This takes me back to the glory days of stumbleupon.
-
I miss SU so much...this is awesome!
-
Exactly, it's giving me big nostalgia flashbacks to the pre-reddit days. I was on SU so much for years, used the social communities, and was pretty excited to discover reddit. I can't believe it's been 20 years, ouch
-
-
I'm obsessed with the one I got https://www.stinkymeat.net/stinkymeat/day1/
A guy dropped raw meat on a plate in his neighbors lawn and documented the decomposition.
-
What a ride!
-
A steak, what appears to be maybe 2lbs of ground beef and a half dozen hotdogs for $7.31....
That would easily cost me $30 today!
-
As I read, I found myself tilting my phone back more and more to get the photos as out-of-focus as possible while still being able to read. By the time the hot dogs vanished, I found myself unable to continue.
I salute this person’s dedication to scientific discovery, but I could smell those photos through the screen. Nope.

-
I can’t believe someone has paid for that domain name for 23 years… O_O
-
His email aliases are definitely on point tho.
-
-
This was awesome! I got so invested in the story! You landed on a goldmine with this one!
-
I stopped at day 17. Not sure if it goes farther, but that was a rough one.
-
This was... interesting.

Truly the most amazing website on the internet. (Just a heads up, there are some flashing images)

I went in for seconds and landed here: http://firedrake.org/roger/csarchive/universe/states.htm This is sooo cool and I don't even know what it is! Has anyone heard of Crimson Skies computer game??
Its premise seems to be that America failed. The link took me to the write-ups of what happened to the states. Example: "Montana and Wyoming have largely fragmented. All government is local, and the locals seem determined to keep it that way. The population is completely disgusted with national government and aims to show that local government can perform far better than any distant bureaucracy. Portions of Wyoming and Montana have been claimed by other states, but by and large this is the most lawless and best armed stretch of the West."
Another: "The bulk of Nevada is desert, not even worth the effort of laying claim to. Most of the inhabitants southeast of the Sierra Nevadas are desert air pirates, scrub ranchers, and rattlesnakes."Not gonna lie...it got me at Air Pirates!
-
Crimson skies was an awesome dieselpunk arcade plane game. It's owned by Microsoft and the second game was a hit on the Xbox. I still have a copy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_Skies:_High_Road_to_Revenge
-
All those faction names are so amazing. Nation of Hollywood and Industrial States of America go hard.
-
Crimson Skies was a great game!
-
-
What are the odds that the random website it gave me was my physics study guide in high school? The Hyperphysics website
-
This was a fun one to get directed to. Quite a reminder of what reddit used to be. http://amatranscripts.com/
-
Reddit truly had some great AMAs. The first Bill Gates one was great, Obama’s was exciting. But my favorite moment was Ken Bone being revealed to be into pornography of pregnant women.
But enough about beautiful human submarines, can we please talk about rampart

-
I got a curated list of shortcuts found on different tracks in Mario Kart 64.
https://davidwonn.kontek.net/mk64.html
Looks like it hasn't been updated since 1997. I kinda wanna track down the author and see if he's kept up with some of the new world record tricks that have been found since then!
-
That's a bookmark for me! And as a slightly related recommendation, if you like this stuff, you should play Hypnospace Outlaw.
Edit: Since everyone is sharing what they got, the link led me to some cool pixel fonts
-
Here's something I got that looks like it was pulled straight from Hypnospace: http://d21c.com/bthelioness/KrazyPage.html
-
I totally thought of Hypnospace right away withthe link I pulled: http://jgeoff.com/homepage/

