Earlier quoted context omitted.

They don't seem unintuitive to me, maybe because I grew up with 1.0. these youngsters are creating buttons without outlines, links that are grey and not underlined, checkboxes that slide and sometimes have no other indication that they're on or off, and many other unholy idioms. Web 1.0 was glorious.

To clarify, by unintuitive I mean we don't think of doing things in a simple way today as we're used to more complicated interaction patterns and layouts. When we open a Web 1.0 it's intuitive to see and browse. In fact, often more intuitive than modern Web. It reminds us... that it's "OK" to keep it simple. And this is a reminder we need frequently in a world of excess.

Oh.. well I guess it's just me then :) I always try to use a simple native component before replacing it with something more complex if the old thing genuinely doesn't work for some use cases.

Wow, I was not expecting to be taken to such an interesting website on my first click: http://www.goodearthgraphics.com/ This site has an underground cave directory by state, cave virtual tours with photos, cave type descriptions, cave photography tips and much more. I may just use this website to plan my next road trip and explore some caves.

Highly recommend Lake Shasta Caverns if you're ever in the area. Also, Mitchell Caverns in Mojave NP.

One of my favourites so far. https://ashidakim.com/ The art of ninja as expounded upon by a master ninja. I mean, my brain says it's a joke, but it's so extensive and has books for sale. The site is filled with gems, like this piece of advice on tailoring your training: "If I were in the Ring ... I'd have to regulate my diet and do a lot of running for stamina. When I'm a bouncer, I practice drinking and smoking." So…

Ashida Kim is a rabbit hole. He was very serious about being a Ninja. He also wrote a terrible book about all of his supposed sexual exploits. Real narcissist.
