Remember when the internet felt like a giant treasure hunt instead of just… cycling through the same five apps? Yeah, me too. That’s why I started COI (Corners of Internet)—a place where I dig up weird, fun, and happy corners of the web so you don’t have to.

No algorithms. No doomscrolling. Just pure internet exploration.

If it’s cool, underrated, or a little unhinged, it goes on COI.

Check it out: www.cornersofinternet.com

Also, if you’ve got a favorite weird site, drop it below! I’m always looking for new rabbit holes to fall into.

It's broken without JS. Not so old-school after all.

This seems neat.

It's not just the Internet, though. There are no more gatekeepers or water coolers and everything is fed on demand. Have you noticed that TV and movie events have slowed down to a trickle? Ever found a cool show on a streaming service and found that nobody is talking about it unless you go search for some community of five people who are super into it? Nobody is playing any games and talking about them unless they're finding them through some influencer or they're just the same four big games that have dominated the market for the better part of a decade.

That's not going to revert back with something like this, I'm afraid. We've just lost the structures that got people to share in those collective moments and I'm not sure there's a way of bringing them back. On this side of the apocalypse, anyway, so maybe that'll fix itself.

I was curious to click on one of the sites (bread-on.earth), but the link appears to be dead. Is there a mechanism for reporting dead sites?

bread on earth : they are updating their site.. It is a good site, where you could find everything about bread. They also had recipes of antient bread. I think they'll be back soon.

Maybe I will move it to draft on out site.. Well the only way to report rn maybe an email. This is a one off occurrence, maybe I will think of something if more sites are going offline often.
