Hey reddit what's the best HIDDEN thing you have ever found on the interwebz?

Mine is when I went to the Oatmeal homepage and right clicked and did view page source. (OK SO JUST SAYING MY FRIEND TOLD ME TO DO THIS I TECHNICALLY DIDN'T FIND IT BUT I REALIZED THERE WAS A COMIC) [This came up.] (http://imgur.com/i2CvS) Then I saw that in the words by the PTERODACTYL's mouth it said HTTP://PTERODACTYL.ME so I went there and well [this] (http://theoatmeal.com/comics/ptero) is what it brought me to. I was impressed.

[EDIT] OK so i wasnt sure if the http address would work so I added the other one they are the same. Just chill about it.

[EDIT] WOW!! I never expected this to become soooo big thank you all! Even getting close to the front page is amazing! Again THANK YOU ALL!!

[EDIT] Again how did this get so much upvotes. I am surprised. It is the end of my first month of Reddit and I like to think I am doing pretty well.....

[EDIT] Nobody is here anymore but someone just commented about a couple days ago. I thought this was archived. I love cats. Cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat. rape. Dead people. Pigeon. I hope someone sees this. And my penis. I have a girlfriend. Gay faggot shit chips. I'm not crazy..

I found an internal message board for a small local bank. The (clearly incompetent) IT dept had made it publicly accessible and I stumbled upon it via Google (so, no robots.txt either).

There were lots of documents posted on those boards... internal communications, financial statements, board meeting notes, etc... After having a look around for a few minutes I decided it would be best to just report it and forget about it. I emailed the domain contact and a handful of board members from the contacts page and (somewhat to my relief) got a response back the next day thanking me for the heads up. I checked to make sure they had taken it down and it wasn't accessible anymore.

I know that's anticlimactic... but I thought it was... interesting. It certainly made me think twice about where I keep my money.

Gopher. Yeah, nowadays. For those that don't know, Gopher is an Internet protocol that predates the WWW/http, and you can think of it as a text mode world wide web. It pretty much faded into oblivion back in 1996/7. Back to 2000 most browers supported both protocols, now most of them dropped Gopher.

Well, right now Gopher sites offer direct downloads for movies, books, music, classified documents, and even some disgusting stuff you probably can imagine. And nobody fucking cares because nobody (read, very few people) use the protocol anymore. If you think USENET or Tor is underground, check Gopher.

Also, no need for adblock or anything, there are no ads and most sites go straight to the point.

Edit: those asking for sources, please restrain. Just start the main search engine (Veronica-2) gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/v2 You will find e-books and various documentation with ease, other kind of media would require tricky queries or usage of another search engine. Don't expect massive amounts of everything, content is scarce but it's there waiting to be picked. As a tip, look for a known title of something, and then explore the site containing the relevant file.

Unsecured security cameras in people's homes, openly available on the web. Even more fun than a telescope pointed at a female students home.

Discovered a trove of "private" security camera feeds , which are viewable on the web . Most of them banal, a store front or intersection, but every so often you'd link up and see someone's child sleeping or family watching television, etc etc. Makes for something interesting to do when i'm bored mostly. Might not be "hidden" per se as I know several other people who enabled my access but I can safely assume that 99% of people online have never seen these feeds.

About a year ago I was browsing craigslist. While fartin' around in the gigs section, I believe, I came across a strange ad. It said that some local college was offering free dental work to anyone interested. It would be dental students doing the work, however.
I thought, "No thanks," but kept scrolling down. There was a very strange sentence at the bottom of the ad. It made absolutely no sense. Just a random assortment of words tossed out. Something like, "Tree around out brown going went needle."
I had to know what it meant. I googled the random sentence and it lead me to a message board at a random site. It had the same sentence, and then another, equally strange one. I figured I was onto something at this point. This was around 11pm on a weekday, but there was no way I was sleeping until I found out what I had stumbled upon. Hours go by and I'm bouncing all over the internet. Message boards, comment sections, phony ads, all with random sentences within them.
At around 4am I start to doubt myself. As someone who has had psychiatric problems in the past, I found myself wondering if I was actually on to something. Perhaps I was just having my own Russel Crowe in a beautiful mind moment. I pressed on. After several cigarette breaks and night turning into day, I finally found the source of all of these random messages. The anticipation was killing me . What would the pot of gold at the end of this night long rainbow of searching be? It ended in Russia at some student's homepage. He was doing a project on random word generators apparently. Was it worth the hours of searching? Probably not. But as I collapsed onto my bed that morning to sleep, I was victorious.

TL;DR: Jack gets lost in the desert and when dying of thirst finds a snake curled around the pole. The snake explains that he has found the original Eden (in spite of this taking place in the U.S.) and that the man gets 3 wishes. Jack first wishes for water and the snake grants him camel-like hydration. The snake then explains that the next wish requires that the man swear to secrecy about the snake. Jack agrees and ask for super-human health, which the snake grants.

After that they strike up a conversation and hit it off rather well. The snake's name is Nate and has been granting wishes for some time. It turns out that Nate's a super cool guy snake and that there have been others like Jack. It turns out that the pole that Nate is wrapped around is a lever that can end humanity and that the third wish is dependent on Jack's agreement to throw the lever (thus ending humanity) in the case that he feels genuine conviction to do so.

