A 1999 website convinced me to use VHS tapes as bookends
I was cleaning my attic and stumbled upon an old Geocities page about attic organization. Following its advice, I now have a row of VHS tapes holding up my books, and it's a hilarious reminder of how the internet used to be.

Totally get this, and @jennifercooper has a point about it being a website host, but those old sites were full of wild life hacks. Fell down a similar rabbit hole on Tripod once, following a "use what you have" guide that had me using old CD spindles as planters (it did not go well for the plants). The early web was just a beautiful mess of people putting every random thought online, no fact-checking needed. There's a weird charm now in finding physical proof of those bad ideas, like your VHS bookends. Honestly kind of love that you still have them holding up the books.
