The Internet Is Beautiful

From the description:

The year is 1518. Mexico-Tenochtitlan, once an unassuming settlement in the middle of Lake Texcoco, now a bustling metropolis. It is the capital of an empire ruling over, and receiving tribute from, more than 5 million people. Tenochtitlan is home to 200.000 farmers, artisans, merchants, soldiers, priests and aristocrats. At this time, it is one of the largest cities in the world.

Today, we call this city Ciudad de Mexico - Mexico City.

Not much is left of the old Aztec - or Mexica - capital Tenochtitlan. What did this city, raised from the lake bed by hand, look like? Using historical and archeological sources, and the expertise of many, I have tried to faithfully bring this iconic city to life.

A few preserved iPhone games or something (I think). These are, apparently, an archive of unsupported versions of popular games on phones, which are no longer available on the App Stores. They run inside the browser. These are NOT pirated, if media IS for sale then please support those who make games before resorting to what is legally defined as theft.

free bionic reading script (english, requires tampermonkey, as other plugins need manual enabling)

I wanted to create something to scroll through on the train that was a bit more wholesome than social media, so I created an online library with all of the classic short stories for quick reading. Hoping other people find it useful too.

I just found this website and love the vibe of it.

Also: which is similar. mentioned it before. Why are my links not working :(

Blue Walls

Female equivalent of blue balls. Also incorrectly called blue ovaries. When you're fooling around with someone and you want to go farther and they don't...making your crotch/vag/groin ache so badly you can hardly stand it. I went over to Steve's last night and we made out for 2 hours. I had to leave when he wasn't giving it up and now I have blue walls so bad I can barely sit down. by Apb24.1 May 30, 2006

Cool "game" where you compare two fonts and pick which one you prefer, until you've narrowed it down to your favorite font.
