I don't know if you're talking about the design or content. But on design... So Cult of the Dead Cow has literally been around for 40 years.

And this is what their "pages" looked like before the web, when ascii on TTY was all you had.

Ironically, however, the first actual web page of theirs IA has, in 1998, does _not_ look like this, they didn't actually think at that point it would be edgy and cool to make the brand new web look like an ASCII tty.

It actually wasn't until 2019 they decided it would be maybe edgy and cool to make their webpage look like an ascii tty from 1990.

I remember reading the text files section of cDc's page back in the 90's. There was some sick and twisted stuff in that collection. Thanks for the flashbacks?


Not the page design, the method itself. "Bovine mother?" Come on.


The CDC was formed at an actual cow slaughterhouse. Know your history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_the_Dead_Cow


Yes, I got it, thanks.
