I'm surprised how many of those I've never seen before, even after spending more than a decade on HN and arguably way too much every day. Such a good surprise :)
I wish the page used the CSS :visited selector and provided a link on the index page, so we could easily see which one we've visited before or not.

That only lasts as long as your browser history. For example, Chrome only holds your history locally for 90 days.

What, that would be silly no? I daily drive Firefox, just Chrome for testing stuff, and Firefox remembers websites I visited years ago, I think I'd almost consider the browser useless if it forgets addresses after just 90 days.
18 year HN vet here. I've forgotten most of these, even though I was around for nearly every single one of them!
some of the older ones are pure gold
