The color of links on your site is quite dark on newer articles.

Just as a very trivial example of what I mean when I say it is better at code than at just giving an answer.
It predicts the output of this program incorrectly, but the program gives the correct result:

I found a comparison of a photo of the nebula from 1901, and another from 2016 and the structure of the nebula looks almost identical

That isn't accurate. Trump's (unconstitutional) executive order states that citizenship shouldn't be granted when both parents aren't lawful permanent residents.
Trump was a US citizen when Barron was born, so Barron would be a citizen under Trump's (unconstitutional) executive order.

Thanks for including this helpful example of one of the problems with the modern Internet.

A small line-drawing rule-discovery puzzle game with a few clever twists. Highly recommended!

20. Connections
I started playing this daily word game recently. I use a bookmarklet that adds the ability to drag words and rearrange them. It fits rather well with my trivia knowledge. It's rare that I don't know at least 3 words of the revealed category.

18. Civilization (1991)
I haven't played any of the Civilization games for more than a few minutes, but I used to watch my 10-years-older-than-me brother play it. He still plays the newer games in the series, and I think those are pretty much the only videogames he plays.

15. Tomb Raider (1996)
Much of the reason that we didn't get an N64 is that we got a nice PC at the end of '96. So instead of Mario 64, I got Tomb Raider. I got stuck about halfway through, lost in a navigation puzzle. The visuals were cinematic, but the gameplay was repetitive.

14. Mario 64
I've never been more impressed by and hyped for a game. I'd wait in line to try it at the store. Controlling Mario is a joy, in a way that hasn't been matched by a non-Mario 3D platformer since.
I asked for an N64 for my 14th birthday, but it was sold out, and I never got one.

10. Minesweeper
I programmed a Minesweeper clone on my TI-83 calculator during high school (not as part of a class).
I wish I could say this was the start of a long journey of making games, but I haven't really made any in the 25 years since then, except a couple attempts that went nowhere

9. The Online Museum of Multiplayer Art
I remembered this one two days ago, but didn't remember the name, and Google was no help, so I asked in a couple places, and got a reply.

There's a chat room in this where each word can only be a single time before it's censored.

4. 350 in 1
I had very few NES games. Games were expensive and I had no money, being a kid. But a family friend picked this up on an overseas trip.
It didn't actually have 350 games. It had maybe a tenth of that. It has Twin Bee, but also Double Bee, which was just a modded version of the game.

3. Bridge Builder (2000)
I like engineering games, puzzle games, physics games, and optimization, so I loved this game. It's just over 100 kb
This one had some quality of life updates a few years later. This is the earliest bridge building game I am aware of.

2. Mega Man 2
The Mega Man series was a highlight of the NES generation. I rented and borrowed most of the games.
I remember sitting at the kitchen table at my friend's house and designing and drawing new robot bosses. I came up with Magic Man and Hose Man.

I'm going to try this. No particular order.
First up: Pod (1997)
I made a fan webpage with a friend of mine.
I love the variety of tracks, including free downloadable tracks/cars.
I got a 3dfx Voodoo card for it, and got motion sick the 1st time I tried 60fps

What they thought of the economy was largely biased by which team they were on. If Trump had been president the past 4 years and the economy has been exactly the same, the numbers would be mostly flipped. Though, to be fair, the overall average sentiment has also been down during Biden's term.
