While researching various topics, I often run across 'interesting websites'. Usually I just archive the URL with AbiWord to re-visit later, which serves me well, but no one else benefits. Been thinking I would start a thread here to list these sites, and if anyone wants to add their discoveries, feel free.

@Neville Telen The first link provided some immediate, very interesting reading as I scanned over it. Whether or not I would join, I'm not yet sure. however, several OPs were of such significant current value, I toyed with copying them. For example, a study conducted in 8 countries found plastic remnants in human stools of virtually all samples tested. Consequences? Unknown. Some of you should investigate this link, IMO. Frank
Glad it was useful. I tend to avoid 'news', but I suspect some here do not, and as I will probably not add these URLs to my 'archive'. I thought someone might get some mileage from it.
I have run across some competitors to YouTube: https://d.tube/#!/newvideos https://www.bitchute.com/ https://www.vidlii.com/video/ https://hooktube.com/ https://www.liveleak.com/ https://bit.tube/dashboard http://pluto.tv/tv/cats-247
http://make-everything-ok.com/ Wait for the page to load and click the button. Watch the download of everything being made OK in your life. My daughter sent me this one. Do you have any sites that you find amusing?
A Soft Murmur Ambient sounds to wash away distraction. "Just play around with the sliders to achieve your perfectly calming background noise. It’s impossible not to try every one and each has its own unique charm (we could listen to ‘fire’ all day every day)."
@Joe Riley The first one was hilarious! The next one I bookmarked. Plan to use it when I get ready to sleep during all the neighborhood fireworks. Not the good kind, the cheap kind that just make noise. Thanks!
Telehack is a simulation of a stylized arpanet/usenet, circa 1985-1990 (which is the exact time period in which I ran a BBS). It is a full multi-user simulation, including 25,000 hosts and BBS's from the early net, thousands of files from that era, a collection of adventure games, a working BASIC interpreter with a library of programs to run, simulated historical users, and so on. This is what it was like to be on a BBS before graphic interfaces were in use.
Here's a site that keeps track of how many times homophobic words or phrases are used on Twitter, and, of course, the world needs a social networking site for zombies.
