What's your favorite internet "oldie"? (beehaw.org)

In honor of the death of Reddit (I hope), let's harken back to a simpler time, perhaps when we old-timers were migrating from BBS chatting to Slashdot to Reddit. My favorite "oldie" is "The Website Is Down," from 2009-ish. It perfectly captures what IT support is like.

What's your fave?

newgrounds (The Impossible Quiz, anyone remember the square root of an onion?), Numa Numa, The Evolution of Dance, Shortbits 2, Badger Badger Badger (and other Weebl animations), Onyxia Wipe Animation, bash.org, Stumble Upon (a useful toolbar?!), all sorts of great stuff from that time

StumbleUpon was great, I miss it.

Ironically I remember it bringing me to reddit a few times and I did not like it at all at the time haha. I just wanted to see more crazy websites and read the SU comments. It was always fun to find yourself on some website through some other means, and then checking to see if there was any comments about it on stumble upon and being pleasantly surprised when there was
