  • I still remember the following 2000s post to this day, nothing else:

    "Why strapping buttered toast to a cat's back will not produce infinite power"

  • Ha! I got excited one of my most beloved local search tools got updated: https://www.voidtools.com/

  • It's funny to think that early on (20-25 years ago) it rivalled Wikipedia in popularity, but very quickly fell behind. Its real strength was the community though. There were lots of meetups around the world. I made so many friends there when I was on the site 20 years ago or so, many on whom I'm still good friends with today.

  • For context, this site used to be popular back in the Slashdot days, around 1999 or 2000 or so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything2?wprov=sfla1

    I had forgotten about it completely and didn't realize it still existed. Wonder how it compares to Metafilter and reddit these days.

  • I don’t understand the suggested post, but I liked the authenticity within this website. I loved the content.
