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.

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 It's a bummer that the family members' individual pages are no longer active, but this just had a time-capsule kind of charm to it.

Another thing we've lost: photos with imperfections.

The individual pages are still there, just not linked to on the main page. You can find the URLs by looking on archive:

I hope they had consent from the children to post that personal information online!

I miss when websites were fun.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

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

Thanks - I always forget about that!

Elise's early website (under <1999) is vintage web work. Even got on the Discovery Channel! We don't make websites that cool anymore.

Possibly good material for the Relics of the Old Web thread over at !webrevival@lemm.ee

Lolol

Also, I was out on the Mall with them for fireworks.

The Littlers have great taste in music. Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Buzzcocks, Misfits and more at the 9:30 Club. I could hang with these people.

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

930 was so awesome. It still is kinda awesome, but it was special back then too (and I know I didn't get to witness their true heyday in the old building). Once they opened the Anthem though, I feel 930 drifted more indie.

All those old memories are kinda neat.

Didn't expect to see so many of Donna's bikini pics.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I dunno, man.

They definitely labeled that folder as a beach vacation.

Early summer on the NC beaches can be a bit brisk with the wind. But they're the best beaches. :D
