A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Top site, the Ian Knot must have already saved me cumulative hours of shoelace tying time.
About bicycle maintenance.
Legendary fella in bike circles. I was sad when he died.
Speaking of bikes, https://www.bikeforums.net/ is still alive and pretty much unchanged. I wonder if the Helmet Wars are still being waged. LOL, yep.
I found that a few minutes ago on wiby.me, was surprised his family was maintaining his site for so long and had an active fb page for it
This used to be the only way you could view the UEFA club rankings. Billion dollar industry, and some random guy named Bert in the Netherlands was the only way you could learn which leagues were eligible for European football. Still superior to any official sites to this day
Craigslist
Tough math problems meant to be solved by programming a solution. Nothing has taught me to optimize as well as this site.
No longer online, but if you like this you should also check out the official Galaxy Quest “fan” site: https://web.archive.org/web/20000819162953/http://www.galaxyquest.com/galaxyquest/
Demoscene stuff!
https://www.pouet.net/ and https://scenestream.net/demovibes/
Both are still kicking like it's 2000 even though there are modern alternatives like https://demozoo.org/ and https://hypr.website/
Thank you! The nostalgia!
Great comic that's been going since 2003. Kind of sort of heading towards the end, but it's been doing that for a while now.
It's not useful in the slightest but I still visit about once a year for a laugh.
Didn't the guy behind that die? Amazing it's still running...
Yeah, 10 years ago...

Basenotes, the perfume forum.
https://www.metafilter.com/ hasn't changed much.
Was coming to post MeFi if wasn't already here, had to scroll all the down though. Seems fitting seeing your name at the end of a bunch of comments!
This was my answer too.
Neowin.net
Www.pinside.com
Pinball related forums. Often times it's the only resource you need for anything pinball related, which is good, because there aren't really many other alternatives.
https://www.myronsmopeds.com/ is also another excellent site for moped information
My local movie theaters website from the days of early websites. http://www.goetzskyvu.com/GOETZ_THEATRE/GOETZ_SHOW_&_TIMES.html
asdf.com, the greatest "am I connected to the internet?" site in history.