-
A whole website dedicated to alchemy and alchemical accessories. Super neat! https://www.alchemywebsite.com/
-
Reminds me of the days of StumbleUpon, good times on the internet back then
-
We were all so innocent (relatively) then
-
-
Oddly this is way more entertaining than reddt was on it's best days.
-
This is some big stumbleupon energy.
-
-
I got https://www.geocities.ws/misterralls/index.html and now I want to know how Mike Ralls is doing since the enshitification and whether he continued rock climbing
-
I found him on LinkedIn. Looks to be happy. No idea if he is still climbing though. Finished his master's degree however!
-
-
-
This was updated recently, even. Recent enough to mention Win11.
-
-
That's honestly a work of modern art
-
Hey OP. Let's make a community out of this. Where we post each site that link took us to.
-
I'm down. Mine was a cowboy beebop fan page.
-
let me know if/when you make it; i’ll join
-
-
Hanna Montana themed Linux: https://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/index.html
-
I got the history of AM radio and then something called Hot Dog Linux lmfao
-
I've realized this true randomness is something that current Web does not offer, all the algorithms are so optimized to keep bringing "what interests you" or "what interests lot of people".
The randomness is so addictive, and perhaps even a bit dangerous.
-
I got the albino squirrel preservation society. It doesn’t get more random than that. I checked out a couple more and it makes miss the old web of the 90s.
-
I ... can't stop clicking
-
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS (nsfw)
-
-
I don't... what is... why does...
I think I need to lie down.
-
That was more or less my reaction .-.
I expected something nice... but this was the first thing I got when I clicked the link
-
-
Woah, I don’t even know what to say. That was something else for sure.
-
It's a small website created by a comedian. You can see by the link at the bottom of the page. It's not actually NSFW, but I do like the pose of the old lady like she's some sort of horror movie serial killer.
-
Oh i remember that site. its just another shock site.
-
-
Apple 2e vs modern computers: https://danluu.com/input-lag/
-
I miss web 1.0
-
This is certainly unexpected: http://n64devkit.square7.ch/
I also ended up in a page for a family with links to webcams and a bunch of old family photos.
-
I got https://www.w3.org/History.html which is very apt
-
This person is still updating their Mug root beer site. Just updated on 2022.
-
Not to be confused with Mug, a root beer brand lol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mug_Root_Beer
-
-
I love how fast all those sites load
-
Are web rings back???
-
Honestly I think so, on neocities and others!
-
Make sure you reserve your space in Geocities! New neighborhoods opening monthly! Or you can host on Angelfire.
-
-
That is wild! Like a blend of nostalgia and time travel. When the internet was just free and wild. One of the pages had midi music!
-
This is legitimately interesting stuff. Cool little site.
-
https://www.reviewmylife.co.uk/kettlecookery/
How to cook using a kettle.
-
hey all you cool cats and kittens!
Fairly sure Carol Baskin made this website.
-
Poor mykel felps
-
I got sent to some nutjob's site where he tells you all about the superior space technology NASA refuses to use called slingshotting the rockets into space. I say nutjob because most of his site is dedicated to conspiracy theories and holy shit it's still active he's even got a youtube now
More fun and innocent - Speculative biology! Hell yeah weird alien turtle dinosaurs! Actually pretty cool and I think still active? The illustrations are really neat
Also hilariously, I also found a site all about finding interesting web 1.0 pages which even links to what you've linked. It's also full of tips and tricks on how to recreate that web 1.0 jank on your own blog!
-
This is so cool. Why am I legitimately this excited for old ass webpages?
-
They're a piece of living history. It's like being able to walk into a ren fair or look on a piece of art in it's creation
-
Because it's the closest we'll ever get to time traveling
-
-
-
His YouTube channel is great.
-
Nice one, that's a treasure trove of information!
-
-
It sent me to someone's obituary.
-
Can a Human See a Single Photon?
https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Quantum/see_a_photon.html
-
The nostalgia this brings me when I look at these pages and they are just straight to the point.
Sometimes I miss the old internet and web pages.
-
It was such an exciting time. Being an awkward teen back then the internet was a great place for me to socialize and meet new people. There was nothing better than seeing my hit counter number go up showing that people were visiting the website I made.
-
Now you're making me nostalgic for Myspace
-
-
-
A collection of free-to-use photography:
-
They’re even tagged!
The “bird” tag contains almost exclusively seagulls and chickens. Not a birdwatcher, I suppose.
-
-
A Buckethead fan site for all your Buckethead news, theories, and fan art.
A haiku from the author:
when he plays it's like
the sounds of those dead chickens
coming through his hands
-
.__. uhhh... This content is questionable.
-
what the..

-
The internet has changed so much, I automatically assumed this was a furry website when I landed there http://diabellalovescats.com/
Tbh I am still not 100% convinced that it is not.
-
-
idk what i got... wtf is this? http://www.silkentent.com/gus1911/RonPond.htm
-
This is what the internet used to be like. You'd have a very simple webpage/website set up dedicated to a hobby or something personal that might interest you and put it out there for people to come across and read. I really miss this era of the internet.
-
It’s like Journey to the Microcosmos, minus a budget.
-
-
That was a wild ride.... Top two: Heavens Gate and a furbo autopsy.
-
I remember when Heaven’s Gate was first on the news. I went online and looked at their site. You have to give them credit for maintaining it for all these years.
-
-
I got imitationpickles.org and it wasn't available lol
-
I got transformers gore
-
-
http://www.etfriends.com/ Exactly how I expected something like "ET-Friends" to look like.
-
There's content on there from 2020! Good to see that HTML template they bought 25 years ago is still going strong.
-
-
reminds me of that site? app? that would send you to a random website. that's how i stumbled upon reddit. oh yeah... it was called stumbleupon.
-
It just gave me https://www.old-games.com/
Which is probably the coolest website.
-
Nice.... It's got my favourite game from my childhood - Rick Dangerous
-
-
A site "Last revised: August 16, 1995" that's still intact and accessible. Looks like something straight out of geocities http://www.fluffy.com/fluffy/Fluffyhome.html
Wonder what Cathy or her sons are doing nowadays
-
Anyone want a game of dots and boxes? https://mathworld.wolfram.com/DotsandBoxes.html
