    Am i the only person who is driven insane by the insinuation that WiFi is synonomous with ‘having the internet’?

    • OldChicoAle@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      No. It’s the Chromebook/iPad generation. I feel like they don’t truly understand the Internet or computers. Having used Windows 98 and onward, my friends and I had to really learn to troubleshoot and learn the innards of the system. Nowadays, everyone is in a protective shell like Chrome OS, iOS or Android. It’s all dumbed down now. Simplicity isn’t always good imo

    Lay in bed for a moment and listen to the tunes on my sweet Panasonic clock radio alarm before slapping the snooze button. Then suddenly wake up to realize I have a clock radio alarm again.

      Then start plotting buy/sell points for bitcoin and GME (don’t want to risk forgetting those over the next 15-25 years)

    None of you said, “prevent 9/11.” For shame.

      As a non american, this would have never crossed my mind

        I mean, I feel like that one has some cascading effects that really fucked things up for pretty much everyone on the planet, so if you ever find yourself hurled back in time, you might consider it.

      Well now I’ll be thinking all day on the thought experiment of how one could actually prevent it, assuming they’re only a US citizen.

      I guess you could send in an anonymous bomb threat on the morning for both towers, but that still wouldn’t prevent the tragedy of all those onboard.

        We know where they went to flight school. Intercept and eliminate those hijackers. You will go to jail for murder, but you will change the course of history.

    Have a long and frustrating wank to Cosmopolitan because I’m a teenager and haven’t figured out I can just walk into a newsagent and buy a copy of Penthouse.

    Assuming I’m the same age I am today, probably the same thing 😅

    Wake up, morning constitutional, coffee, bong-rip, check the server.

      Do you run a BBS?

      source
      • ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I run a couple of services. A blog for my partner, a media server (farfetched but certainly possible in 1995), as well as a matrix server.

        I’m certain I’d be doing similar things in 1995. Based on my personality there’s no way I wouldn’t have gotten into that type of computing.

    depends on what day of the week it is. if it’s a weekday then I turn on the TV and watch like Power Rangers or whatever was on during Fox Kids Mornings. Or if i’m in my bedroom where I didn’t have cable then bleh had to watch Global (Canada) and it was carebears or inspector gadget or something in the mornings. OR just put on the Genesis/SNES.

    If it’s Saturday then I’m up early to go to the basement to watch cartoons all morning.

    it was way better back then.

    Go into a lab and start researching time travel. Proving to scientist that I’m from the future shouldn’t be that hard.

    That’s 29 years ago. Eeryone I know is as good as dead. I need to find a way to go back

  • Bytemeister@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Play with hot wheels and Transformers. Maybe take the afternoon and fold an entire ream of paper into airplanes, one design only, looking for small improvements on every crease, corner and pleat to create the perfect expression of that design.

  • captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    That really depends on if I’m my now age or my then age. Though either way, I’m looking for my mom

    Figure out how to set up a stock trading account with ameritrade, or whatever the ad for the talking baby who bought stocks was for, and invest in today’s big companies. I’d invest like 10 bucks at a time, but keep doing it.

    Go online, just like I did back then. I’ve been online before the web. And it was more fun. And no ads.

    • MehBlah@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I didn’t go online when I first woke up. I often though would check see how my downloads did overnight. In 95 I was still using the local collage dial in.

        At least, we had a leased line of 38400 bits per second for the whole department. ;-)
