https://libraryofbabel.info/

The Library of Babel contains every permutation of 3200 characters pages, organized in rooms, shelves and books. It contains every work ever written by mankind, it contains the (brief) story of how you will die and of all the ways will not die. It is mostly gibberish but you can search for some pecific text. It's not yet completed as that would require all the pages to be combined na permutated between themselves, but there could literally be some new discoveries inside waiting to be read, and of course a whole lot of wrong knowledge

I remember finding a website once where you can create your own universe by clicking, dragging, etc and at some point it dies. I found it through Bored button. Hope to find it again.

There are a couple websites that display all of the US road signs approved by the federal government. Some cool stuff on there. Wikipedia does it too but I like the organization of the websites.
