Not sure how long its been around, but you can learn about the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide here:

https://dhmo.org/facts.html

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

The esthetics are +20 years old. While dihydrogen monoxide has been a staple in my dad humor repertoire, this site is a banger.

BTW, the post was downvoted. My guess is that it was one of the dyhidrogen oxide cartels.

So I'm going to toot my own horn here lmao but personally? Mine lol. Sure, technically doesn't precisely fit the bill for 20 years, given it's changed domains, content and the such while I was ironing out my interests in life and future expectations.

But I've had variations of the site for different projects, purposes, employment needs, and more recently the whole starting my own organization thing lol. All in all however, I'd compare it to those 3 generation soups that are a big selling point in family shops throughout the Asiatic, sure nothing of the original exists per se, but the spirit is there.

I do have such a soft spot for the old ascii and plaintext site design, I've never really left the scheme since I first learned html. To me, the more basic a site has made it's web design the more likely I am to trust it. Something about corporate web design just never sits right with me.

I was going to say https://apatheticagnostic.org/ but some unapathetic asshole updated it.

[–] AntEater@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Www.Slackware.com At least the OS itself stays relatively current.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have a machine I keep it on. I still compile a kernel from time to time.

There's nothing to see there.

[–] Kiernian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

A site that started as a forum for one particular class in one old (pre-dates WoW) MMO.

The population dipped a little when Facebook took off then nosedived again 6+ years later when reddit started getting super popular, but there are still a handful and change of us around with old friends dropping in to visit here and there.

The webshop (I guess) at https://arngren.net/ has had the same avantgarde layout forever. They used to specialise in flying cars.

https://epguides.com/ is what I've been using for about that long to get a list of episodes that are available for various shows.

Was coming to post MeFi if wasn't already here, had to scroll all the down though. Seems fitting seeing your name at the end of a bunch of comments!

Dunno about 20, but Geizhals.de

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

The Spoiler website for cheats and walkthroughs and hasn't been updated for decades. Still running good. If you are looking for help on a major PC release for MS-DOS and 90s windows they probably have you covered.

Oh, I know the answer to this one: superbad.com (suitable for work).

Not sure how old this website is, but judging by the design, it looks older than me.

It's has transcriptions of all my favourite TV series!

Www.pinside.com

Pinball related forums. Often times it's the only resource you need for anything pinball related, which is good, because there aren't really many other alternatives.

https://www.myronsmopeds.com/ is also another excellent site for moped information
