Am i the only person who is driven insane by the insinuation that WiFi is synonomous with ‘having the internet’?
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
Start prepping for some strategic tech investments.
Butterfly effect, your investments changes the fate of the companies you invest in.
GOOD, i didn’t want those companies to succeed anyway
holy shit i’m going to make sure Apple stays dead forever :D
You may not be aware, by stopping Apple you are enabling Skynet
Win/win
Honestly, that’s the way I read the parent comment. Become a roadblock for the trash we have today.
In terms of the global economy I doubt any of us could raise enough capital to impact corporate strategy
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
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 was probably playing Cannon Fodder at that time on our computer.
d: cd games cd cannon (space)(space)(F3)I still like going to the library and reading real books
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.
Two chicks at the same time
“That’s what you’d do if you had a million dollars?”
“Hell yeah man, always wanted to do that.”That feels easier now than then
Your comment reminded me that many times this was my go to activity. GF was BI and enjoyed me interacting with her and her various girlfriends.
Playing DOOM with the friend
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.
None of you said, “prevent 9/11.” For shame.
As a non american, this would have never crossed my mind
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.
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.
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.
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.
OOOH Look at Mister FANCY PANTS with his dial up internet. You must be rich, Mister Fancy Pants.
I think I had AOL at the time…
AOL was dial-up.
Of course it was. I had it.
Apologies, I misread the tone of your comment. I thought you were jokingly saying dial up was fancy while you had to deal with AOL. I didn’t read it as two different statements as I should have.
Sorry I work in tech and may take things for granted.
Making actual phone calls‽ The horror!
Nice use of the interrobang!
Everyone had mobiles in 1995, they were like $300 The Australian mobile network started in 1982
The Australian mobile network was CB radio until 2015.
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.
You got a dog? Still smoke?
and I can still play the guitar like a mother fuckin riot.
Life is too short so love the one you got cause you might die of overdose on your wedding night after signing that big contract like a big fucking dumbass
You do mean your fee-f-f-f-feet?
