Ah, well, better skip “Strange Days”, “12 Monkeys” and “Gattaca” then…
Its just bizarre to think about how awful trying to accurately convey an order verbally over shitty audio quality must have been
Even better, being a delivery driver trying to find McRando’s house without GPS, map quest, etc. Just a street address and a city street map from the municipal Chamber of Commerce.
Especially fun when half of your deliveries were out of the city limits and you had to ask for/write down directions, and no cell phone to call if you took a wrong turn or they gave you bad directions.
I don’t miss those days.
You forgot the part where your boss yells at you for being out too long because the house you were supposed to go to had a mile long driveway and no numbers on the road.
Or like on jurassic park. Where the little girl saves the day by playing a video game on the security system
Oh that was just FSN, an actual filesystem browser for IRIX back in the day. You can install the port FSV if you want to browse your files as if they’re 3D objects on Linux today
TBF, have you played System Shock? That’s what hacking in the future actually looks like…
If nothing else, at least the new Iran war will make all us Millennials feel a bit young again. Time to relisten to American Idiot, at the very least.
Or maybe I’ll just feel even older, as I can’t believe we’re still doing this shit.
I recently re-watched The Net. There are some pretty silly things in there.
One of my favourites was Sandra on the beach, in mid day tropical sunshine, using one of those old 1994 laptop screens. Riiiiiiight.

A lot of people cheered when the Technoblade pig tribute came up.
Looking forward to the future where I just think about pizza and it materializes in my mouth.
And it is really healthy cos of SCIENCE
I read on a wall in a dominos “restaurant” that they were the first to have online orders in 1999.
I definitely remember ordering pizza online years earlier, probably 1995 or 1996 in Karlsruhe, Germany. Fun fact: the server used a fax modem to actually place the order. But the user interface was via browser.
I love that movie! Im so glad I got to experience at least some of this time frame. Feela bad for the people who didn’t
I remember that scene lol. I was like, no way! How?!
