  • “Dammit, my tape is stuck inside the VCR again!”

    “99 cents for a song? Hell yeah. I’m never buying CDs again.” (A reference to the iTunes Music Store launch)

    “I ran out of free AOL time. Better get another demo disc”

    Speaking of AOL, “yo, what’s your AIM screenname?” (Replace “AIM” with your favorite messaging service at the time if you used that)

    “Mom, can I have a PlayStation 2? -No. -But it plays DVDs.”

    “Oh, I can’t wait to see the wonderful New York Twin Towers, I’m so excited for what’s coming!” (I was too young to even remember the concept of different countries existing so I had no idea what “America” even was, let alone being confused about 9/11)

    “I got slimed. It was so. Much. Fun.”

    “I’m so glad the United Kingdom won Eurovision, I can’t wait to see how the next year’s contest will turn out. Katrina was so amazing” (1997 was the last time the UK won)

    “What a wonderful Saturday morning. Time to watch some cartoons.”

    “My phone has a NiCd battery, and it’s almost out of juice so I can’t just plug it in because I will ruin the battery. I have to wait until it literally turns off.”

    “Belgrade is the capital of Yugoslavia”

    “Finally got my fresh new copy of Mac OS X. Time to see what’s it’s like.” proceeds to stay on OS 9 for a few more years

    That’s all I can think of.



  • They literally acquired the Alien Blue client, which at the time was the best Reddit client according to many people, and used it as the base for their official client. How on earth did they fuck it up this badly??

    I never used Apollo since I was stuck on Android. But I still wish I had the chance to use it while it was available.


  • I have a very similar experience, I only left because I noticed just how awful the website has turned by the time the API fiasco happened, and I was definitely getting a bit addicted to the website so leaving essentially made me combat this addiction. I haven’t logged into Lemmy for over a month. Yeah, it has definitely helped me cut down on social media usage.
