3. Wolfram|Alpha
Don't call it a search engine. WolframAlpha describes itself as a "computational knowledge engine." Ask it a fact-based question, and it pores through its vast knowledge base for a fact-based answer.
4. Netflix
This streaming media and DVD-by-mail website has revolutionized the entertainment industry. It's the premier site if you're looking for on-demand movies, documentaries or a binge-watching marathon of that TV series you were always hoping to watch.
5. Pornhub
This is one of the most popular sites on the Internet for pornography. Pornhub even recently launched an "Insights" blog (safe for work) where it provides charts and graphics on how events such as the government shutdown, holidays and income level affect affect porn viewing.
6. Snopes.com
Check your assumptions at the door. The goal of this site is to debunk misinformation, quell rumors and set the record straight. Barbara and David Mikkelson, a couple from California, have owned and operated Snopes.com since 1995.
7. Zombo
A site for limitless possibilities or one of the web's most bizarre inside jokes? You decide.
8. PrimeWire.ag
A website that hosts pirated media, the commenter who posted about PrimeWire on Reddit described it as a site where you can watch "pretty much any movie or TV series you can think of streaming free." If you Google "PrimeWire," however, you'll find this copyright infringement notification against the site.
9. KickassTorrents
A site for peer-to-peer file sharing that one Redditor described as, "Seriously the best organised and the cleanest looking torrent site I can think of. My go to for any [movie]/TV show."
10. The Nicest Place on the Internet
If you're having a bad day, you might want to pay a visit to this site.
11. Kickstarter
Kickstarter is the king of crowdfunding. It's a site where any entrepreneur with a good idea can appeal to the masses for contributions large and small to help get that idea off the ground.
12. Kongregate
Proceed with extreme caution or watch your productivity evanesce. This site, by its own count, features nearly 80,000 free online games.
13: Find the Invisible Cow
This is a fun take on the "you're getting warmer/you're getting colder" genre with a bovine payoff. In the game, a voice shouts "cow" with increasing fervor as you move your cursor closer to the invisible cow.
14. Motherfuckingwebsite.com
A profanity-laced piece of satire for the digital age, this site is a must-read for anyone who has ever designed a website.
15. TV Tropes
This site describes itself as a "catalog of the tricks of the trade for writing fiction." It started in 2004 aimed at covering TV but later expanded to cover other forms of media such as literature, video games, comic books, theater, music and more.
