Every Noise At Once: Recommend this website to find new music that suits your tastes. Play around with the options at the top, best way to see what they do.
I am sure it's fairly known around here but at my work we regularly use https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ to generate faces for social media mock-ups.
I always, always recommend Photopea for those who can't install programs like adobe or free ones like firealpaca/paint dot net. It's extremely powerful.
Very much not a professional user, but thanks to Photopea I have had no need to have Photoshop/Gimp/forget-what-else-I've-used for a few years now and I like it that way!
It's browser based which means there's no bare metal CPU or GPU calls in can make. It all has to go through the browsers interpreter. That massively limits it's potential.
It's uses ChatGPT to work out which news stories are the most significant so it can show only the important ones. It's great and has been my main source of world news since I started using it a few weeks ago.
codewars.com to practice coding algorithms
codecademy.com to learn to code
chat.openai.com is an absolute game changer for getting pointed in the right direction when it comes to trying to understand concepts
Super specific, but one that saves my life for programming tasks on my job almost on the daily is https://curlconverter.com/
It translates a REST API call from any one language to another. Thanks to this site, if you know, for example, the curl command for a REST request, you know how to do it in Python Requests, Ansible, Javascript, you name it. And of course it works the other way around as well.

https://search.marginalia.nu/ is a great little search engine for research. It favors results that would most likely be buried in the larger engines, excellent for finding lesser known sources.
Also the “random” button is a lot of fun, and fairly nostalgic if you remember the late 90s-early 00s web. Lots of geocities style personal websites still out there apparently.
It may not have the bs, but I've looked at wikivoyage for some places I'm familiar with and the recommendations are really weird or sub-par for the most part, especially for food and drink.
Not necessarily useful but really cool and I'd love a digital watch face that does this. https://sunclock.net/
Essentially it's just a 24 hour analog clock's hour hand over colors representing what the sun is doing. It really helps me understand when the sun is going to set so much more than a number.
I believe analog clocks are more useful for understanding the flow of time than digital clocks. Digital clocks have this thing where a few.minutes before the top of the hour can still feel like an hour (or at least somewhat) before the hour. Meanwhile with an analog clock it just looks really close. Heck, you might even misread it as being past the hour mark. So take all of that brilliant fuzziness and overlay it on a graphic representing what the sun is doing and it all just really comes together into a beautiful tool.
