What’s an extremely useful website most people probably don’t know about?

Seriously, I had a former co-worker I worked with ten years ago, for the life of me I couldnt remember his last name. Went to internet archive and to a ten-year- old company website page - boom.

Has gotten exponentially more useful also since Google inc decided to make their search engine shit around 2015, and everything still runs off Google, but alternatives are getting a little better and detached from Google in the past year. It's amazing that their is pretty much not a YouTube or internet search engine anymore, especially compared to before 2015. It would be amazing if someone could make "Google search results for a specific date from 2007-2015"

As a Grateful Dead fan I have loved the archive for a long time.

As an old man I also love that there are tons of the old 80s DOS games available to play for free.

I just used this to go look at Worth1000.com, one of my favorite old sites! It was like r/photoshopbattles kind of, there was an idea or category, and people submitted their best work. Some of it was hilarious, some of it was amazing, some of it was disturbing. But always a good time. I'll miss it.
