I want to see if I can get a spark of the "old internet" back by making a starting page for myself with all kinds of cool websites. But not sure where to start because Google obviously will not work for this.

So... what are some of your favourite websites?

I like single purpose concept websites that don't do anything. They're the opposite of the modern internet that values engagement above all. They communicate exactly one thing once and though you never have to go back, you're always glad that they're there.

Feel like you are really under selling all that zombo can do

[-] RandomStickman@kbin.run 8 points 6 months ago

Anything is possible... At Zombo com

[-] theluddite@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

So true! I hereby retract that antizombo slander

It’s not what zombocom can do, it’s what you can do at zombocom.

Zombo is great. In the 10 minutes I spent there I hung the laundry, bought weekly groceries, painted my living room, got married twice, got elected minister of foreign affairs of Belgium, made first contact with 4 different alien spaces and then evolved into a whole new life form that exists in 4d space. Good site.

Big ytmnd vibes

[-] Drummyralf@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I agree, I love when a site is focused.

Like I said in another comment, got some big YourTheManNowDog vibes from these. Used to browse their random site visitor a lot back in the day.

Also, love how yyyyyyy seems to be a randomized site.

I'm amazed zombo still exists

When Flash died the site was down for several days. It was nerve wracking not knowing if it would return!
