    I have one I know for a fact y’all don’t know about, but if I told you I’d probably almost certainly out myself on that site. So, no, sorry, not telling.

    https://spaghettimodels.com/ aka, Mike’s Weather Page

    It’s just incomprehensible that Mike has resisted organization and web design so long. It’s like a fossilized web site from the early Internet, preserved in amber for us to see.

        I actually agree. I feel like there was a different ethos back in the earlier web that information density was a-ok. It feels like years more usable than just-in-time loading modules and constant clicking through pages.

    There was a website I remember back in the early 2000s about a fictional communist Canada. It was hilarious and awesome and wish I could even remember what it was called…

      AI: It sounds like you might be thinking of “The People’s Republic of Canada,” a satirical website that depicted a fictional communist version of Canada. It featured humorous content, including fake news articles, propaganda, and other comedic takes on Canadian culture and politics.

      Also AI: The domain for “The People’s Republic of Canada” was typically found at prc.ca. It was a humorous site that parodied a communist version of Canada.

    Leisure Town

    A comic, made with photos of posed bendy figurines. Was very influential in certain circles (like other, more obscure websites I won’t name). Still up, but hasn’t been updated in 20 years.

    Shit, as long as I’m posting websites from the 1900’s that are still up, there’s also Zombo.com.

      I actually had seen one page from this site because it talks about how a niche religion is WITCHCRAFT and SATANIC, but that front page is a work of art.

      Holy fuck that is unhinged. Side note, who is behind that site, and why do they have so many ads for Alex Jones? Kind of liking how they all link to the infowars domain, which is going to be owned by someone else soon hopefully though.

      The amount of insane content on that site is astounding. It was kinda nice how fast the plain HTML pages loaded though.

      Hannu’s Boatyard

      This site has probably the best disclaimer I’ve ever seen at the bottom of the page.

      And even more You must understand, that using a boat may be dangerous:
      -The boat may fall over.
      -You may fall out of the boat.
      -The boat may hit a rock.
      -Your shoes may get wet.
      -The boat may get filled with water.
      -The boat may sink.
      -Another boat may hit Your boat.
      -The boat may drift a long distance away.
      -You may get lost with the boat.
      -When rowing, You may get blisters in Your hands and butt.
      -If You get into water, You may drown or get hypothermia.
      -Killer sharks may attack You.
      -Anything else may happen
      

      👌

    If you want to see what various license plates look like from all of North America (as well as what they looked like in the past), there is a website that with a short URL. Strangely enough, the website never gone to https. The link is http://www.15q.net/

      I guess https isn’t strictly necessary if you’re not handling user input.

      There’s still an argument to be made that https prevents malicious code from being injected in transit.

    There used to be a site in the 90s that was my go to for… anime research purposes, yeah. Vham.com.br if memory serves (Viciados em Hentai, Anime e Mangá), it has probably been offline for more than 17 years now.
