I don’t miss having to insert a new CD for a few hours of free dialup. Waiting 5 minutes for a picture of tits to load. Fighting with my sister because she picked up the phone when I was in the middle of a fap session in the family computer room with the door wedged shut
But I do miss the content, structure and vastness of the old internet.
Now it has been turned into a strip mall dominated by Facebook, Google, etc. and enshittenification.

Back in the (late) 90s, for $10 or so, Elwood would record a customized “you’ve got mail!” message for you. I had him create one for my (now) wife, using her real first name, as well as her nickname. “Elizabeth, you’ve got mail!”

So we loose this guy but not putin or ‘you’re fired’ guy. If there hasn’t been any sign indicating the absence of a god, I don’t know what else you would need.
Meanwhile I’ll keep searching for"did trump choke on a pretzel today?" On my favorite search engine that doesn’t start with G.

Man I’ve had enough bad news for one week :(
Be strong for Elwood.
Oh shit
I set “You’ve got mail” as my default notification sound as a joke less than a week ago. (E: not quite, more like 10 days ago)
RIP, your voice was heard by millions.
damn, a lot of people heard your ringtone in such a short amount of time
I really miss the early internet.

That’s so awesome!
What a boss.
That’s not who I wanted to see dead at 74.
He looks exactly like he sounds.
You never really think there’s people behind these things.
