♻️ #websurfing d e t r i t u s . n e t dedicated to recycled culture www.detritus.net/manifesto.html
 Detritus: the Manifesto

        - in nature, detritus is dead plant and animal matter that makes new life possible. The very bottom of the food chain, detritus is the rotting leaves in the forest, the silt on the bottom of the pond, the thick dark mud in the salt marsh. It sticks to your shoes, it smells, but someday it will be food for something else, and that something will be food in turn, on and on up the food chain until you pick it up in the supermarket and put it in your mouth.

        Our society spends a lot of time telling us that there is some brand new, fresh cultural produce, generated from thin air and sunshine, slick and clean. They package it with pretty plastic & ribbons and then feed it to us. A lot gets thrown away: the ribbons, the wrapping; culture becomes garbage, or it dies, and rots behind the refrigerator. But the new fluffy shiny stuff still gets churned out, and it gets forced between our teeth. And we are told to swallow it.

        We will not swallow. We will chew, and then spit. We will play with our food, and create something new and interesting from it.

it's strange! i checked the other free webhost subdomains i know about, and they all show up in bing results. there's spam/phishing/etc on hosted on neocities i'm sure, but like, these fake login pages are all indexed by bing, so... why not neocities?
bing search result for great-site.net. everything but the top result looks like a phishing attempt, to me

👾 #websurfing museumofzzt.com a site dedicated to the preservation and curation of the many games and worlds created with ZZT
Welcome to the Museum of ZZT, a site dedicated to the preservation and curation of the many games and worlds created with ZZT.

ZZT is a text-mode game from 1991 created by Tim Sweeney of Epic Games. ZZT has its own editor and scripting language which offers what may still be an unmatched level of accessibility to beginning game developers. A significant number of ZZT worlds were created by authors in their early teenage years, with some being made by children under 10. ZZT's simple ZZT-OOP scripting language gave many a friendly introduction to programming.

The goal of the Museum of ZZT site is to collect these worlds, offer discussions into them and the community built around them, and keep them safely preserved. It is the hope of the Museum that the generally unknown works of ZZT community can be easily discovered and that their importance can be recognized.

one of my favorites fruitsticker.de/4images/deta...
hormiguita banana
premium bananas
product of ecuador

the sticker features flik, the ant protagonist of the 1998 disney/pixar film A Bug's Life, holding a bunch of bananas. his exoskeleton is yellow instead of blue, maybe to match the bananas or maybe to avoid copyright infringement

🍞 #websurfing carl griffith's 1847 oregon trail sourdough a website "in keeping with the old pioneer tradition of giving good sourdough starts to anyone who wanted it" carlsfriends.net
a simple list of links over a covered wagon background. "Celebrating Carl Griffith's 1847 Oregon Trail Sourdough Starter", "Download Carl's Brochure", "How to Get Carl's Starter", "How to Revive Your Start", "Who Are We?", "About Carl", "Contact Us", "Photos and Illustrated Instructions & Recipes", and "1847 OT Sourdough FAQ". under the links, "Over 80,000 starts distributed from this web site since 2000"written instructions for getting carl's starter:

"We require a  #10 envelope, also called, in the USA, a "business-size envelope", measures about 9-1/2 inches by 4-1/8 inches (24 cm by 10.5 cm). European size DL is close enough.

If such an envelope is not available, simply send postage (or US currency - $1.00 covers the cost for US addresses) plus your postal address, and we will provide an envelope. An address label is helpful but not required. 

Please, only 1 request per address due to the enormous volume of requests. You can revive the starter and share it with house members."
