    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.

    As I read, I found myself tilting my phone back more and more to get the photos as out-of-focus as possible while still being able to read. By the time the hot dogs vanished, I found myself unable to continue.

    I salute this person’s dedication to scientific discovery, but I could smell those photos through the screen. Nope.

    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!

    This was a fun one to get directed to. Quite a reminder of what reddit used to be. http://amatranscripts.com/

    What are the odds that the random website it gave me was my physics study guide in high school? The Hyperphysics website

    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

    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 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'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.

    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.
