Also, does anyone remember those animations from the late 90s/early 2000s where you would go to a internet page and you could play little cute shockwave (?) animations. Some of them were naughty and some were cute. They were similar to Bonzi Buddy where they would pop up on your screen but disappear after the animation was complete. I SWEAR I remember some rabbit animations called Pumpy's World or something. There were 4 different color rabbits or something and they would do cute funny things. Please help me remember!
The year 2000, my primary school was the first in Australia to get a “computer lab”. We all thought it was going to be an actual laboratory from Dexter’s lab or some shit. Luckily for me my grandfather was rich af and bought a laptop with internet in 1998, my father also owned a computer store, so I already knew how to go to websites and use floppy discs and change wallpapers and play games at the age of 7.
The very first thing the teacher at school told everyone to do was go to askjeeves.com and it took the entire class about 20 minutes just to get to that website. I was changing peoples wallpapers to pics of fish.. no idea why I thought that was funny..
No one really took interest in computers at my school, I guess because they seemed too complicated.. by the 8th grade I was typing 100 words a minute and finishing tests waaaaaay too fast, I was always finishing tests in 10 minutes on the computer and all the other students took days to complete lmao.
Used to get called a geek for playing Simpson episodes and soccer games in class whilst everyone was still catching up, around 2001-2003
Now every little kid has he internet in their pockets equipped with camera and apps and shit haha so I’m no longer special but it was fun while it lasted.
I think I’m my opinion, one of the most interesting things to witness was watching all the normies become computer literate all because they were driven by showing them selves off on MySpace and shit. And also watching massive companies form that tried to censor and mould the internet in the way they wanted it to be to benefit them.
To this day I still laugh when you see something on the news about cyber bullying on social media, normies can’t handle that it originally wasn’t designed to protect their feelings and interests.
Sometimes I wish I could go back and browse some funnyjunk and play the Star Wars rap or the mad cow disease, or download a song of Kazaa and hear bill Clinton lol
I honestley feel nostalgic for EMD f units. They shaped rail in the us as we know it. And they had a longer running life on many commuter and class 2 and 3 railroads. I also feel nostalgic for the Montreal Maine and Atlantic railway.
Miss those old Cartoon Network games. Remember the Unicef trick or treating ones? Man.
>Sometimes I wish I could go back and browse some funnyjunk and play the Star Wars rap or the mad cow disease, or download a song of Kazaa and hear bill Clinton lol This mang. Good times.
Remember the old Courage The Cowardly Dog game where Muriel and Eustace got trapped inside the tv and you had to go through a bunch of channels to save them and eventually the final level was like on a cooking show
Anthony Nelson
Honestley, yeah. All of these normies act like the internet should only be kid friendly and also think that it should be there shield from reality.
Remember when google was just a search engine?
Remember when amazon was a bookstore?
Remember when Microsoft has bad software, they can it and replace it?
Good times
Juan Nelson
Hell yeah lmao. I sometimes would deliberately not do home work so the teacher would make me stay in class during lunch time and I’d just jump on to play hahaha
There's Peedy the Parrot, and you can still get him on older versions of windows from a website that actually has a bunch of Bonzi Buddy like animated things, one's a stingray, one's a reaper, and there's some other one's, the website should still be up I checked it in 2017 but couldn't work anything on my newer windows (I was using a emulator). Also Bonzi's reputation got memed by some twitch streamer
Maybe you guys can help me. Does anyone remember those smiley face magnets everyone used to have? They were strong magnets in bright colors with a nose you could use to pull it off. In all my searching for different variations of the term "smiley face magnet" I still cannot find them.
ANYONE remember METHODUS Toolz? It was a hacker program for AOL/AIM, it was such an awesome program to use back in the day. Fun to fuck with a lot of people
I had AIM but idk what this is? What could you do with it
Sebastian Powell
i LOVED that game. creep tv is the name i think
Christian Foster
A series of programs for AOL made by two hackers named ChiefDreegFleer and Jump0ffabuilding and distributed via their (now defunct) site Methodus2000.com. The program was made primarily to fuck with people in chatrooms, through e-mail, and over AIM.
Methodus Toolz contained e-mail bombing capabilities, auto chat scripts, text color faders, and even a phishing e-mail generator among the plethora of other tools.
It was the ultimate tool for AOL script kiddies until AOL started banning users for deploying it in chatrooms.
Joshua Baker
Sadly no. They had two eyes that were raised dots and the smile was a groove in the plastic.
Adam Myers
Damn. Sounds amazing. I was way too young to be using AIM and be in chatrooms kek.
