I miss SU so much...this is awesome!

Exactly, it's giving me big nostalgia flashbacks to the pre-reddit days. I was on SU so much for years, used the social communities, and was pretty excited to discover reddit. I can't believe it's been 20 years, ouch

What a ride!

As I read, I found myself tilting my phone back more and more to get the photos as out-of-focus as possible while still being able to read. By the time the hot dogs vanished, I found myself unable to continue.

I salute this person’s dedication to scientific discovery, but I could smell those photos through the screen. Nope.

A steak, what appears to be maybe 2lbs of ground beef and a half dozen hotdogs for $7.31....

That would easily cost me $30 today!

After the first few days I realized: I have been to this site before. Easily over a decade or more ago.

This was awesome! I got so invested in the story! You landed on a goldmine with this one!

This was... interesting.

I stopped at day 17. Not sure if it goes farther, but that was a rough one.

Wow

Crimson skies was an awesome dieselpunk arcade plane game. It's owned by Microsoft and the second game was a hit on the Xbox. I still have a copy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_Skies:_High_Road_to_Revenge

All those faction names are so amazing. Nation of Hollywood and Industrial States of America go hard.

Crimson Skies was a great game!

Reddit truly had some great AMAs. The first Bill Gates one was great, Obama’s was exciting. But my favorite moment was Ken Bone being revealed to be into pornography of pregnant women.

But enough about beautiful human submarines, can we please talk about rampart

We were all so innocent (relatively) then

This is some big stumbleupon energy.

I found him on LinkedIn. Looks to be happy. No idea if he is still climbing though. Finished his master's degree however!

I'm down. Mine was a cowboy beebop fan page.

let me know if/when you make it; i’ll join

This was updated recently, even. Recent enough to mention Win11.

Woah, I don’t even know what to say. That was something else for sure.

It's a small website created by a comedian. You can see by the link at the bottom of the page. It's not actually NSFW, but I do like the pose of the old lady like she's some sort of horror movie serial killer.

Oh i remember that site. its just another shock site.

Not to be confused with Mug, a root beer brand lol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mug_Root_Beer

Make sure you reserve your space in Geocities! New neighborhoods opening monthly! Or you can host on Angelfire.

Honestly I think so, on neocities and others!

His YouTube channel is great.

Nice one, that's a treasure trove of information!

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.

They’re even tagged!

The “bird” tag contains almost exclusively seagulls and chickens. Not a birdwatcher, I suppose.

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

Because it's the closest we'll ever get to time traveling

This is what the internet used to be like. You'd have a very simple webpage/website set up dedicated to a hobby or something personal that might interest you and put it out there for people to come across and read. I really miss this era of the internet.

It’s like Journey to the Microcosmos, minus a budget.

I wonder if all the Geocities sites are still up. I tried searching for the one I made when I was about 16. I called it Eric’s World. Cringe I know but still would be neat to see it at 45.

until just a few years ago many small sites were not https capable because globally trusted SSL/TLS certifcates were expensive and difficult to get. the amazing people at LetsEncrypt worked hard to fix this, however many ancient sites have not been updated to take advantage of easy https access.

the danger of visiting a http-only site is real (man-in-the-middle content injection and private information compromise), but likely not much more than actualy visiting the site wth https. an http-only site is possibly indicative of an unmaintained server and therefore a server that could be previously compromised and serving malicious content. of course, the same applies to an https server, but my guard is always up on an http only connection. obviously I would not pass sensitive information across an http-only connection.

use precautions (e.g. javascript off) when hitting random servers if you do decide to click links.
