This is cool! I landed on an old Doom WAD review page.
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
Wow Berkshire Hathaway has the most geocities webpage, still
Woodworking for engineers

His YouTube channel is great.
Nice one, that’s a treasure trove of information!
Idk why but this has taken over the last half hour of my life lol

Endless fun.

I got a nice hit:

toastytech.com/evil/index.html

Internet Explorer is EVIL!

This was updated recently, even. Recent enough to mention Win11.
Woah, I don’t even know what to say. That was something else for sure.

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
Oh i remember that site. its just another shock site.
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.
The story behind creepy-as-hell ‘milk bath’ flyers

About a week ago, disturbing fliers began popping up around Los Angeles. Featuring horror movie-worthy images, they advertised a rather unsavory service: the chance to “bathe” in a stone-faced, sil…

The first hit was a txt page with a list of TEXT emoji and explanations… I should had seen that page 20 years ago and sent it to my dad.
…emoticons?
Damn you’re right. I know there was another term but it was late and it has been too long
It sent me to someone’s obituary.
Found Hank Shrader’s favorite site www.tigerminerals.com
MINERALS OF THE UNITED STATES

Bob Weaver's U.S. Mineral Collection. This web site has pictures of my personal mineral collection. All the states have minerals pictures. I also have minerals for sale.

I decided to look up a little history: history-computer.com/web-1-0/

I went in for seconds and landed here: firedrake.org/roger/csarchive/…/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 a great game!
Crimson skies was an awesome dieselpunk arcade plane game. It’s opened by Microsoft and the second game was a hit on the Xbox. I still have a copy. …wikipedia.org/…/Crimson_Skies:_High_Road_to_Reve…
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - Wikipedia

All those faction names are so amazing. Nation of Hollywood and Industrial States of America go hard.
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

WELCOME TO SOME NEW USES FOR BANANAS

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
I got imitationpickles.org and it wasn’t available lol

This was a fun one to get directed to. Quite a reminder of what reddit used to be. amatranscripts.com
AMA Transcripts from Reddit

Transcripts of popular AMA interviews from Reddit's ask me anything forums.

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

A website about belly dancing. And it was last updated in 2020!

Belly Dancing: Site Map For Art Of Middle Eastern Dance

Site map for Art Of Middle Eastern Dance, a belly dancing web site. It offers over 300 articles related to belly dancing: humor, poetry, translated song lyrics, tips and tricks, finger cymbal rhythms, a glossary of belly dance terms, Egyptian goddesses, and much more.

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!

MK64 shortcuts - The Comprehensive List

Got an interesting page on the security of the world wide web.

The link I got was pages.swcp.com/~mccurley/danger/mailbomb.html

Which as discovered by clicking “go back to previous page” as well as context on the page was that it was a redirect from all of the links on this page: pages.swcp.com/~mccurley/danger/danger.html that were things like “click here to (do x bad thing) to your machine”

I’m obsessed with the one I got www.stinkymeat.net/stinkymeat/day1/

A guy dropped raw meat on a plate in his neighbors lawn and documented the decomposition.

stinkymeat - day 1

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!

This was awesome! I got so invested in the story! You landed on a goldmine with this one!
I can’t believe someone has paid for that domain name for 23 years… O_O
His email aliases are definitely on point tho.
After a the first few days I realized: I have been to this site before. Easily over a decade or more ago.
I stopped at day 17. Not sure if it goes farther, but that was a rough one.
This was… interesting.
