This takes me back to the glory days of stumbleupon.
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
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.
What a ride!
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!
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.
I can’t believe someone has paid for that domain name for 23 years… O_O
His email aliases are definitely on point tho.
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!
I stopped at day 17. Not sure if it goes farther, but that was a rough one.
This was… interesting.

Truly the most amazing website on the internet. (Just a heads up, there are some flashing images)
some
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!
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!
A whole website dedicated to alchemy and alchemical accessories. Super neat! https://www.alchemywebsite.com/
This was a fun one to get directed to. Quite a reminder of what reddit used to be. http://amatranscripts.com/
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
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
Here’s something I got that looks like it was pulled straight from Hypnospace: http://d21c.com/bthelioness/KrazyPage.html
I totally thought of Hypnospace right away withthe link I pulled: http://jgeoff.com/homepage/
What are the odds that the random website it gave me was my physics study guide in high school? The Hyperphysics website
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!
Reminds me of the days of StumbleUpon, good times on the internet back then
We were all so innocent (relatively) then
That’s honestly a work of modern art
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 found him on LinkedIn. Looks to be happy. No idea if he is still climbing though. Finished his master’s degree however!
Oddly this is way more entertaining than reddt was on it’s best days.
This is some big stumbleupon energy.
