me 20 years ago: how awesome would it be if all kinds of people were posting on the Internet, not just nerds like me
me in 2026: it's...not actually awesome
Id sell a kidney to be able to experience the internet 20-25 years ago, I caught the dying glimmers of that era when I first started using it with small forums everywhere etc.
I do not understand why the absolute fuck people do this. The fact that modern cars can easily go above 100mph IMO has caused this to balloon, the cars young lads would've had 20-25 years ago would've been complaining a bit at 70.
