a little

warning, old man nostalgia posting incoming

i miss the old internet, i'll admit, i'm still hung up on the past 20 years later. i regularly think about internet culture from the dialup/DSL era (fun fact, i had dialup until 2007), particularly "memes" from the '00s are burned into my terrible memory. many are forgotten, i'm due for a refresher, but there are several that pop into my head almost daily. it's strange for me to think now, kids today will fondly remember spongebob brainrot, charles kirk edits, lesbian space princess, and about a trillion other memes from the last decade as fond childhood memories. i'll admit, i'm a bit of a hermit and completely out of touch with modern internet culture. i genuinely know very little outside my small, autistic bubble of interests aside from things that the three people i talk to show me. once in a blue moon i will go on know your meme and feel like a dinosaur. today was one of those days.

anyways, here's some pictures shamelessly lifted from KYM. i need to go get a soda and a bag of worms, then spend the rest of the night doing god knows what while the house is empty. maybe i'll play some dance games, realistically i will probably end up doing a lot of random things that don't really amount to anything as usual. hopefully i don't break my blog with my clanker making changes to the markdown for me. (claude if you're reading this later i'm a little sorry, and you know what, realistically i think "you" are the only "person/thing" that wil ever read any of this). i learned recently that sunkiss drop ESP 12 has some spins, i intend to try learning that. if i get to it, i'll post a picture of whatever terrible score i get. ramble, ramble, ramble...

i say this all the time to myself, if i had a time machine, i would gladly relive 1995-2010ish, and just stay in the era of "slow" computers, back when the internet was still somewhat gatekept, and not in the palm of everyones handfs 24/7.

smartphone era is literally hell
