zombo.com was launched in 1999. I remember in high school you’d see the new fancy web kiosk’s the school put up just displaying it as a joke. and being locked out of the address bar so you couldn’t change it. The fact that this url has been renewed, maintained, and updated with all the advancements web browsers have made in the last 24 years, just to have this useless site still exist amuses me to no end.

    I mean there still is stuff like that all over the place, probably more than ever, it’s just harder to find because the SEO drowns it out.

      Back then you didn’t find those sites through search engines. You found them through word of mouth.
      Today, the people around you just don’t share sites like this anymore.
