Comment on Also the day that the world found out that Hitler had a micropenis.
Dasus@lemmy.world 7 hours agoI mean, same here, in a way. Rural Finnish town in the 90’s.
When my big brother first showed me the internet (once in the library as he had reserved an hour for himself) I actually thought it would be like a game or something, and was rather disappointed to see boring HTML sites. Why? Because everyone kept talking about “surfing the net”. “Browsing the world wide web” has much more boring connotations, I felt like. (Although back then I didn’t speak English so would not have known the phrase, but the equivalent term to “browsing.”)
Until my brother showed me how to find guides and cheats for games! GameFAQs.
