Ask HN: Websites you check regularly (except socials)

9 pointsby blackhaj7vor 3 Jahren6 comments

What sites other than social media and hacker news do you enjoy visiting?

I am trying to quit social media and have a more healthy internet usage. But in doing so I have realised that I basically don't know of many good/interesting/fun/informative alternatives to check

(I already do a lot of stuff outside of "checking the internet" so I am not looking for alternatives to screen time, rather, interesting places to spend my screen time)

In the US I love https://weather.gov. It's not the prettiest or the most user friendly but there are no ads

I check this every week. It's a good non-biased overview of world events and things the MSM is typically ignoring and propagandizing other topics:
