i always like to go on wiby.me (an old web search engine) and click on "surprise me..." it's a fun little rabbit hole for when i need to kill some time. lots of really old personal websites that feel like time capsules for something more "modern" but still cool to browse, can't go wrong with neocities.org or even nekoweb.org (on mobile rn, so i can't seem to format the links right... oops)

Might not be what you’re looking for, but I like browsing through Click Americana

yes! This is my current obsession actually
neal.fun - a bunch of bizarre games/interactives with a dystopian and anti-caplitalist bent window-swap - shows you the view from random windows from around the world radio/garden - you can listen to live radio stations from all across the world ytch.xyz - show you random youtube channels and let's you click through like you're watching an old television marginalia-search - a search engine that isn't algorithmic, shows you niche search results that would typically be pushed to the bottom of other engines thecreativeindependent - articles by creatives, very simplified retro design that feels similar to this site The Magazine Rack at Archive.org - tons and tons of scanned and archived magazines spanning over 50 years - recommend checking out High Times very fun and oh so 70's

surfing the web
the old-fashioned way, like you would before the entire internet was monopolised into basically three conglomerates. why would you spend all your time on your computer swapping between instagram tiktok youtube pinterest when you could find some of the coolest websites you've never heard about learning information your algorithm would never feed to you!!!! a good place to start is your favourite artist's websites (not just musicians!) sometimes they have blogs (especially if they're writers) and often they link websites they like. I also like magazine websites - the face, angel food, hot literati or craigslist missed connections. I check the new york section all the time

Internet archive has a pretty good scan collection
It may take some digging or logging in but following search sources or clicking on related term tabs could find you some cool stuff.
