- jbotz 5y agoRight now, "Where's the WEBB"[0]. At least so long as nothing goes majorly wrong it makes me really happy to see this thing being deployed and soon to vastly expand our knowledge of the Universe!

- yesenadam 5y agoScary Pockets https://www.youtube.com/c/ScaryPockets/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/ScaryPockets/videos Funky covers of pop songs done by various LA singers and musicians, often incredibly good. MonoNeon https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMonoNeon/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMonoNeon/videos Crazy + amazing bass player plays over music and speech, also recently does his own songs w. videos, and live gig videos. https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=user%3ASpud17 https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=user%3ASpud17 Non-english series torrents posted by TPB's Spud17, with english subtitles. e.g. recently watched Manayek (Israel), Vida Perfecta (Spain), Aruanas (Brazil), Thin Blue Line (Sweden) - all seriously great. (I always read the user reviews on IMDb first, to find out which are the ones to watch.) Before him, Snowhiter was doing a similar great job about 2012-19.
- tkgally 5y agoThe Internet Archive: https://archive.org/ https://archive.org/ I delight especially in all the old books.
- unbanned 5y ago>Amazon's ecommerce site Amazon.com or something else?
- saaspirant 5y agoAmazon.com I browse cool interesting products
- jaclaz 5y agoI wonder how exactly you manage to do that. What happens to me (the extremely rare times I go on Amazon) is that I search for something and get as result something very different that sometimes (not often) is a cool interesting product. I find much more interesting Aliexpress for this kind of entertainment.
- saaspirant 5y agoI search for a "joy" product such as lights, cool gadgets, plants and chemicals. Then I scroll through the "People also bought" section and the rabbithole begins

- beamatronic 5y agoNothing on screens makes me happy.
- blockwriter 5y agoThe Substacks of my friends that are fiction writers. Reading their work rather than random internet chatter is like listening to an album rather than listening to a podcast. It is a boon to contemplation.
- notdonspaulding 5y agohttps://www.servethehome.com/ https://www.servethehome.com/ News from the datacenter and networking world. https://rumble.com/c/russellbrand https://rumble.com/c/russellbrand I disagree with almost every policy Russell Brand proposes, but he points out behavior that should be equally alarming to everyone across the political spectrum. And more generally... https://rumble.com/ https://rumble.com/ Because none of the videos on there had to be approved by a Google-paid moderator. I'll gladly sift through the 90% crackpot conspiracy theories about why Trump is still the president to find the 10% of actual news or opinion pieces that exist outside the YouTube filter bubble. And, without a doubt, the one website on the face of the planet that has consistently brought me the most joy is: https://desiringgod.org/ https://desiringgod.org/ Specifically the Ask Pastor John series where John Piper takes on literally any question about the Christian faith and seeks to answer it in the most biblically-consistent way.
