I found a link on HN a while ago that shows you just that, it's a randomizer (like the old StumbleUpon) that sends you to random "old internet" webpages: https://wiby.me/surprise/

It sent me to a 1998 page about phrenology, the 'science' of determining someone's mental traits based on indentations in their skull: https://www.phrenology.org/index.html

Wiby is a great resource. My roll took me back to 'nam: https://jackrvn70.neocities.org/

I happen to run a directory of 'escapist/artistic' websites, if a second instance of self-promotion is permissible: https://wmw.thran.uk
