The interwebz, and The United States were AMAZING Pre-2002.

I'd vote to roll it all back to that time.

Were they?

Yes. Up until 2008 it was pure and excellent. The smartphone revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the Internet.

Think a lot of it like today depends on where you were. Chicago was still dangerous back in 90s. Jeets and Muslim trash were already taking over the UK.

You’re also a Chicago fag, 47?

There wasn’t much to browse pre 2002. I would log on and scroll back to the previous day’s posts because there was a dearth of new content. 02-08 was the golden era. There wasn’t much to see in the early years. I have been online since 92. It was fun as a new frontier but there wasn’t much to do aside from BBS and IRC. It took 15 years for there to be enough traffic to justify daily content. Old internet was quality but very slow paced.

I wanna see the actual questionnaire. Many of these surveys are usually heavily weighted in how they frame the questions.

I remember Juno. Shit sucked. Mosaic was the shit before Netscape Navigator took over.

Could you imagine kids today getting busy tones trying to get on the internet on a Saturday night?

Internet was good pre 2001

It was pretty good until the smartphone was created. Early years of 4chan were golden.

Yeah the internet is so fucking ass now and it will never get better

[ - ] Spaceman84 [op] 0 points 1 hourMay 25, 2025 21:57:27 ago (+0/-0)

It will get better when we have national firewalls like China. 60% of poojeets don’t even have internet access yet.

and what's wrong with the internet? you can use it however you want. the problem is female liberation and the level the propaganda infecting them has reached. every 'problem' people have with the internet is connected to that root source of the problem. it has nothing to do with the internet except that it has enabled that problem to grow larger. before the internet became commonly used, it was still a huge problem getting rapidly worse every year.

Oh Boo Hoo! I'm addicted to booze...I wish it had never been invented. Oh Boo Hoo! I'm addicted to doing graffiti...I wish spraypaint had never been invented. Oh Boo Hoo! I'm addicted to soft drinks....I wish it had never been invented. Oh Boo Hoo! I'm addicted to ganbling...I wish it had never been invented. The list is endless.

Instead of depriving everyone of their vice, hows about wishing they have enough IQ and willpower to learn some damn self-control and self-discipline? Or better yet, stop wishing, and actually do something about it?
