I love that CERN has such a strong bond with their animals. They are even monitoring the quantum entanglements of their sheep: https://home.cern/news/news/cern/cern-scientists-find-eviden...

And yet, not everything is so pretty at CERN.

Just consider their Large Hamster Collider! It’s a travesty, and last I head, they were colliding billions of hamster per second. You also got to ask what they do with the resulting elephants and whatnot coming out of those relativistic collisions.

The CERN Animal Shelter for Computer Mice is a non-profit organization maintained by CERN staff during their leisure time...

Reminds me of the fact that what to past or future civilisations perhaps looks dystopian or primitive, might just be jokes and a good time

“The scientists at the facility are believed to have worshipped or made sacrifices of their computer mice, due to their primitive minds’ beliefs that it would affect the outcome of their experiments.”

The site is so simple yet has so much soul - a part of internet lost.

not lost is it? this site is still up

I think things like these have just become harder to find. There are some search engines which try to bring the "old" internet back to life like Marginalia Search.
