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

        Came here to say StumbleUpon too. I had “cats” as one of my tags and my parents thought I must really want one because they always walked by when I happened to be on a cat page. So that’s how I ended up with a cat for my birthday. Don’t get pets as gifts, people.

      Square root of an onion… the answer was shallots wasn’t it?
