Similar, went to take your kid to work day with my dad sometime in the 90s. Looked at fractals and MC Escher art.

Looking for cheats, or downloading trackmania car mods I can't remember what came first.
Playing flash games on cartoon network and nickelodeon. Not long after, my uncle exposed me to newgrounds. Good times.
Someone tried to get me to check out meatspin. Insisting it was a wonderful recipe site. I politely declined as I am a vegetarian.
My very first was my dad showing me his ICQ convos and letting me say hi to one of his friends, the client going OH-OH every now and then. Late 90's.
I can't even remember. It was dial-up, and I probably found my way to those sites for kids that were coming out around movies and kids TV stations.
The earliest things I can remember using the internet for were looking up cheats for video games, and Neopets, lol
