Damn like if I were in their shoes I would have done all that too

Sometimes I’m looking for something online - often “how to” articles - and I want to filter for - like - a website that was clearly built in 2010 at the latest, which may or may not have been updated since then, but contains a vast wealth of information on one topic, painstakingly organized by an unknown legend in the field with decades’ worth of experience. I don’t want a listicle with a nice stolen picture in a slideshow format written by a content aggregator that God forgot. I want hand-drawn diagrams by some genius professor who doesn’t understand SEO at all, but understands making stir-fries or raising stick insects better than anyone else on this earth. I don’t know what search settings to put into Google to get this.

search.marginalia.nu is the search engine you want!

The search engine calculates a score that aggressively favors text-heavy websites, and punishes those that have too many modern web design features.

This is in a sense the opposite of what most major search engines do, they favor modern websites over old-looking ones. Most links you find here will be nearly impossible to find on a regular search engine, as they aren’t sufficiently search engine optimized.

“It is a search engine, designed to help you find what you didn’t even know you were looking for. If you search for “Plato”, you might for example end up at the Canterbury Tales. Go looking for the Canterbury Tales, and you may stumble upon Neil Gaiman’s blog.

If you are looking for fact, this is almost certainly the wrong tool. If you are looking for serendipity, you’re on the right track. When was the last time you just stumbled onto something interesting, by the way?

I don’t expect this will be the next “big” search engine. This is and will remain a niche tool for a niche audience.“

i clicked around for a few minutes searching various things and I now have two fourteenth century pie crust recipes and an apple filling recipe i want to try, so thanks!

[ms-demeanor]

it has been twenty minutes and I am deeply in love with this search engine.

INCREDIBLE. I *do* want to know how to test Windows 95 for Y2K Compliance and I am glad that someone is still hosting step by step instructions for that.

[workfornow]

tl;dr: search.marginalia.nu for the old or old looking and just plain serendipitous stuff that google or Duck duck go are gonna not find/bury on the 20th page. For perfectly good reasons, but …

My absolute favorite part of having made this post - other than causing people to be introduced to this site - are the people in the tags/comments talking about their interests and stuff they found about their hobbies.

Good luck out there surfing the cyberweb, you crazy cats. I love the shoelace website too - Ian’s Shoelace Site [link], unless there’s another. My personal favorite old-school site is Alysion’s string figure collection [link].

I suspect the lambs Phil amnesia is very self indulgent to try out different scenes where Philza can’t be held responsible* for careless words. But it’s so fun I can’t help it.

"X horror podcast protagonist wouldn’t survive Y world" but flip it around. Carpenter being confused why human sacrifice isn’t normal in central London. Riot Maidstone being confused why big cities still are active and full of human life in 1934. Arthur Lester finding and connecting with the LGBT in the Hallowoods. Jon finding out that being an acolyte of an evil god doesn’t ostracise you from society in the Peninsula.

[Transcript. Ozempica Firestone clutched orphanly at her hot dead mother's locket, thinking about how orphanful she was. She was quite the most orphanest slender blue-orbed blonde seventeen and 11 months orphan in all of Appallingly Researched Somerset Village. Her two stepsisters, Size 12 and Size 14, glowered midsizedly at her across the tavern. “Lord Darkdunkelheartthorn will never choose you," they sneerified sneeringly. "You're just a fragile beauty with a voice that turns mud to gold." "I don't care about marrying Lord Darkdunkelheartthorn," she blushed thinly over my broom. "I care about sad children, and lonely kittens, and bandaging injured unicorn toes." "Too late," whispered Lord Darkdunkelheartthorn loudly. “I am in love with your fragile thinness and want to buy you stuff in the historically wobbly castle of Darkfaeblack where I live and do morally dubious aspirational wealth porn." "Never!" She daintied petitely. "I want to be thin and starving among the sad children." The table turned to gold, and the hungry children started chopping bits off it to sell immediately. "I am needed here," she whispered prettily. "We will marry you!" Said Size 12 and Size 14. "Never!" He roared fatphobically, turning them both into ravens. "I only have eyes for Ozempica. As you cannot love me, I must abduct you at once which will definitely improve the situation and encourage postitive sentiments towards me while I buy you stuff that is jarringly of the wrong era." They then had hot morally grey sex in alternative chapters with a weird b plot about gnome genocide at the following locations: turret, throne room, glasshouse, bridge, haunted wood, haunted ship, sex dungeon, sex library. Ozempica discovered a book expositioning the gnome genocide in a shelovesbooks kind of way. "But I loved you!" She wept unproblematically. "How could you gnome genocide knowing I would oppose that thinly until more hot acrobatic oral sex?" Her tears landed tearingly upon the carpet and immediately transformed into tiny crystal roses worth approximately £4,000 each. To her horror, her beautiful voice had turned him to gold. "No, true love I love you true love true love kiss kiss," she wept into his gold abs. He turned back into dark robed darkness. "Now you have loved me the curse from chapter 3 is broken and also I understand genocide is bad and won't do it again," he announced hornily. Reader, she banged him. end transcript]

I do wholeheartedly believe Wes Anderson is a sick sick freak. I like his movies but I definitely think this guy has like a hidden room in his spacious french apartment that he slips into quietly each night and it is just filled with tiny little doll replicas of all the actors he's ever used in any of his movies and he puppets them around and mimicks their voices and shit. and sometimes he'll text Owen Wilson pictures of his little doll with a comb or something from an untraceable number and pair it with like "see how I take care of you Owen?" and then the following day Owen Wilson will find him at the service table and go, "Geez Wes look at this," and Wes will pretend to be all concerned and horrified but there is this calculating almost eager look in his eyes that unsettles Owen Wilson. and the next time Wes is having a little soiree with all his actors, his beloved beloved actors, maybe Owen Wilson will accidentally get lost on his way to the beautiful bathroom and find that little room and see all those dolls and his throat will hitch with horror. And before he can call Bill Murray or Adrian Brody to look a dark silhouette will appear in the doorway and Wes looks sort of resigned when he says, "I see you finally found my secret, Owen," and Owen Wilson will try and pretend that he's fine with it but they both know better. and Wes will go (the look in his eyes back again) "We both know this can't get out, right?" and he'll grin very suddenly and Owen Wilson will laugh along very nervously and leave the room and eat some brioche and when the evening is over he will rush over to his Prius and frantically click his keys but over the cobbles on the beautiful beautiful street there is the sound of footsteps. and tears are running down Owen Wilson's cheeks but he can't say a word and Wes, emerging from the shadows, will gently touch him on the shoulder and say, "look, I'll drive you to the airport, huh?" and Owen Wilson will try to refuse but they both know it's futile. and, halfway through the drive, Wes Anderson will smile and say, "I'll miss working with you" and then perfectly jump and roll out of the car, wiping off his corduroy pants, while Owen Wilson's Prius swerves into a local patisserie, bursting into flames

So if Caine and Kinger finally have a father-son relationship… does that mean Kinger calls him by his first name, all three middle names, and last name when he’s about to unleash the full force of his parental wrath
