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.

Sausage: $1.50

Now, I don't actually know meat prices anymore, but I think this dates it more than the style of web page.

It had me rolling a bit. This is the kind of wonderful madness I think of when I think of the wild west days of the internet. Although I'm sure there was a lot of crap too.
