Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Found a random family's old website from the early 2000's (littler.net)

I love finding these random, old websites since the vast majority are just gone. It's a bummer that the family members' individual pages are no longer active, but this just had a time-capsule kind of charm to it.

I miss when websites were fun.

Social media enshittified so much. This gave me flashbacks to the stuff I built when I was teaching myself HTML in high school.

Geocities and angelfire were really fun to peruse and find the weirdest stuff

Homestarrunner just did a 2025 throwback to exactly this.
