The golden age of getting lego island and roller coaster tycoon with my froot loops. Now all I get is diabetes

I once pulled down my pants to take a shit and a fucking AOL CD popped out of my ass crack.

I think you mean to say "coasters", not AOL CDs.

the people in the comments really do be just giving their bank passwords away

Track_Shovel OP ,

Joke’s on you. We have no money in there anyway

Shepy , to memes in I was around during the stone age of the internet

Hah, half of one of my passwords is the username from my dialup ISP from about 98. Right in the feels.

So… who else has an aol email for his Steam account name?

CADmonkey , to memes in I was around during the stone age of the internet

I remember AOL on 3.5 floppies. You could put tape over a specific hole and re-use the disk.

teft ,
@teft@startrek.website avatar

You could do that with any copy protected floppy. That was the little sliding tab in the corner. Tab open = read-only. Tab closed = read & write.

CADmonkey ,

I remember the AOL disks not having the sliding tab, either it had been pried out or it was just a disk that didn’t have it.

Bene7rddso ,

AOL didn’t want you to reuse them so they didn’t have the tab

teft ,
@teft@startrek.website avatar

Correct. Any disks that the company didn’t want erased, like marketing disks, didn’t have the slide tab. Hence the op mentioning they used tape instead.

Senuf ,

Same principle as with cassettes/music tapes.

The main thing I remember about AOL way back when is that you only got a certain amount of hours to use it per month and if you went over they started charging extra

dumdum666 ,

In addition to that you had to pay for the dialup itself too…

mindbleach ,

And if your local number was busy and you dialed another, it could cost a metric shitload of money, because long-distance was apparently transmitted on the finest golden threads honed by fifth-generation artisans.

One of the weirdest generational gaps we almost never talk about is how we got to ‘of course you can talk to anyone anytime’ immediately after decades of ‘hey you wanna meet up for a burger?’ costing more than the burger.

OMG I had that exact same toy when I was 10! I got it from the gift shop at the museum lol

Track_Shovel OP ,

Now it is on display in the same museum

MrJameGumb , (edited )
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

To get the full effect they’ll need to display it next to a pack of astronaut ice cream and some super cool geode rocks

"This is a sample of astronaut ice cream sold in our museum in 1987. Visit our gift shop to purchase your very own astronaut ice cream."

even though i knew astronaut ice cream was bullshit, i was sad when i didn't get any but the others on the school trip did.

If it helps, it was fucking disgusting.

flashgnash , to memes in More people died by the spear than the sword, and if you don't like my opinion, I'll shove it up your ass with sharp stick!

Spears are way harder to make a cool spectacle in fantasy though

Kinda reminds me of that scene in Indiana Jones where the guy is doing a load of flashy movements with his sword and he just gets shot in the face
