Top 10 Websites You Would Have on a Deserted Isle
Other than the minimal requirements for life, you are only able to browse one particular website. Muszaj.hu is not the best choice, as all it says is "muszáj."Search engines and link collections like Google or Useborn don't count because they can hardly be utilized without the websites you find with them. Shopping sites aren't the best choice either because you have no credit card to go with them.
I grew up on Hungarian media, so some sites here won't mean anything to you. You can fix this by remixing the list. Also, I don't know any exotic websites that might belong on this list, just the best-known ones.
YouTube is a global video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno, California, United States. The service was created by three former PayPal employees on February 14, 2005. In November 2006, it was acquired by Google for US$1.65 billion. YouTube is ranked as one of the most visited websites, securing... read more The most obvious choice for number one. You can listen to 99% of the music most people know, vlog about building your hut and living your life (if you have recording tools), and feel free to add what you would use YouTube for on a deserted isle.
I need my YouTube if I'm going to live on a deserted island.
Obvious number one as well. With the Wayback Machine, you can view any popular website if you know the URL. This is surely better than any of those sites on their own, although you can't contribute to them, only read. That's why it's second to YouTube.
Even so, the Wayback Machine is only one of the things this site offers. There are millions of files from every multimedia genre.
In my opinion, the main criteria for this list is that the websites should be comprehensive and cover a broad range of topics that can keep your attention for years.
Maybe you can start writing your own "how to survive on a deserted isle" article, although there is already one.
I guess it would be practical if you find the right articles from this website. Yes, they have strange or pointless articles, but they sometimes have some good ones that can be useful in particular situations.
Possibly the forum covering the widest range of topics. I just looked at the most recent questions, which range from trucks to artificial intelligence, monetary world issues, and Harry Potter.
Over 59,000 free e-books are available in various categories like animals, classics, crime, education, general works, geography, history, law, music, psychology, religion, science, and technology. This means everyone's interests would be met.
This is the kind of site you might take with you if you survived the apocalypse, as a lifetime isn't enough to read it all.
Or any blogger site, for that matter. I put this here because it would be fun and of public interest to write blog post series about your struggle for survival and your occupation of nature.
TheTopTens seems to hate this site for some reason. It might not be very fun to read, but there are endless possibilities for writing. You can make fun of everything that happens around you without mentioning names or places.
If trees are being cut down everywhere in your neighborhood, you can satirize it. This is the site I use to express my feelings toward the world.
YouTube is banned in China, and Tudou is the most popular video website there. It might not make much sense to users of this site, but since 1/5 of the world's population is Chinese, 1/5 of the world's population would gladly choose this site as number one.
TheTopTens is a countdown-based website founded and created in 2005 which consists of user-generated content. Visitors can vote, comment, like other comments, and view user-created remixes. Registered users can use the additional features of the site - such as creating lists, remixes, posts, messaging,... read more Totally need this. It's a great way to pass the time when you're bored.
Makes sense. You would probably be alone on this deserted island, so I suppose it would be as good a way as any to avoid feeling lonely or going totally insane.