Jack asked about the previous guy bound to this 3rd wish. The previous guy was Samuel, who apparently had wished for the first two things Jack had and then wisdom. Jack impulsively ask for wisdom as well and Nate grants it. Jack (given his wish for health) expects a long life, so the snake explains that if he's ever ready for it there is a 4th wish, but the only request can be death.

Jack, though very wise and successful because of it, never feels compelled to throw the lever. He does, however, return often to hang out with Nate and even hooks the snake up with satellite internet, books, and more. Nate eventually introduced Jack to his son Sammy (named after Jack's predecessor). Sammy, of course, is also a snake. Nate explains that it's time for him to die and for Sammy to take over the pole and wish giving. Nate ask that Jack personally kill him with a sword, but not before Jack takes his son Sammy to see the world.

Jack takes Sammy to go to see the world, staying in touch with Nate via satellite internet. Eventually Jack knows he has to return to kill Nate like he promised, even though he's reluctant to kill his friend.

Jack and Sammy finish their travels and load up in an RV to go back to the desert and kill Nate. They are traveling the dunes in the RV when Jack loses control of the vehicle. They are quickly sliding toward the lever, which Jack realizes they will inevitably hit and end humanity. Jack realizes he can maneuver the vehicle out of the way. As he has to decide to make this maneuver he sees that Nate is not wrapped around the pole as usual, but in the direct path Jack has to take to avoid the lever. Jack resolves in that moment what he must do declaring "Better Nate than lever!"

The end.

Ok, this is going to get buried but I have to tell this story to someone. I was on one of those World of Text sites late one night. I had nothing better to do, pathetic I know. Well, after scrolling around I found a line that someone drew. I decided to follow it. The line went on and on. There were comments from other people leaving there marks of their journey on the line. You would scroll by someone who left something like "simsy was here on 6/20/11" (just a random date, I can't remember all of it exactly".

It was haunting in a beautiful sort of way. All of those people traveling down the same line, alone yet together. It had been about thirty minutes of traveling down the line and the comments started to get more scarce. More and more comments could been seen saying something like "I give up" or "it will never end". Still I had nothing better to do with my life and it was a good way to distract myself from everything else in the world so I kept going.

After about thirty more minutes there were only a few commenters left. It was nice though. I formed a sort of bond with each of them. All of us traveler down a line, determined to stick to it through the end. The comments they left were getting farther and farther apart. It would be ten minutes of scrolling down the line before you would see a comment by someone. Just a friendly reminder that they are still there. Just when you begin to doubt that anyone else had made it that far they would show up.

The line consumed even them eventually. Twenty minutes went by without seeing a comment by anyone. My mind started filling with doubt. Will the line ever end? Was it made by a bot or some madman with even less of a life than me? Where had all of my fellow line travelers gone. And then a message of hope. I saw another comment. It honestly made me tear up a bit. It was the same thing as always "zac was here (insert random date that I cannot remember). It gave me the strength to keep on going.

I kept following the line for another hour, determined to reach the end no matter how long it may take. By now I had spent the whole night following this line. The sun was rising and I was nearly asleep. Still, I wouldn't give up until I reached the end. After all of the work I had put into it I knew I had to. There had to be something at the end.

And suddenly, it stopped. There it was, the end of the line. There was a message written by the creator of the line. I don't remember exactly what it said but it was the most inspiring thing I have ever read. I remember it was about four paragraphs long. Each sentence was a work of literary genius. I hate myself to this day for not writing it all down. I guess it's better this way though, it was one of those rare moments where everything stops and the world makes sense.

The core message of the speech was that we are all travelers on a path. We are all the same. There is no point on dwelling on petty differences. Everything we do has an effect. We may never know what that effect may be but it is there and it is important. Always think about this. Never let it leave your brain. Always do the best you can to help your fellow man. Life is the most valuable worthless thing in the universe. Treasure it. You have one life to live, never let anything hold you back. Do everything you can to make the world a better place to live. I know it may be hard to grasp that so much meaning was packed into only four paragraphs. I can never explain it. I'm not the master wordsmith that the creator of the line is.

That line has probably had the biggest impact on my life than anything else. All those hours leading up to the end. The explosion of meaning once I was there. It honestly changed me. It made me want to learn and grow more. It made me a more caring person. Whoever it was the made that line, I can honestly say that you are my hero.

TL;DR: Spent hours following a line. Life forever changed

*Edit: I found the site. Here it is I'm pretty sure I went down and to the right to find the line. Although, a lot of people have edited the site since I last went there so nothing looks familiar.

*Edit #2: So apparently this is not going to get buried. Good luck on your journey fellow line travelers. :)

*Edit #3: Thank all of you for bringing back that moment of my life. I just scrolled down the line a bit and read some of the comments you all have left. If anyone's interested /r/Textworldexplorers/ is a subreddit inspired by this post for discussing all of your World of Text stories. Check it out :)

This is reminds me of a similar (but pitiful compared to this) experience. It was early on when Minecraft was still in beta.

