    I have so many off these from funnyjunk, NewGrounds, eBaumsworld, and a half dozen other websites i have forgotten the name of from 20 years ago.

    Back when the internet felt like an endless sea of small random websites to discover. I know it was unpolished as hell, but I miss that compared to everything being on the same handful of corporate-samey sites.

      That internet still exists. But you used to hear about those sites from friends, and now you don’t anymore.

        Good point. I do miss when someone would find a funny new random website, and it would sustain us for weeks.

        “Hey, Bill hasn’t seen Putin riding a ritz cracker! Stop everything and come over to my computer - it’s my homepage.”

      I miss when websites were full of original content and not the endless slog of reposted memes making the same joke on the same template about slightly different topics.
