Highly recommend hitting suprise me on https://wiby.me/
Generates a random web page that hasn't been updated in a while. It's such a fun window into niche litte worlds and reminds me of when the internet was way less vitriolic 10/10

if you’re a wikipedia addict like me and you like going down internet rabbit-holes, this is a cool website that will take you to random old websites that haven’t been updated in a while.
mostly it‘s a lot of old personal websites and blogs which makes it a really nice time capsule from before the internet died.

“Google isn't great at finding [old webpages], its focus is on finding answers to technical questions, and it works well; but finding things you didn't know you wanted to know, which was the real joy of web surfing, no longer happens.” -Wiby about page
I love Wiby.me! I’ve found some amazing old websites using its random page feature, but I know it also works as a search engine for these older pages.
It really brings back that sense of wonder you used to have for the internet as a kid in 2012…
