Am i the only person who is driven insane by the insinuation that WiFi is synonomous with 'having the internet'?

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

Then start plotting buy/sell points for bitcoin and GME (don't want to risk forgetting those over the next 15-25 years)

None of you said, "prevent 9/11." For shame.

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

As a non american, this would have never crossed my mind

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

I mean, I feel like that one has some cascading effects that really fucked things up for pretty much everyone on the planet, so if you ever find yourself hurled back in time, you might consider it.

[–] JustARegularNerd@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

We know where they went to flight school. Intercept and eliminate those hijackers. You will go to jail for murder, but you will change the course of history.

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.

I woke up

Said I woke up

Then I went right back to bed

AOl, or the BBS's that I was a member of.

Probably play some Crash Bandicoot, or go to my nine o clock lecture.

Have a long and frustrating wank to Cosmopolitan because I'm a teenager and haven't figured out I can just walk into a newsagent and buy a copy of Penthouse.

Start prepping for some strategic tech investments.

Butterfly effect, your investments changes the fate of the companies you invest in.

Take my routine morning shit. But instead of my phone I’m reading the label on the back of any bottle I can reach from the throne.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 52 points 1 week ago

Do I wake up at 6 years old? Or as I am now, but in '95?

Doesn't matter, I'm watching fuckin POWER RANGERS.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago

What was I doing in 1995?

I would wake up, pour some Frosted Flakes and play Donkey Kong Country.

What would I do now?

Go outside and take a slow walk through my old neighborhood and probably cry.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 week ago (4 children)

1995...

I was 10 years old and in the 5th grade.

And I remember everything, huh? Hoo boy. Hoooo boyyyyy.

First thing I do is write this list while it's still fresh in my mind:

  1. ADHD is real and it will ruin my potential if I don't face it head on. The medication won't work on me yet, though, so tell Mom and Dad I NEED to get back on medication when my brain is more developed in a couple years.
  2. Also, for future reference: it isn't actually a deficit of ATTENTION at all--it's really stupidly named by neurotypicals who don't fucking get it--it's TIME BLINDNESS and a deficit of IMPULSE CONTROL and EXECUTIVE FUNCTION.
  3. Sugar is going to make me extremely sick and all my weight and fitness issues come directly from carbohydrate overdose. STOP drinking soda, and avoid refined/homogenized starch!
  4. I'm about to enter the most painful and traumatizing stage of my formative years. The middle school I'll be attending starting 6th grade will be hell on earth. I need to keep my FUCKING mouth shut and not talk to ANYONE unless they talk to me. I also need to practice the skill of mindful dissociation and compartmentalization. Stoicism will be my only shelter.
  5. Yes the adults around me are morons and don't know what they're talking about, but broken clocks can be right twice a day. In this case, they're correct about homework and studying being important for the wrong reasons: It is NOT about satisfying the expectations of teachers, but rather it is entirely for practicing the skill of internalizing and recalling information. I will not regret time I spend on it.
  6. Mom and Dad are struggling financially right now. Dad's racking up debt while Mom is the only reliable source of income. That's why they would "hold onto" my birthday and xmas money "for safekeeping". it is neither kept nor safe; it's gone. All of it. HIDE ANY MONEY I RECEIVE... and tell grandpa to buy stock in Apple.
  7. Express early interest in nuclear energy and pursue it with everything I've got. Approach via Mechanical Engineering. I'll enjoy Computer Aided Drafting in High School.
  8. Remember the major incidents to come: Columbine and zero tolerance policy in 1999, also dotcom bubble crash, Al Gore will lose in 2000, WTC will be destroyed by a terrorist attack 2001-09-11, Bush Jr administration will cause the housing market to crash as well by 2008, America succumbs to Fascism in 2016, and there will be a global plague in 2020.
  9. I'm a furry and I am not actually a boy despite being assigned male at birth. Embrace androgyny. Get online. Find my tribe. Draw a lot.

Cell phones existed in 1995. They were expensive and just used for making phone calls, tho.

Had the internet too. I'd be playing Doom or checking out Usenet forums.

Boot up my dad's computer and play some shareware off the magazine cover disk I got months ago.

Or go to the library I guess.

I really miss summers without wildfire smoke.

[–] Lorindol@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 week ago

I'd hug my mom. Then I'd go ask the pretty next door girl for a date; I lesrned later in life that she also had a crush on me at the time, but since I was plain looking and slightly overweight nerd I never thought I'd hsve any chance with her.

After getting that out of my system I'd do the obligatory investing.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I'd walk out to the street then light me up that cigarette and strap shoes on my feet.

I'd probably try to find a reason where everything went wrong. I'd really like to find a reason why my money is all gone.
