you know what I'm talking about, even if the wording is a bit awkward. the "below the iceberg" shit you have to be decently online to find without previous recommendation from a friend. looking to sinkhole a few months or so.
I'm trying to remember the specifics but wasn't there a dude who dug in super hard about not being able to read a calendar?
Here's that thread. Remember: eat clen, tren hard, anavar give up.
Every couple years I reread the groverhouse thread and its always funny
mine personally is worm aka parahumans, if you haven't heard of it, it's a 1.5 million word (with a 1.9m word sequel!) superpower scifi web serial fiction about anything and everything spiraling out of control because people make consequential decisions that seem to be good in the moment
read pale !! its wibblebobs latest work and I like it more than anything else he has written
parahumans is like the only 'capeshit' (superhero stories) ive ever actually liked, seconding this one.
If you liked Worm, I also recommend Worth The Candle, a deconstruction of portal fantasy (isekai), D&D tropes, harem tropes, and like a billion other things. Creative and intense action scenes (that don't stick around long enough to drag), characters that feel like they have a lot going on in their heads, indulgently detailed worldbuilding. Seriously one of the best things I've ever read. Downsides: a billion content warnings (handled respectfully, but it's fucking awful), and kind of weak opening chapters.
didn't expect to come onto chapo and see parahumans referenced, hell yeah.
Honestly that whole series is the best hero/villain shit i've ever seen
One time some Indian tech firm on Fiverr asked me to fix a Python script but told me they didn’t have any tests because everything was too coupled so I had to just log into their server and do it in production so they gave me a login to an Amazon server that did not look like a regular AWA setup and in retrospect I’m pretty sure they were either subsubsubcontractors for Amazon or hackers which explains why they never paid me
I love looking through old pro boards, dvdvr, czwfans, and google wrestling groups from the 90s-early 00s. Fans have always been the same as they are now ("The Rock can only cut promos, his wrestling sucks." "Stone Cold was better 3 years ago, he can't go anymore." " ECW fans are all marks." etc.). Shows how much everyone likes to complain.
Also, i don't do it anymore, but when i was younger i'd get myself into forums and chat rooms for cults. It was entertaining for a while, until you start seeing a ton of posts going "Brother _______ has ascended" and it just keeps going and going. Got out of it when i saw read someones post minutes after they had killed their family. Now i just download manuals for industrial equipment to read for fun.

shit like this is literally why all of us are on this thread. You have to expand, provide some links. I don’t wan to sleep tonight.
The main cult i'm thinking of is Church Universal and Triumphant, but it might be someone else. Here's a few places where i would find cults, then work my way backwards to track them down:
:reddit-logo: thread that was pretty interesting to read a few years ago.
Sorry for not being able to find any juicy threads, my buddy who used to go on them regularly said a bunch got shut down in the early 10s, around the time Rotten went down. The guy killing his family got that site shut down too (i think it was a german site).
I'll try to find the forum. This would've been back in 2010, i think.

I'm mashing both of these together and choosing to believe you are Chavo Guerrero and you received the infamous "the dogs are in the enclosed pool area" sms.
I check into hotels under the name "Kerwin White" so i can dodge the bill.
if it ain't White, it ain't right
Vince wrote the Trump presidency angle confirmed
theres this dude that made an entire library of every state formation ever and noone knows about it. theres like 50 entries in ghana alone. bruh; https://www.worldstatesmen.org/CONTENTS.html
Holy shit that is some beyond-the-pale stuff, I can’t imagine making that my “thing”
It does kinda remind me of this site http://www.weddslist.com/rmdb/gindex.php
It’s got tons of petty pictures to look at, and I like math so it’s a dope website I can kinda understand. I come across it every so often when I’m thinking about stuff.
I’ve never seen this page before, and it it’s actually a nice read to get into the “catalogue and put on the internet” mindset
http://www.weddslist.com/groups/thoughts/thoughts.html
If I ever met the person who maintained these math pages I’d tell them they kick ass
https://www.futuretimeline.net/ is cool and not as doomer as some future predictions. Has lots of neat descriptions and goes all the way to the end of the universe.
By 2050, "traditional" free market capitalism is largely viewed as a broken system.
As more and more wealth trickles upwards to the hyper-rich elite, there is a growing consensus that money itself – the profit motive – is a major obstacle to future progress, and a new driving force may be required for civilisation to flourish.:sicko-yes:
Atomic Rockets. Massive essays on every hard sci-fi spaceship and world building concept under the sun, with lots of science, lots of math, and glorious web 1.0 formatting.
Spirit Science. This guy believes basically every conspiracy theory and new age thing out there. Link is his magnum bogus: an hour long cartoon about the history of the world, feat Martians, Jewish Aliens, and a whole lot of psychic nonsense. It's wildly creative and fun, with only a small downside of this guy actually believing these things.
href.cool. Catalog of small, single-purpose websites of high quality. A place where you can find a ranking of emoji scissors based on whether they close or a a taxonomy of bread-ties that pretends they're animals.
I learned about spirit science through oneyplays, I like to whip it out sometimes to mess with people at parties.
the fucking chatlogs read like pesterlogs my brain is rotten
edit: okay wow my brain is rotten as fuck this radiates homestuck vibes holy shit
I love Japanese geocities sites from the late 90's thru the mid aughts. Some of my favorites are home pages with web 1.0 blogs about mmorpg games the author plays. They have tons of links usually to other sites and you can get lost looking through them.
that sounds really cool! can you post some links to your favorites?
I don't really have much of them bookmarked but here's some:
https://web.archive.org/web/20010802113112/http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-SanJose/9606/zg/ <<< A site about zangband
https://web.archive.org/web/20100223203331/http://www.geocities.jp/frnyanko/setsumei/index.html <<< A site about Famicom games
https://web.archive.org/web/20000416082950/http://www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~sasaken/nhlinks.html <<< Links for home pages about Nehack
So just poke around those sites and try to find anything with more links out, that's what I do.
game six of the 2002 NBA Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Kings was rigged,
I don’t know why people say it since I didn’t follow Mba at the time and haven’t really dug into this game but all I know is that everytime I read discussions on it people say it was rigged. Like there’s a mear unanimous consensus on it.
the MLB keeps changing the way their balls are made to keep player salaries lower
That’s a good one.
I don't really get why altering the balls would give MLB leverage to lower salaries? Maybe I just didn't read the article close enough
Michael Jordan’s retirement to play baseball was actually a secret suspension for gambling,
This one is true. In the middle of his career, he just quits to waste himself on minor league baseball? Nah.
he is a ridiculously competitive person
He's like the Picasso of competitiveness. He is on another level from other people, even athletes. A transcendent athlete but he also seems extremely unhappy and probably miserable to be around because of that competitiveness.

Lots of great stuff on this site. I’ve been visiting it for at least ten years now
I've been reading chinese wuxia novels and listening to Rusty quill's Magnus archives which is an SCP-esque horror podcast that talks about spooky phenomena.
This isn't niche, but i've been having fun listening to this drummer lad blind listen/drum to some of my favorite musicians songs, and generally just vibing to new songs and albums
Lastly a weird site I've known about for years is the library of babel where supposedly it contains every possible word and sentence combination in the english language.
Dunno, I started from the very first and worked my way up. It's hit and miss at times but I like the background ambiance
I sporadically listened to the first few over several months, but it starts to pick up an overarching plot maybe 10 episodes in and finally hooked me. I hate giving that kind of answer but :shrug-outta-hecks:
