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
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.
Fire up my PC and hit the dial up to check my email and BBS’s.
Also go outside to grab my paper to read the comics first.
Will you use Turbo mode?
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.
I really miss summers without wildfire smoke.
Party like it’s 1999!
Invest in Apple.
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.
Buy AAPL
1995? Springer and the price is right in the morning (Bob Barker baby!) then Aladdin, Batman/Superman, Animaniacs and the Simpsons in the afternoon.
In-between all that we get 90s commercials!
holy cow, I lived the afternoon half of that
Please tell me it’s Friday, because that means the evening is Family Matters or Sliders, Boy Meets World, Step by Step, and Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper.
I buy relevant stocks to make me rich and revel in the fact that there is no internet again. I am 68 and have been there and done that already.
jerk it
Agreed. That’s always a fall back to fill some time
Log on to BBS, play LORD and post to forums with local users, maybe chat a bit. Fire up sirdoom, waste a few bozos with a BFG. Drive to my buddies house maybe smoke some weed…
Have tons of crazy sex, do piles of drugs, camp, see live music, dance, sex, drugs, repeat.
Same as now really
Find a job doing almost anything and being able to afford all of this is the best time traveling gift.
Also get a little house on that salary, oh if only.
As if. I went into crazy debt. I’m still paying for it. But yeah. Boo hoo
Pack the bowl and fire it up.
