i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.

I dont hate mate, especially not what you wrote. It was 90% joke, but what I meant is that I miss early days of internet where there was no facebook, tiktok and other crap (no hard feelings), I was paying internet access per minute, I could barely download a song or play a low res game, but it was super fun to spend time online, there was no people that report what they ate or when they took a shit, it just felt more healthy and chill imo. Today everyone is online all the time and so many people spend their time to share negativity and being toxic instead of having fun or doing something usefull.

But you came of as a gate keeping elitist who only wants tech snobs on the internet. The thing is place like that do still exist as long as people want it let others enjoy tiktok or insta like i don't use them but do i care if others are having fun on them ? No . In this bleak short life let everyone have as much joy as you or me let's not wish to take that away yeah ?