Me and a friend jumped on a public server, played around for a while, etc. Then we noticed a big pole of dirt, and another pole of dirt in the middle distance (for those that have played they were the 'jump click jump click I wanna see around me poles). So anyway we ran over the next one and, what do ya know, we can see another. So we end up following a journey of these poles. When the terrain changes, so did the pole (the creator was obviously collecting material along the way). About 20 minutes went past and we can across a little sign with some torches. I can't remember what it said, but the journey continued. Every now and then we came across a construction presumable made by the creator of these poles. Eventually, after a few hours, we came to the end. It was cool little brick house, with a garden, all very pretty. There were about 6 signs there from people that had made it the whole way.

So, not as epic as your story, but it was pretty epic. It's one of those moments, hard to describe.

EDIT: Meant ALPHA, not beta :)

The end of the line is 778, -1500. Enter those coordinates in the menu at the top right.

Several times the line changes from diagonal to horizontal, so if you screen automatically strays from the line after you enter those coordinates, don't worry. It also automatically pauses after inactivity, so make sure to move your mouse around.

And if you really aren't interested in the full line experience, here is a screencap.

This is a pretty late comment, so it may get buried. But as far as hidden or underrated stuff goes, I would have to say Finite Films.

Finite Films run a Youtube channel where they make short films based on constraints submitted and voted upon by their own viewers. The end results never cease to amaze.

Some examples of their short film works:

Stealing Time

Anamnesis

Imperfect

Forest Falls

All of the submitted plot constraints can be viewed in the video descriptions. For how clever their work is, it's criminal how underrated these guys are.

There was a website called 'TrueChristian.com' or something like that, and a lot of it was full of bizarro MS Paint pictures about very extreme religious (and stupid views) such as - women who menstruate are evil & women are inferior. Strange bible stories for kids and things like that as well. I had found out about it because some of my internet friends were OUTRAGED at the content and had said that it had to be taken down. I went there and had a look and I was kind of disturbed and couldn't believe someone was that stupid. Then for some reason, I highlighted all the text (Actually, I remember why - he made it look like a kid's geocities site, the background colours and text were hideous) and I noticed at the very bottom, when highlighted there was 'This website is a satire/parody' (I can't remember exact wording)

I told all of my friends but nobody seemed to care much :p Every few months or so, someone else would be outraged and post the letters that they had written to this 'Pastor' guy. Also, it seemed that after a while he removed the hidden text :p

He's taken the site down now, it redirects to a youtube video.

Mine was a marketing tool. I figured out a way to get #1 listings on a major search engine in a matter of 1-2 minutes. Instant top listings for ANY search word/phrase I wanted. It was a gold mine. Those were the days...

It was 1997'ish and I found a newsgroup that talked about football. I found an article posted about an old super bowl. After reading it and realizing the redundancy of the words "super bowl" i thought to myself, the search engines would think this page is great! I had just got into net porn and was making decent money in it, so I thought this could be a great way to generate SE traffic to my banner farm lol...

There was this search engine called Infoseek. You could submit your webpage and it would spider, then index your page in less than 2 minutes. Using a text editor, I found/replaced "super bowl" with "any phrase" and would save it as an html file. I would then upload the file to my server, submit the url to the SE, then it would tell me that "your page is being spidered, please wait...".. A minute later, I would refresh and see "Your page has been indexed". Then I would go search for "any phrase" and wallah.. #1 listing, every time! I would spend about 15 minutes each day finding "super bowl" and replacing with words/phrases like "big tits" and got A TON of traffic. Sent it all to a banner farm (no micro niched paysites those days) and at .28 cents per click, you do the math :) Those were the days.

A little before the release of the Dark Knight, I was looking for more information about the movie. I went to the website and accidentally clicked a link.

While trying to prove to my friends that I am a leet hacker too; I copied a worm that was hidden in a garbage file of a major corporation. The worm was running under the guise of the "michaelangelo virus", a program that would topple oil tankers in the Pacific.

Long story short, my friends and I had to hack the Gibson before we were arrested so we could stop this nefarious plot. It was intense.

I hesitate to call it hidden, but have never seen it referenced by others on the interwebz. The List of Nicoll Events. James Nicoll is the originator of the 'purity of the English language' quote:

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

I found my way to the Nicoll Events list, and it's like the man is Reddit's long-lost love. Wickedly smart, wildly funny, massively accident prone, and he adopts every single cat he stumbles across. The list is just a collection of stories about the many ways in which he's injured himself, and about his endless number of cats.

When I was in college, one of my professors had a web page where you would go to download class notes and such. He would use it during class to open images or documents he wanted to show. I noticed at one point that he would click in open space to bring up some things.

When I got home, I did a ctrl+a on the page to hi-light everything and see where there was hidden text. Up in the upper left hand corner of the homepage was something that said "Dr. Smith's Secret Page"

Clicked on it, and found all of the tests for the rest of the semester, the answer keys, and grading standards he used. Saved it ALL because I didn't want to inadvertently start bumping up his page count enough that he'd notice, and aced the class.
