Really informative website from the 90s which was a one-stop-shop for authoritative information about Samurai.
Keep in mind, this was before Wikipedia. Finding high quality information online was much more difficult online in the past, but this was a rare gem.
Anyhow, I was able to use the site for research for a grade school paper, and I can proudly say I got A grade on it.
Thank you for this. It’s so good to see the beautiful, fun energy, of the early internet, still in its original glory.
Ninjas are cool, and by cool I mean totally sweet.
Mastodon, apparently /s
…is this my time to self-promote? 👉👈
ninjawords.com A really fast dictionary…fast like a ninja. No bs, no ads, no videos, just a really fast dictionary.
Looks interesting, but it won’t stop loading for drag.
If you’re curious:

Back in 1999 a lot of websites would consist of a full-page Adobe Flash program (something that no longer works in modern browsers) a bit like how a lot of websites now are basically JavaScript apps. Because the speed of internet connections was so low back then it could take a long time for those flash apps to load all their content, so while you were waiting they might play a little animation or something that served as an “intro”.
Zombo com was a parody of those websites. There was no actual content, it just played a really really long intro that consisted of colorful blinking circles and audio of a guy saying variations of “welcome to zombo com, you can do anything here, anything at all” over and over again.
It finally loaded. This website is amazing.
French History blog. Been reading it for years.
Too many internet joke sites… like the now defunct noooooooooooo.com [recreated here
I’ve shared those here on Lemmy before.
Another vidloop from when I was softmodding Nintendo consoles salthax.org
Custom Mario Kart wiki wiki.tockdom.com I’d love to have Lemmy tourneys if enough are interested.
Websites I have made and host myself. No links, sorry.
One community that passed my feed I recently got an interest in !meshtastic@mander.xyz
Jiggmin.com may it rest in peace. Had a ton of flash games developed by one guy that I was a big fan of, like a platform racer- a sort of Mario-style platformer where you could actually build your own levels and play multi-player.
I use the calculator to compare tire OD when shopping for new ones or changing sizes.
Burn in Hell Software.
(Is it cheating if it’s my own website I made when I was, like, 10?)
Probably gonna be some people who have heard it statistically, but InsaneJournal (one of those LiveJournal sites that popped up when LJ went closed source from what I understand, IDK, never used LJ because I was too young to care).
Does it count if it no longer exists? I miss plug.dj
No one cares to make a similar website or experience unfortunately.
