I’ll start a few websites, like facebook.com, twitter.com, reddit.com
Make them all federated sites right out of the gate
Yes, this is what people did back then

Also, tell my younger self not to buy the lifetime subscription to the local BBS because this Internet thing is going to get faster and less buggy.

Use my current knowledge of memory-safe system languages to invent D before Walter Bright, but without the garbage collection.

Open tv’s teletext section 245 (now 235) to see NHL results.

I’d go to the mall to flirt with goth latina babes. Malls were actually popular back then right?

Boot up my dad’s computer and play some shareware off the magazine cover disk I got months ago.
Or go to the library I guess.

Try to find that cool looking Beavis and Butthead site I saw my brother browsing in the earliest days of our internet access. I had asked him where he found it and he couldn’t remember, so I searched and searched and searched to no avail. I never found that Beavis and Butthead site. I just remember there was a lot of yellow.
theWebCrawler@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Apparently there was an official Beavis and Butt-Head site hosted by MTV in the 90’s. I didn’t find any archives but there is a screenshot of it on the Web Design Museum. Not sure if it’s the same one because there isn’t a whole lot of yellow though.

Your comment reminded me that many times this was my go to activity. GF was BI and enjoyed me interacting with her and her various girlfriends.

Go to all the live gigs, then invest. Probably steal PayPal.
GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 9 months ago
Buy out Elons worthless PayPal shares with 50 million in valuable pets.com and webvan shares. They can only go up at this point!
Agent641@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Masturbate, back to sleep.
GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 9 months ago
I don’t need to travel back in time to do that.
ErrorCode@lemmy.world 9 months ago
This is the correct answer.
anas@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Do you wake up as you are now, or as you were back then? I didn’t exist in 1995.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I’m sure you were still a twinkle in your parents’ eyes. And I don’t envy what you’re about to see.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I’d walk out to the street then light me up that cigarette and strap shoes on my feet.
I’d probably try to find a reason where everything went wrong. I’d really like to find a reason why my money is all gone.

Not even buying Apple will net you any short term money.
Better to bet on the superbowl (or whatever sports knowledge you possess).
vane@lemmy.world 9 months ago
It’s not about money, it’s about altering reality.

They would just pick another dumb name, like Stample or Croakle and we’d be stuck Croaking things

Usually young people are not interested in learning about the past from the old…until of course the old die and their knowledge is gone for ever

First thing? Honestly, probably curl into the fetal position and start bawling for a while as I fully relax for the first time since circa 2007.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 9 months ago
P.S. it’s April 19th and you’re currently relaxing in the Alfred P. Murray Federal Building. Enjoy your well-earned R&R!
nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 9 months ago
Oof! Hey, at least on the bright side it would be an extended repose.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 months ago
Cell phones existed in 1995. They were expensive and just used for making phone calls, tho.
Had the internet tho. I’d be playing Doom or checking out Usenet forums.
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 9 months ago
Making actual phone calls‽ The horror!
ZebulonP@lemmy.world 9 months ago

Everyone had mobiles in 1995, they were like $300 The Australian mobile network started in 1982
GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 9 months ago
The Australian mobile network was CB radio until 2015.

OOOH Look at Mister FANCY PANTS with his dial up internet. You must be rich, Mister Fancy Pants.
I think I had AOL at the time…
mechoman444@lemmy.world 9 months ago
1995? Springer and the price is right in the morning (Bob Barker baby!) then Aladdin, Batman/Superman, Animaniacs and the Simpsons in the afternoon.
In-between all we get 90s commercials!
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Please tell me it’s Friday, because that means the evening is Family Matters or Sliders, Boy Meets World, Step by Step, and Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper.

The first question is what kind of time am I in? Is it a ‘We are all going to die and I need to fix it’ or a ‘I need to grow as a person to get out’. If it’s the first one then I need to figure out when Donald Trump and Jeffery Epstein are both going to be one of his flights to Epstein’s island and find a way to blow up the plane. If it’s the second one I guess do the same thing as that’s got to be good karma.
stoly@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I have thought about this over the years. If I am in a loop, it’s “which PhD am I doing this lifetime?” or “so I guess I am going to be the world’s best cabinetmaker this round.”
