If you like to play chess, check out www.lichess.org
It's free and open source, and it's very easy to find a game there, no matter what level you play.
It doesn't display annoying ads.
Japanese chess is excellent too. Http://lishogi.org
It always makes me sad that chess.com was the site that blew up. I always had to convince my friends to use lichess when I played back in school.

Ian's Shoelace Site:
Different ways to lace your shoes.
The Phrontistery:
Glossaries of, e.g., obscure words, lost words, etc.
Anytime I get new shoes I go to Ian's Shoelace Site to pick out a new lacing pattern.
And Ian's Secure Knot is a godsend for winter boots that usually have a bit thicker laces which come undone with a regular knot. Learning that knot is great because it's as strong as double knotting without needing to pick apart the knot afterwards.

http://wiby.me/ is a cool site. It's a search engine that only has web 1.0 and web 1.0-styled websites.
Oh my, this is beautiful. Brings me back to the glory days of the Internet -- when sites were quick to load, text was king, and you didn't feel your privacy was violated at every turn.
It's a list of all the good word games, minigames and puzzles on the internet, and you can customize it to shortlist your favorites and even add new links. I go there every day to link to all my favorites.
...oh, full disclosure: I built it. Though hopefully nobody minds, since there's no ads or monetization whatsoever.

Something that far too many managers and developers need to see, so they can better understand why their decisions and work completely sucks.

I might’ve came across it from a post here on Lemmy, but this website is great for music discovery. It lets you listen to music by decade and country via a neat map UI.
There is this really cool place called Lemmy, I'm sure many people here have heard of it but not anyone I ask in other places. It's like Reddit, it's a forum-esque place where people can exchange their thoughts. The people are a little biased on the extreme Marxist side of things, but overall it's pretty nice.
We don't need this reddit-level comment here.
We did all (or most of us) come from Reddit don't forget. It's in our blood at this point.

I needed Unicode symbols for a story I'm working on. (I want to use them as "magic runes" so I could type them into a document, but without using the standard "runes" that are typically used.)
Shape Catcher let me draw what I was looking for and then get a list of Unicode characters that matched that drawing. It's not exact so if there's no perfect Unicode match, it will give you ones that are close. This actually turned out to my benefit as I found shapes I hadn't considered but which worked nicely for my uses.

It's not great by today's standards, but in the late 90's my friends and I found this to be the peak of internet entertainment.

I really liked this blog like 10+ years ago.
He's got a lot of funny stuff on there where he eats unusual food, talks about a fungus growing on his trees, and other things he has observed. He even has an interview with Adam Savage!
He is also the none pizza left beef pizza guy.

Best place for long form history and science content with audio versions that is criminally underrated.
Last.fm and tracking your music listening. I've seen a post here but no one I see irl seems to know about it
Scrobling used to be huge back in the day of mp3s and last.fm practically invented it.There are also alternative APIs implementing the same idea. Unfortunately for them they never caught up on the age of streaming.
