TIL sorting bookmarks by date added shows how my interests shifted over 5 years

I was cleaning out my browser bookmarks last night and decided to sort them by date added instead of alphabetically. The oldest ones from 2019 were all about vegan recipes and beginner guitar tabs, stuff I was obsessed with back then. Then around 2021 I had a whole folder of job hunting sites and resume templates. The newest bookmarks are mostly gardening forums and a tutorial on how to fix a leaky faucet. It was kind of wild seeing my life phases laid out like that in just a list of links. Has anyone else noticed a pattern in their bookmarks that tells a story about them?

Whoa, 2019 vegan recipes? No way.

Not a chance. 2019 was peak for vegan comfort food. Those jackfruit tacos and cashew cheeses were fire. Miss that era honestly.
