I want to see if I can get a spark of the “old internet” back by making a starting page for myself with all kinds of cool websites. But not sure where to start because Google obviously will not work for this.

So… what are some of your favourite websites?

neal.fun definitely deserves a mention.

These games also have a similar feel:
Paper Trader
Guess The Year

I miss old StumbleUpon! It was great for this. Someone recently introduced me to Flashpoint Archive and I have a hunch that there’s a bunch of good stuff there.

Ooh yeah, the Flashpoint Archive is an amazing resource! I’ve dabbled in it before. Great blast from the past!

Wiby, particularly the “surprise me” option is great for old school sites and that StumbleUpon feeling!

Oh goodness… Why did you have to introduce me to a clicker game?. Welp, I guess I’ll cancel all my appointments for the next few days.
