You are sure that no one has heard of Homestar Runner on a website of technology savvy early adopters whose age averages in the 30s and 40s?
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.
woah I love this. No navigation needed, you just zoom and scroll at will to whatever takes your interest
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.
Amerikan!
I use his site all the time! Took a while to get the hang of where to find stuff but most important links and data is all there.
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.
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.
websites from the 1900s
how dare you
All hail Zombo.com

Spent way too long solving a sliding puzzle. Love the pop up “Puzzle solved!” at the end.
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.
Oh darn, it seems the website isn’t up anymore. It was, to my knowledge, never archived and never properly indexed by a search engine. I have no screenshots, so it’s basically lost media. All this to say it’s unlikely anyone here has heard of it.
Well, it was an IWW split called the “International Workers of the World” (it seemed to be composed of at most 3 people). If my notes are right it was internationalworkersoftheworld.org (seems even DNS is completely dead now). Their webpage was simple HTML, from the dates it hadn’t been updated in years, and most of the body was complaining about IWW internal politics, and people who had long moved on from the union.

PLASTERof PAradISe. It was one of the first websites I came across accidentally back in about 1995, I just checked and it still exists (on Geocities!) It’s a fetish site with links to every instance of movies, shows, books etc. with people wearing full body, arm and leg casts. I remember it even had episodes of the Simpsons where casts were depicted. “To each his own”, I guess!
For a loooong time I kept ‘Amish Rake Fight / GFY’ on a bookmark to send to people.
It was just a page with a middle finger saying ‘Go Fuck Yourself’ and a counter saying how many people have been told to go Fuck Themselves.
After a decade or so, there was a page added with hate mail & various threats…the owner I’m sure had lots of fun with it. AFAIK it stopped working about 5-6 years ago.
https://www.lmfdb.org/ for people deep into analytic number theory rabbit hole.
I mean it’s not good but https://jesus-is-savior.com/ is just rabbit hole upon rabbit hole. CW: gore, sexism, queerphobia, probably other bigotry
spoiler because finding it yourself is definitely an experience
somehow the most insane part of the website is when you find the Hawaiian music https://jesus-is-savior.com/sounds/music_from_my_heart.htm
Mahalo, spelunkers
The amount of insane content on that site is astounding. It was kinda nice how fast the plain HTML pages loaded though.
