There are approximately more than a billion websites in existence, according to online statistician (and nitpicker) http://www.internetlivestats.com. That dipped to the high nines though (900 plus million) due to some being inactive or getting shut down, but it is always growing in number.
We don’t have the exact calculations yet on how many hours, weeks, months, or even years it would take to go through all of them. There are literally thousands of topics and discussions to choose from on these online places, covering pretty much everything that the human collective has learned about so far.
If we take a look at the majority of these sites, they all have common themes and topics that are searched and discussed often. But this next batch isn’t even remotely related to each other. They aren’t even sites that people would intentionally visit unless they knew about them or had discovered them from somewhere.
Awkward band and musician photos
Are there any bands or musicians out there who had some really bad taste (or bad people) in art direction, photography, and publicity? Chances are they will be found on this rather embarrassingly funny Facebook page. No one is spared by this site: heavy metal, country, pop, gospel, rock, blues, easy listening, solo singers. If their publicity or band photo sucks in the most horrible and laughable way, be sure to find it nowhere else but here.
As a precautionary note: be sure to avoid drinking coffee or anything while browsing through some godawful pics, album covers, and band photo shoots.

Mullets Galore
Bill Kelliher of Mastodon has a mullet, or at least he had one around the time when Blood Mountain came out, or so. And that was a killer record. With that out of the way, Mulletsgalore.com is, or was, in praise of the almighty party at the back hairstyle.
In its heyday, this site documented the various species, classifications, designations, and iterations of the tail-like hair contraption on many a dude’s or bloke’s back of the head. And just to add, one of the mullet’s most popular formats is business at the front, and party at the back. We really don’t understand the appeal, but it’s still awesome every time a rare sighting happens.
The direction this piece is going may not be suitable for anyone, but prominent examples are 90’s era Billy Ray Cyrus, 80’s to early 90’s Jean Claude Van Damme, McGyver, Captain Planet, old Michael Bolton, Dog the Bounty Hunter (all time eras) and that call center dude on the floor outside the office room with a faux hawk and rat tail mullet combo (present-day era).
Website creator J has since retired the original site (weepsk) but hey, a new one sprang up to keep on carrying the torch at http://mulletjunky.com to classify all types for easier verification upon sighting them later.
Sacred Texts
Seek and ye shall find. And on the internet, you can search for the basic spiritual, esoteric, and occult e-books for further exploration. With sites like http://www.sacred-texts.com, almost everything one needs to read and download regarding different spiritual, philosophical, paranormal, and esoteric subject matter is available for free and easy download in PDF and Word files.
They even cover LGBT topics found in ancient scripts, in support of the LGBT movement. They also have a USB and CDROM format for sale for those who cannot be online all the time, and want the whole massive collection available anytime in a convenient storage format.
All types of religious books and documents, broad discussions on parapsychology, knowledge on freemasonry, texts on ancient knowledge, and of course a wide selection of occult books (at least those that are available to the seeking general public) are just some of the wide ranging esoteric material available from them. In the quest for ancient knowledge, the occult, and spirituality, the internet proves to be a good place to start for all entry-level to tertiary-level seekers.
Like most esoteric types of material, guides like these merely show the basics. For those looking for more advanced studies and knowledge, after exploring these, those who choose to delve deeper will be led to their own quests, and their own paths.
Manbeef.com
For a site that openly promoted cannibalism and the selling of human meat, Manbeef.com has got everyone within earshot online fooled. Of course, among all the real-related news sites that reported cannibal activities around the world, the biggest but hard-fooling hoax of them all led in web traffic attention. It was ‘so real’ that the FDA investigated it, leading to the (sad?) truth of it being a hoax.
Manbeef.com was an elaborate hoax that led people to outrage and even mild curiosity, even putting a joke online ordering service replete with fake but believable photos. They even had official merchandise like shirts and baseball caps (the only real things for sale), as well as gift cards, wines, gourmet selections, and cooking accessories.
The site is now history though, but take a look at it at the Internet Archives for early versions to see one of the earliest forms of elaborate Internet hoaxes. Manbeef seemed too good to be true and too real and believable in presentation and content. Is it art or an early form of elegant and elaborate trolling?
Sad Satan – The Deep Web Horror Game
Sad Satan is what would feel like playing an online black-and-white nightmare POV game on hallucinogens and no one can escape. It is a visual equivalent of claustrophobic insanity with sudden and random, distorted, and reversed sounds that are as unsettling as they are confusing.
Videos on YouTube have so far shown five stages in the game: first a minimalist maze-like corridor with a pale blue sky and clouds that are fading in and out. The second one is where things turn for the worse: the whole game is inversed into a negative view and random messed-up sounds in reverse pop out of nowhere.
MindF graphics appear and confuse out of nowhere sounds. There’s no sign that the game gets better. It just gets weirder and more confusing.
It is so secret (but not anymore) that the people who created and developed this weird and messed up game decided to make it available only on the Deep Web, which can only be accessed with a TOR (The Onion Router) an app that facilitates anonymous exploration of the hidden frontier within the Deep Web.
Remember that TOR is almost synonymous with the Silk Road exposé. Those who downloaded it had a weird time and found random notepad files on their desktop screens with weird notes. No one knows where they came from either.
