Holy shit that's old, fun was a different flavor entirely back then. I'm guessing here but I did do computer work on old peoples machines and was shown some old shit back in the day

It was charming but strange for me, the humor just didn't land, it was usually plain or simple but it was usually deliberately charming in some way. Like that was the people on the internet, people that were enthralled by the charm of it all. Computers, talk to each other by message and now digital pictures and brand new at the time, moving pictures and colors and even fucking sound! (Wow) And people were into that shit like gangbusters

Wonder if the gems were worth the rest of the stuff that used to circulate on email (like chain emails and viruses and so much SPAM, charming spam by todays standards tbf but shit people are different digital beasts altogether nowadays 😂😎👍

Hope some of that got archived tho for the vibe recollection honestly (and posterity cause like I said, charming as fuck would be so cool to train AI with that tbh)
