Hey there! Here’s another batch of the internet’s best websites, apps, and games I've found: free tools that do what paid apps charge for, plus a few places on the internet worth exploring for fun.

The useful ones:

01. wormhole.app
Send files up to 10GB with end-to-end encryption and a link that expires on its own. It covers what most people pay a file transfer subscription for, and the person receiving doesn't need an account either.

02. squoosh.app
A free image compressor from Google that runs entirely in your browser. You drag a slider to compare the original and the compressed version side by side, so you can shrink a photo as much as possible without it looking worse.

03. mynoise.net
Hundreds of background noise generators, from rain on a tent to a Japanese garden to a spaceship engine. Each one has sliders to tune the mix, which makes it a solid free swap for focus and sleep sound apps.

04. musclewiki.com
Click a muscle on a body diagram and get a list of exercises for it, each with a short video showing proper form. It's a free way to plan workouts without paying for a fitness app.

The rabbit holes:

05. cameronsworld.net
A huge scrolling collage built from thousands of old GeoCities pages, with the original GIFs, MIDI music, and homemade web design from the late 90s. It's like walking through a museum of the early internet.

06. astronaut.io
Plays an endless stream of YouTube videos that have almost zero views, mostly random home footage uploaded straight from people's phones. It feels like watching tiny pieces of strangers' lives from around the world.

07. zoomquilt.org
An infinitely zooming painting made by a group of artists, where each scene hides the next one inside it. It loops forever and is weirdly hypnotic.
