Just remembered a true Web 1.0 time capsule Stinkymeat.net. Mahlon Smith’s legendary “research” into what happens when you leave meat outside and document the decay.
I can’t believe the site is still up in 2025. Gross, hilarious and pure early-internet charm.
Makes me wonder… could someone repeat the “experiment” today with the same cuts of meat, same daily photos and compare the data? For science, of course.
Be the change you want to see etc. etc. stinkymeat.ly is currently available and has a distinct 2020s ring to it.
Project Stinkymeat 2.0, now with high-res photos and a livestream. I’m just here to inspire a new generation.
