a series of stickmen who undergo different causes of death (e.g., hit by bus, car, sliced by a chainsaw). The animation's are absolutely pathetic - I found that the subject matter is not funny at all, rather, the fact some looser actually wasted time creating this shit... Have a look anyway! Check out the mail sent in by other web visitors - they burn the creator of the site to the point of hysterics... damn funny.
The illustrated guide to breaking your PC
Ever wondered exactly what your PC would look like in about a million pieces? Wonder no more with this illustrated guide to doing it yourself! Yes, we have photos of someone who would most assuredly breeze it as a freak, taking chunks out of his keyboard with a disc grinder, and finding what interesting patterns can be made with glass etching equipment on his monitor. The design of the site is pretty poor, but then who really cares when it's this good.
The Onion!
Finally a proper online news site - wait a minute.... At first glance, start reading through, and you'll soon be rolling around in your chair, suffering the most potent bout of hysterics you'll have known in ages.
Newgrounds
School shootings, crime, anarchy, etc... It's all in America. OK - so it would be a little harsh saying that America's society is really fkd up..... all countries have problems. In the case of America, why not make fun of it! Newgrounds covers all the problems in Amer
ica, bends them and add a bucket of humor, all there at your disposal - enjoy.
Red Meat
Do you find gratuitous violence appealing? Well then get to Red Meat... the old comic about the bus clearing out a bus stop full of people should make anyone laugh.. If nothing else does.
I'm Bored!
Sitting on the net, and bored out of your damn mind? Got no friends on ICQ or no friends at all? I'm bored is for you - although it doesn't have a hell of a lot content wise, it has plenty of categorized links, leading to more links on whatever subject. This is great for those times you're so bored you think your gonna sleep.
Misheard Lyric Archive
Have you ever been watching your favorite music video, singing it at the top of your lungs, wondering why people around you started laughing? Yes that's right, you've been singing wrong all those years. Check out this site - Share you ultimate stupidity at Kiss This Guy, names after perhaps the most famous misheard lyrics of all time.
SETI@Home
The SETI Program (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) has been going on for years although the US and anyone else involved generally keep a bit quiet about in case they actually find something. Now you too can be a part of the great search using SETI@home. You download a free program which analyses radio telescopic data that may possibly lead to finding new civilizations. Need convincing? Read "Contact" by Carl Sagan.. :D
Digital Blasphemy
This site rocks! You sick and tired with your current desktop pattern! Well then... Just pop over to Digital Blasphemy and download one of many really cool 3D rendered backgrounds!! Very sweet indeed....
Tech Tales
Anyone who is a computer genius would know that the people who made this site have none at all. This site contains thousands of posts by tech support people around the globe telling everyone about their funniest calls from the stupidest people! Some of the highlights are the people who thought you actually had to open windows when he was opening Windows, and you can't beat a women who thought a CD-ROM drive was a cup holder! Next time you ring tech support, spare a minute and realise what the tech's have to go through on a day by day basis.
The Darwin Awards
The idea behind the Darwin Awards is this: They are commemorating those who douse the gene pool with chlorine by finding innovative and moronic ways of killing themselves, thereby helping to eliminate undesirable weaknesses from the gene pool. Aside from this it's just a great excuse to laugh at someone else's expense. The site is full of hilarious stories, my personal favorite is the one where a guy injected cocaine into his.. nether regions and couldn't, erm, deflate for three days. End result? An internal explosion that rivaled the Victorian gas explosion. You'll laugh all the way as you read through this site.
The Death Clock
A quick site for when you've got a minute to spare. Deathclock will calculate the date when you (on average) should die. You can also choose if you're sadistic or not which is great for people like me.
Bert is Evil!
This site has built up a cult following over the years and unless you're really new to the net then you will probably have been there at least once o
r twice. The whole premise of the site is that Bert from Sesame Street is actually evil, and has "Evidence" of such a theory being true. All things aside, it's not badly done at all, and you could probably mistake most of the photos for being real, and it's defiantly a laugh for someone who is feeling down.
Self Discovery Workshop
Hmmm, how smart are you? There are heaps of crap IQ tests floating around the net claiming to be "exact replicas of the professional tests." This site has a genuine IQ test which is fun to do and gives you a fair idea of how smart you are. It even offers a full breakdown of what you did. Something educational on the net..... strange.
Farts.com
Juvenile behavior is always fun when you've got nothing to do, and this fits the bill nicely when you've got nothing else to do.
Yes, download your favorite fart and compare them with your own, have competitions around the world via e-mail, send your own farts in and become world famous because of farts.
LANparty.com
Cold pizza can only be enjoyed while enjoying an early morning. Lanparty will help everyone out with their Local Area Network (LAN) parties. There is heaps of detailed information about where you should have your LAN, what sort of hooligans you should invite, what games are cool and generally what makes the difference between an awesome deathmatch experience and a total disaster.
Doodie.com
Tom Winkler used to be an animator for 'The Simpsons' now he has this website to which he adds a new animation every day, most of which are hilariously funny. Beware though, this is toilet humor at its finest (or poorest). Weather you think it's disgusting or not, you'll most likely find most of the animations will have you rolling on the floor in hysterics. He also keeps a few previous days animations so you can go back and see what you have missed.
User Friendly
If you are/were into comics, this site will bring back some great memories. User friendly is all based around Columbia Internet and the people that work their as well as "Mischievous" artificial intelligence and a "Dust Puppy" user friendly and fantastic, just about every single strip is funny and even though they are text only the writing brings it to life.
Am I hot or am I not?
This site is rather funny. What you do is look at photos of men and women and rate them on a scale of one to ten, or submit your own picture to be rated by others. Most of the pictures are pretty poor... it a good laugh though.
Book-A-Minute
The site Book-A-Minute understands that your time is valuable. They want you to experience the wonder and excitement of the fine art of literature, but removing the problem where reading actual books requires a significant time investment. Book a minute is more humorous than possibly useful... It contains ultra-condensed books are just the ticket... Read a whole Shakespearean play in less than 3 seconds... Check it out!
Lifes unanswered questions
Well what can I say? Bored.com have created a huge list of lifes unanswered questions... quite interesting (as well as funny)!
Murphy's law of the day
Everyone knows Murphy's famous laws.. Like if something can go wrong - It will go wrong etc... Well this site contains a rather lengthy list
of today's well know Murphy's laws, not to mention a law of the day... Worth checking out.
Optical illusions
The guy who created this site has one of the best collections of optical illusions I have seen on the net! Optical illusions are quite interesting to me. He has a total of 27 illusions divided into nine different collections. So sit back and relax, and you will be AMAZED!!!! Ever seen a square with bent (rounded) sides?
MIDI Database
As much as we think the old .mid files are dead and gone.. I run into this site... Mididb.com contains a huge array of midi's of the latest and past songs.... Worth checking out if you have a good sound card with nice wavetable synthesis...
Download.com
A site that I have somehow missed until now, a fantastic place for everything you'd ever want to download. Kinda... |
