A search engine that only indexes websites without javascript. Hit the "Surprise Me" button and get transported back in time to an era of internet that wasn't monetized and oversaturated with social media and commercial trash. It's so peaceful.

“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…

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.

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

I replaced my iPhone with a TCL Flip and I've never been more present. My brain feels like it got a massage. I thought it would be a lot harder to transition but it turns out I have hobbies, I just forgot about them.

I buy these whenever I come across them. One time, I googled the bachelor of the month from a May 1980 issue of Cosmo, just to see what he was up to now. He was a high end art dealer who had since been arrested, locked up for fraud, released, and became a best selling author from writing a book about the experience. The July 1980 bach of the month was Epstein. Every other page is a cigarette ad. All nail polish is red. It's chaos.

If you see people taking a selfie, always offer to take the photo for them. Bring good energy, have a little photoshoot and make sure you take at least 5 pictures.
You're basically taking their moment and turning it into a memory that isn't ruined by the front cam. It's also good karma.
