Bembo’s Zoo (defunct): https://bemboszoo.com/
It was an interactive website with animal animations for each letter of the alphabet. The animals were made from the letters.

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I might be an odd one out here. By the time I was forming memories the internet age was well underway.
The first thing that I can remember was some old flash game about guiding a worm through a maze.
That game was unforgiving, tiny me had to be on point with their trackpad movements.
The first Internet thing I remember actually doing is my friend helping me sign up for my first email account, on Hotmail… In high school computer lab, so it must have been 96 or 97.
I do remember reading about the Internet and trying to find a way to connect from home on our Packard Bell… But we were remote… It would have been some extreme long distance bills…
Microsoft Comic Chat (imo the concept still looks cool today)
Dial up modem sound. Followed by the AOL portal site.
I didn’t know what a URL was, so I was stuck with going through the kids section of the site, which I believe was a webcrawler that grabbed sites that had games on them. That was pretty much the internet for me.
What you need my friend, is a web portal!
Does the screaming and screeching of dial-up modems count?
Hmm. I guess the PointerPointer website? You might have guessed, I’m not very old.
Depends on what you mean by online. If anything internet related counts, it was e-mails I got from teachers at university. That was totally new at the time and only people in computer science and related courses had access.
My first multimedia experience was with Usenet. The internet access was from a terminal account on a UNIX host. I had to telnet into that from a Windows machine (3.1 had just come out). There was this post in several parts named “cute girl getting it up the ass”. I had to download all the posts as text files, stitch them together in an editor and uudecode the whole thing. Then i had to ftp it to the Windows machine and install a JPEG viewer on that (similar procedure). Then i could finally open the Jpeg, which took about a minute on that machine. The girl wasn’t actually that cute.
I never figured out those binary files. Such a gyp every time. I can’t masturbate to that!
uudecode for the win! But yeah, took me quite a while to figure that out too. Especially tricky when you have to do it all with one hand!

The dancing baby
My high school mass media teacher thought it was the greatest thing ever. Looking back, that experience should’ve told me exactly what the internet would become.
I hated it instantly, and I KNEW what Internet would become.
I was not disappointed. I mean, I was, desperately, but you know what I’m sayin.

That sounds like all those companies came together and wrote a feel good christmas ad for how their products bring people together.
Definitely some sort of Christmas Santa whatever 3D animation on yt that made me feel uncomfortable. That was back when my parents thought I was too young to explore the internet on my own. Couldn’t tell you what video it was because that’s too much work for my brain sinc that was around 2008 if I remember correctly.
I think it was when my friend showed me how to ping google.com in the Ubuntu Terminal. My first ever OS was Ubuntu but I didn’t used the magical Internet very Mich back then.
