Archive.org

Full of information, archives within archives. A lot of cool old government film clips and PSAs and science and educational films. Tons of books and audiobooks and really obscure/fringe writing from the whole spectrum of political thought as well as classics. Also going on the website wayback machine and looking for websites I made on Geocities when I was 12 is fun. Makes you feel like an archaeologist.

newspapers.com

you need an account but soo many treasures. old scanned newspapers - search for people, buildings, events of the past, etc. found out that my grandma apparently crashed into a parked cop car in NJ in the 50s lol. so many ridiculous vintage advertisements on each page too

makeout club/friendster

sometimes when i’m feeling nostalgic for social media 1.0 I visit Makeout Club and Friendster on the Internet Archives and pick random archived pages and profiles to look at. A good way to waste some time and time travel all at once.

Scrolling through your own posts

so true and so right… see also looking through your notes app, going through your camera roll, and re reading your own diary.
