If you like to play chess, check out www.lichess.org
It's free and open source, and it's very easy to find a game there, no matter what level you play.
It doesn't display annoying ads.
It always makes me sad that chess.com was the site that blew up. I always had to convince my friends to use lichess when I played back in school.
Japanese chess is excellent too. Http://lishogi.org
A variety of neat activities and educational pages.
My goodness. I love this website's activities and educational pages. I really should be studying right now, but here are a few of my favorites so far.

Plenty more to check out!
zoo.replicate.dev - a bunch of free ai image generation models
snowfl - a search engine for torrents
Gayhomophobe.com it counts the time since the last openly homophobic figure was caught in a gay sex scandal
It's a list of all the good word games, minigames and puzzles on the internet, and you can customize it to shortlist your favorites and even add new links. I go there every day to link to all my favorites.
...oh, full disclosure: I built it. Though hopefully nobody minds, since there's no ads or monetization whatsoever.
http://wiby.me/ is a cool site. It's a search engine that only has web 1.0 and web 1.0-styled websites.
Oh my, this is beautiful. Brings me back to the glory days of the Internet -- when sites were quick to load, text was king, and you didn't feel your privacy was violated at every turn.
Ian's Shoelace Site:
Different ways to lace your shoes.
The Phrontistery:
Glossaries of, e.g., obscure words, lost words, etc.
Anytime I get new shoes I go to Ian's Shoelace Site to pick out a new lacing pattern.
And Ian's Secure Knot is a godsend for winter boots that usually have a bit thicker laces which come undone with a regular knot. Learning that knot is great because it's as strong as double knotting without needing to pick apart the knot afterwards.
Foldnfly.com - shows dozens of ways to fold paper airplanes.
www.thetruesize.com - Find the true size of one country compared to another.
There is this really cool place called Lemmy, I'm sure many people here have heard of it but not anyone I ask in other places. It's like Reddit, it's a forum-esque place where people can exchange their thoughts. The people are a little biased on the extreme Marxist side of things, but overall it's pretty nice.
We don't need this reddit-level comment here.
We did all (or most of us) come from Reddit don't forget. It's in our blood at this point.
Every music genre you can think of, and then some. I finally found out what the stuff I like is called.
I might’ve came across it from a post here on Lemmy, but this website is great for music discovery. It lets you listen to music by decade and country via a neat map UI.

Something that far too many managers and developers need to see, so they can better understand why their decisions and work completely sucks.
Is this like the digital equivalent of a million monkeys with a million typewriters?

It's not great by today's standards, but in the late 90's my friends and I found this to be the peak of internet entertainment.
I needed Unicode symbols for a story I'm working on. (I want to use them as "magic runes" so I could type them into a document, but without using the standard "runes" that are typically used.)
Shape Catcher let me draw what I was looking for and then get a list of Unicode characters that matched that drawing. It's not exact so if there's no perfect Unicode match, it will give you ones that are close. This actually turned out to my benefit as I found shapes I hadn't considered but which worked nicely for my uses.

The website for the Heaven's Gate suicide cult is still up, 27 years after they all killed themselves.

I'm pretty sure everyone on Lemmy is exactly 37 years old, and grew up with ytmnd

This website used to be pretty good/interesting about 15 years ago. It slowly lost it's appeal for me, however, due to various reasons. It was a closely guarded secret for quite a long time for me too.

Best place for long form history and science content with audio versions that is criminally underrated.
MetaFilter! It's an old-school text-only community blog that's been around since 1999. I love the variety and depth of posts on the front page, and the AskMetaFilter Q+A section is super useful.
