Old-School University Website Wisdom

Text on the meme

the best websites are like, <name-of-specific-computer>.{physics| math|ee|cs}.<some-university>.edu/ ~<initials-of-guy>/stuff/bithacks.htm utterly wrong unless ur a grifter. every good website is like domain.university.edu everything else is slop for idiots websites with urls like /~sholmes/ not-teaching-related/ html-page-with-no-css.htm contain great wisdom

What it means

A screenshot of a social-media post joking about the superiority of old-fashioned university websites with cryptic personal directories and bare HTML pages. The punchline is that supposedly ugly, outdated URLs contain more valuable knowledge than polished modern websites, unless the site belongs to a grifter. It is shared as a reaction to nostalgic or obscure internet culture and “old web” aesthetics.
