Every time you click on this link, it will send you to a random Web 1.0 website

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)

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

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

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

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

https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles

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

Endless fun.

I got a nice hit:

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

That's honestly a work of modern art

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.

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

I ... can't stop clicking

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS (nsfw)

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.

Permanently Deleted

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

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

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!

Are web rings back???

http://phobialist.com/ wow.

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.

http://starmen.net/cult/

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

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.

That was a wild ride.... Top two: Heavens Gate and a furbo autopsy.

https://www.heavensgate.com/ http://phobe.com/furby/

It sent me to someone's obituary.

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!

https://geocities.restorativland.org/Area51/Dreamworld/2779/

Damn.

First link I got was this, very interesting: https://red-coral.net/Amer.html

https://emailmyheart.neocities.org

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

Eta: And this is where incels evolved from http://theabsolute.net/minefield/

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

"Secure site not available"

After few attempts I got: http://www.thewebsiteisdown.com/

I decided to look up a little history: https://history-computer.com/web-1-0/

http://richfiles.solarbotics.net/SunbirdChair.html

This guys chair is fucking legendary.

I got http://youma.demonek.com/ and I wonder how he's holding up

Wow Berkshire Hathaway has the most geocities webpage, still

This is cool! I landed on an old Doom WAD review page.

Many new uses for bananas. http://banana.fws1.com/banana.htm

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

Got frenchpastrychef.com

Edit: Tried again and got a quick glimpse of an old geocities page before I got a popup that told me my iphone was infected. Lol

Oh cool. It sent me to, uh, a furry website.

https://yerf.metafur.org/

Does anyone know how do I make a shortcut to this on an Android phone?

OP, thank you very much for this. You've made my day.

Got redirected to https://www.operating-system.org/ , which looks web 2.0 rather than 1.0... And seems like the kind of site that I actually want to read, nonetheless

This is amazing

Got an interesting page on the security of the world wide web.

The link I got was http://pages.swcp.com/~mccurley/danger/mailbomb.html

Which as discovered by clicking "go back to previous page" as well as context on the page was that it was a redirect from all of the links on this page: http://pages.swcp.com/~mccurley/danger/danger.html that were things like "click here to (do x bad thing) to your machine"

Feels weirdly nostalgic even though I wasn't there during web 1.0.

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?

Idk why but this has taken over the last half hour of my life lol

http://www.shira.net/sitemap.htm

A website about belly dancing. And it was last updated in 2020!

That's honestly a work of modern art

Absolutely fascinating. Horrifying in a way, but fascinating!

The Web 1.0 is a lot like the Gemini protocol but older imo.
