Wow
This takes me back to the glory days of stumbleupon.
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 miss SU so much…this is awesome!
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.
This was… interesting.
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.
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!
I stopped at day 17. Not sure if it goes farther, but that was a rough one.
Reminds me of the days of StumbleUpon, good times on the internet back then
We were all so innocent (relatively) then
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!
That’s honestly a work of modern art
I … can’t stop clicking
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’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 miss web 1.0
I got the history of AM radio and then something called Hot Dog Linux lmfao
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
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.
Oddly this is way more entertaining than reddt was on it’s best days.
This is some big stumbleupon energy.
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!
