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 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.
woah I love this. No navigation bar 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 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.
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.
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.

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/
A remake of the og website sodaconstructor

I've missed Sodaplay and Sodaconstructor!
Amazing nostalgia. I can't remember how to do it!
If it makes you feel better, I don't think I ever really knew how to do it.
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.

how dare you
All hail Zombo.com

Woman got special government permission to go motorcycling in Chernobyl. She took pictures.
The site is still around.

Spent way too long solving a sliding puzzle. Love the pop up "Puzzle solved!" at the end.
A Girls World.
Back in the 2000s, a place for young girls. Articles, recipes, I think games? I edited articles for a bit. I use to be able to directly connect where I'd been online to there, in the sense of, "banner on website suggested this website and talked to people there which lead to this and then that and now to here" but my memory is bad now so I can't.
If it still exists I doubt it's anything like the original.
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?
Look at my pfp. :-)

I know that one thanks to another post I saw here, days ago
http://www.vk2zay.net/ Maybe this is obscure enough?! I miss hobby sites like this!
Wow those calculators
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.
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!

Not obscure enough, cool site though! Used to post there and amateurpyro, mtbs3d and a few others
Browser based game with slidehopping. I like to call it the only non dead movement shooter.
Anyone remember technorati? What about the nethernet? Ah that brings me back...
lots of weird sites that exist that probably only their creator visit
This site has probably the best disclaimer I’ve ever seen at the bottom of the page.

There used to be a site called mingers.com
It was just pics of really ugly people
Obviously doesn't exist now!
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.
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.
