Technology

This takes me back to the glory days of stumbleupon.

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.

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!

http://www.themostamazingwebsiteontheinternet.com/

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

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

A whole website dedicated to alchemy and alchemical accessories. Super neat! https://www.alchemywebsite.com/

This was a fun one to get directed to. Quite a reminder of what reddit used to be. http://amatranscripts.com/

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!

What are the odds that the random website it gave me was my physics study guide in high school? The Hyperphysics website

Oddly this is way more entertaining than reddt was on it's best days.

Hey OP. Let's make a community out of this. Where we post each site that link took us to.

Reminds me of the days of StumbleUpon, good times on the internet back 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

That's honestly a work of modern art

Endless fun.

I got a nice hit:

http://toastytech.com/evil/index.html

I got the history of AM radio and then something called Hot Dog Linux lmfao

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS (nsfw)

I ... can't stop clicking

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.

Apple 2e vs modern computers: https://danluu.com/input-lag/

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.

Hanna Montana themed Linux: https://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/index.html

This person is still updating their Mug root beer site. Just updated on 2022.

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

http://phobialist.com/ wow.

This is so cool. Why am I legitimately this excited for old ass webpages?

The Pirate Surgeon

This is legitimately interesting stuff. Cool little site.

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.

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!

How to cook using a kettle.

Poor mykel felps
