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.

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

[–] Rakust@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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

Wow! Back to the 90/00's

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

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

This looks like a 15 year old girl's personal Backstreet Boys shrine website from 1997 and it's amazing

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.
