I'm obsessed with the one I got https://www.stinkymeat.net/stinkymeat/day1/
A guy dropped raw meat on a plate in his neighbors lawn and documented the decomposition.
http://www.themostamazingwebsiteontheinternet.com/
Truly the most amazing website on the internet. (Just a heads up, there are some flashing images)
I went in for seconds and landed here: http://firedrake.org/roger/csarchive/universe/states.htm This is sooo cool and I don't even know what it is! Has anyone heard of Crimson Skies computer game??
Its premise seems to be that America failed. The link took me to the write-ups of what happened to the states. Example: "Montana and Wyoming have largely fragmented. All government is local, and the locals seem determined to keep it that way. The population is completely disgusted with national government and aims to show that local government can perform far better than any distant bureaucracy. Portions of Wyoming and Montana have been claimed by other states, but by and large this is the most lawless and best armed stretch of the West."
Another: "The bulk of Nevada is desert, not even worth the effort of laying claim to. Most of the inhabitants southeast of the Sierra Nevadas are desert air pirates, scrub ranchers, and rattlesnakes."Not gonna lie...it got me at Air Pirates!
What are the odds that the random website it gave me was my physics study guide in high school? The Hyperphysics website
This was a fun one to get directed to. Quite a reminder of what reddit used to be. http://amatranscripts.com/
That's a bookmark for me! And as a slightly related recommendation, if you like this stuff, you should play Hypnospace Outlaw.
Edit: Since everyone is sharing what they got, the link led me to some cool pixel fonts
A whole website dedicated to alchemy and alchemical accessories. Super neat! https://www.alchemywebsite.com/
I got a curated list of shortcuts found on different tracks in Mario Kart 64.
https://davidwonn.kontek.net/mk64.html
Looks like it hasn't been updated since 1997. I kinda wanna track down the author and see if he's kept up with some of the new world record tricks that have been found since then!
I got https://www.geocities.ws/misterralls/index.html and now I want to know how Mike Ralls is doing since the enshitification and whether he continued rock climbing

I've realized this true randomness is something that current Web does not offer, all the algorithms are so optimized to keep bringing "what interests you" or "what interests lot of people".
The randomness is so addictive, and perhaps even a bit dangerous.
I got the albino squirrel preservation society. It doesn’t get more random than that. I checked out a couple more and it makes miss the old web of the 90s.
I got https://www.w3.org/History.html which is very apt
This person is still updating their Mug root beer site. Just updated on 2022.
This is certainly unexpected: http://n64devkit.square7.ch/
I also ended up in a page for a family with links to webcams and a bunch of old family photos.

The internet has changed so much, I automatically assumed this was a furry website when I landed there http://diabellalovescats.com/
Tbh I am still not 100% convinced that it is not.
Poor mykel felps
This is legitimately interesting stuff. Cool little site.
Can a Human See a Single Photon?
https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Quantum/see_a_photon.html
It sent me to someone's obituary.
I got sent to some nutjob's site where he tells you all about the superior space technology NASA refuses to use called slingshotting the rockets into space. I say nutjob because most of his site is dedicated to conspiracy theories and holy shit it's still active he's even got a youtube now
More fun and innocent - Speculative biology! Hell yeah weird alien turtle dinosaurs! Actually pretty cool and I think still active? The illustrations are really neat
Also hilariously, I also found a site all about finding interesting web 1.0 pages which even links to what you've linked. It's also full of tips and tricks on how to recreate that web 1.0 jank on your own blog!
A collection of free-to-use photography:

reminds me of that site? app? that would send you to a random website. that's how i stumbled upon reddit. oh yeah... it was called stumbleupon.
A site "Last revised: August 16, 1995" that's still intact and accessible. Looks like something straight out of geocities http://www.fluffy.com/fluffy/Fluffyhome.html

This is cool! I landed on an old Doom WAD review page.
This is gold
Got redirected to https://www.operating-system.org/ , which looks web 2.0 rather than 1.0... And seems like the kind of site that I actually want to read, nonetheless
Does anyone know how do I make a shortcut to this on an Android phone?
OP, thank you very much for this. You've made my day.
net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED
Found Hank Shrader’s favorite site http://www.tigerminerals.com/
Absolutely fascinating. Horrifying in a way, but fascinating!

"Clean Bible jokes, puns, and trivia"
Oh this is fun. http://inthe80s.com/
Edit: Tried again and got a quick glimpse of an old geocities page before I got a popup that told me my iphone was infected. Lol
This is amazing
Oh cool. It sent me to, uh, a furry website.
Got an interesting page on the security of the world wide web.
The link I got was http://pages.swcp.com/~mccurley/danger/mailbomb.html
Which as discovered by clicking "go back to previous page" as well as context on the page was that it was a redirect from all of the links on this page: http://pages.swcp.com/~mccurley/danger/danger.html that were things like "click here to (do x bad thing) to your machine"
Feels weirdly nostalgic even though I wasn't there during web 1.0.
The Web 1.0 is a lot like the Gemini protocol but older imo.
