Strange/unusual websites

Let's see the weirdest or most unique websites you've come across.

(https://forgottenlanguages-full.forgottenlanguages.org/p/books-2021.html) Forgotten Languages. This is a collection of essays on various topics (mainly linguistics, religion, etc)...the thing is, all the essays are written in an undecipherable conlang (constructed language). There's occasional quotes in known languages, and verifiable references, but most of the stuff on this site is cryptic, and the reason for this is unknown.

(https://radio.garden/) Radio Garden. The Google Maps/Earth of radio stations

(https://zompist.com/) Zompist. A complete fictional world created by a language creator. Includes many sections on creating languages

(https://orteil.dashnet.org/nested) Nested. A fascinating dropdown site, where you can explore (infinite?) combinations of fictional universes in text form, down to beings and their thoughts

UK focused - overlays old maps on modern maps so you can see how things have changed over the years. It's fun to see how areas I know and live in have changed over 200 years, and where places get their names from.

If you feel nostalgic of older hifi equipment, or miss your audio tech job....
There are more out there, but since the others web sites need monetary donations to stay a float I will avoid them unnecessary traffic.

(https://www.window-swap.com/) https://www.window-swap.com/ -> open a new window somewhere in the world

(https://wiby.me/surprise/) https://wiby.me/surprise/ -> Every time you click this link, it will send you to a random Web 1.0 website. My fav search engine to search old and obscure personal blog. It does well in excluding over-commercialized modern web

(https://how-i-experience-web-today.com/) https://how-i-experience-web-today.com/ -> self explanatory

neocities.org has a lot of cool websites like this weird one i stumbled on whereareyou.neocities.org

(https://websitereview.neocities.org/) - Has some reviews about some good sites
(https://sites.lainx.org/) - Outdated but still has some useful links
(https://theoldnet.com/) - Something like archive.org
(https://www.oldavista.com/) - Search engine similar to wiby, i think

More hifi if you can handle German language.
