So, the other day I wrote about a website that helps you figure out whether or not it's raining somewhere. It turns out that this is a whole category of websites, but I think I just found the most useful "minimalistic information" website yet: It's called Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet, and seeks to answer just that question. At the time of writing, the answer is "Nope" - we're still here.
It's a marvel of minimalism, really. If you poke around the source you can see it uses JavaScript to figure out whether or not the world has ended yet, but it'll actually work even if JavaScript is disabled on your browser. I think it's iPad-friendly too, and should even work on my Kindle and my crappy ancient Nokia phone with its WAP browser. It also has the longest domain name I've posted on Download Squad to date. Kudos!
Joking aside, feel free to submit other single-purpose information websites in the comments!
