For a long time, a tiny handful of sites, especially reddit and other social media and youtube, have dominated my idea of the internet, and I’d love to change that and find cool new places.

    Found some blogs tucked away here and there that are interesting:

    McMansion Hell - All about horrendous modern housing styles

    Things I Won’t Work With - A chemistry blog that is quite hilarious. Sadly there hasn’t been new one of these for years.

    I can’t think of others off the top of my head. For the longest time I was usually either on Reddit or Wikipedia.

    I’m starting to spend time browsing through neocities sites lately. It’s so refreshing seeing people just write about their lives or whatever else interests them without the whole social media dick-measuring contest. The amount of creativity that goes into the layouts is amazing too, you never know what the next site will look like.

      I loved Neocities as soon as I found out about its existence. It hits me square in my 2001 heart lol. I guess I missed that kind of thing more than I thought I did.

      I’m someone who just found out what Neocities is, and I am so delighted! Damn, people are so creative and fun with their sites! It feels so rad to click through whatever unique links and blogs they have.

      Thanks a lot for posting this.
