No. It's the Chromebook/iPad generation. I feel like they don't truly understand the Internet or computers. Having used Windows 98 and onward, my friends and I had to really learn to troubleshoot and learn the innards of the system. Nowadays, everyone is in a protective shell like Chrome OS, iOS or Android. It's all dumbed down now. Simplicity isn't always good imo
Edit: Windows was a gateway drug into Linux
Buy AAPL
Then start plotting buy/sell points for bitcoin and GME (don't want to risk forgetting those over the next 15-25 years)
Ninjaedit: and real estate right after the 2008 crash
Super Nintendo
Sega Genesis
When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this
50" inch screen, money green leather sofa
Go online, just like I did back then. I've been online before the web. And it was more fun. And no ads.
I didn't go online when I first woke up. I often though would check see how my downloads did overnight. In 95 I was still using the local collage dial in.
At least, we had a leased line of 38400 bits per second for the whole department. ;-)
For a time around 1998-2000 I ran the internet connection for a multi county agency on one 56k dial up and squid proxy server. It worked and it worked pretty well. We did however love it when the local cable company finally rolled out two way cable internet.
Invest in Apple.
Apple, Amazon... Plenty of others to choose from that were considered joke stocks for some reason
I'll start a few websites, like facebook.com, twitter.com, reddit.com
Make them all federated sites right out of the gate
Assuming I'm the same age I am today, probably the same thing 😅
Wake up, morning constitutional, coffee, bong-rip, check the server.

None of you said, "prevent 9/11." For shame.
Well now I'll be thinking all day on the thought experiment of how one could actually prevent it, assuming they're only a US citizen.
I guess you could send in an anonymous bomb threat on the morning for both towers, but that still wouldn't prevent the tragedy of all those onboard.

Playing DOOM with the friend
Ask that blonde for a date...
Go into a lab and start researching time travel. Proving to scientist that I'm from the future shouldn't be that hard.
That's 29 years ago. Eeryone I know is as good as dead. I need to find a way to go back
Lay in bed for a moment and listen to the tunes on my sweet Panasonic clock radio alarm before slapping the snooze button. Then suddenly wake up to realize I have a clock radio alarm again.
1995? I'd play the just released International superstar soccer deluxe for the SNES
depends on what day of the week it is. if it's a weekday then I turn on the TV and watch like Power Rangers or whatever was on during Fox Kids Mornings. Or if i'm in my bedroom where I didn't have cable then bleh had to watch Global (Canada) and it was carebears or inspector gadget or something in the mornings. OR just put on the Genesis/SNES.
If it's Saturday then I'm up early to go to the basement to watch cartoons all morning.
it was way better back then.
I woke up
Then I went back to bed
Said I woke up
Then I went right back to bed
Make coffee?
Use the bathroom.
Back to usenet.
AOl, or the BBS's that I was a member of.
Probably play some Crash Bandicoot, or go to my nine o clock lecture.
Chill
Press the snooze button and go back to sleep.
Drink a glass of chocolate milk, fool around until school time, which began in the afternoon
“ffffuuuckk now I can’t get easy pron!!!!!!”
Watch the infomercials until something remotely interesting starts.
