And now... Lots of websites with menus on the left!

Still, happy for you that your dad could humble himself to you. That's really hard for some people, even when they'd like to, it's like your brain just won't compute how to say it without coming out wrong so you never say it.

Can you send an example? I've only seen these foldout side bar menus.

YouTube, google drive, Any readthedocs site with more than 1 page

Well, the youtube menu is most likely positioned there because they dont want people to use it.

Every site in the early 2000s had a left nav menu

I'm looking at a page right now that has some buttons for "Subscribe, Create a post, Block community" on the side. But I guess it's on the right side and maybe since they're buttons it doesn't count as a menu.

To be fair, those are less a nav bar and more contextual content. You likely also have the main nav bar along the top.
