  • I have a family member whose fridge looks like this.

    Because he is an unrepentant alcoholic who sucks down vodka like a fish does water, and thinks hes being clever by hiding it in orange juice.

    And hes so "clever" that he doesnt hide the recycle bin, which is always overflowing with empty vodka bottles.

  • The "patriots" want nothing but the destruction of everything they claim to love and worship with regards to America, the Constitution, etc, etc.

    All so they can put a emotionally unstable manbaby pants shitting pedophile and rapist on a golden throne as god-fuhrer.

  • Wild and magical, where we..upon getting our first connection to this wide world of wonder, would just explore. Clicking every link with wild abandon and discovering magic behind every one of them. No need for caution, Viruses were rare, Malware didnt exist, just spread wings gliding over vast lands of unbridled discovery.. Not even realizing 16 hours had passed and you had missed sleep, the adrenaline of adventure keeping you going, wide eyed and focused.

    God I'm depressed now.

  • god what I wouldnt give to go back to the days of the mid 90s, when the internet was nothing more than a collection of tech weirdos, with websites being nothing more than passion projects with no advertising, no SEO, no search engines, etc etc.

  • I don't deny there was some hysteria around the subject.

    but given how stupid the average human is.. its probably better to err on hysteria, than to err on common sense, when you need to build public awareness and support for something critical.

  • lots of cars too, probably. Its totally not unreasonable for a car to be on the road for 10/15/20 years.

  • Y2K was like the ozone.

    It became a big nothing issue because of the spreading awareness, hard work, and other activities that went into preventing it.

    So like I said in another post.

    The problem with crisis is always the people.

    If nothing happens, cause of the hard work to prevent it, people riot over it being a big waste of time cause nothing happened

    if something happens, then people riot because no one worked hard to prevent it.

  • back in our day, our stupid wasnt malicious mass destruction or food tampering.

    It was actual stupid shit, like trying to jump over your friend as he raced towards you on his bike, or falling off a roof, Shit that only hurt yourself, if anyone. Wasnt breaking and entering and destroying shit so people in the next town over would think you were cool. We were stupid, but we werent that stupid.

  • My question was "was there ever a good trend from tiktok"

    Icebucket challenge was from before tiktok existed.

    So kinda proving my point.

  • yeah, the cinnamon challenge was dumb.. but it didnt involve mass destruction, psychotic behavor, or contaminating food\ in stores.

    So its hardly comparable.

    Also it wasnt Tiktok. Predates it, significantly.

  • the people problem of any crisis.

    If you did nothing, and it becomes a big problem, everyone riots over why you did nothing about it.

    If you raised awareness, busted ass, and prevented the issue from happening.. then everyone riots over how much of a "waste" it all was since nothing happened.
