https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/ has to go on the list for contrast against expectations of the home page of a $700B company. It does load fast.
It's a shame that it uses Google Analytics. There's no JavaScript or even CSS otherwise.

#142How many hours are there in a day? (Not 24!) What is the shape of the earth? (Neither flat nor a sphere!) For 'answers' to these deep questions, see: https://timecube.2enp.com/
Did whoever mirrored the site run s/kill/kiss? Really obscures Gene's true message I think.
Looks like it. How unfun.
Here's a page where this change didn't happen: http://timecube.rubbermallet.org/

#144https://y-n10.com/ The website of the Nintendo founder's family office. It..is just beautifully designed, and a homage to the original game consoles and the entire art form of PC gaming when it started. Earlier thread on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26803201
I didn't get it until I figured this out: Scroll down. lol

#145In the worst design category, it is hard to top the website from a few years ago of Yvette's bridal and tux shop, archived here [1]. Archive.org also has it [2] but the p1r8.net archive seems to be a little more accurate.

#148https://glassanimals.com/ - I remember the first time I came across their site I was just having a blast and wanting to explore. It looks slightly different than I remember, but love the idea.

Wow! I've been using the internet since the 90s and I have never had my hair blown back by a webpage before. The isometric view certainly hits the nostalgia button. Edit (from the site): "Japan was once globally renowned for its people's quality of unique creativity teamed with a pioneering mindset. Their innovation and inventions changed the world. But that golden era has long been gone. It seems that the quality Ja…
It's bold of the Nintendo family to make such statements about Japanese society when they can't even get their own company under control themselves. Nintendo is probably the most universally hated gaming company and it's true of other Japanese companies as well. They seem to be scared of the internet and goes out of their way to claim copyright infringement on anything fan made having to do with their intellectual property. They will try take down everything they possibly can, it's so bad you have to fear covering any of their games, even their music on platforms such as YouTube. Any efforts to preserve old Nintendo games via e.g. emulation is quickly met with a lawsuit. Whether or not you comply with their requests they will try to sue you for millions, even children. Just check out all the recent cases on Google. https://www.google.com/search?q=nintendo+sues
