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.

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.

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.

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 just gave me https://www.old-games.com/

Which is probably the coolest website.

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

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 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.

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

How does it find "web 1.0" sites? Does it just crawl sites and sort out the ones that don't use javascript or inline style tags? What rules does it use?
