  1. You Are Jeff Bezos is a 2018 satirical text adventure by Kris Lorischild (Twine), where players wake as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and must spend his $156B fortune to (maybe) regain their identity 💸🕹️. It went viral and sparked media coverage 📰. Someone should make an Elon Musk “trillionaire” version too 🚀 #gaming #satire #oldnews en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Are_

  2. Ahhh ikke så hurtig gælder kun hvis du ikke er kandidat "uddannelsesloftet er revet ned. Hvis du har gennemført en bacheloruddannelse, står det ikke længere i vejen for at du kan søge optagelse på en ny bacheloruddannelse." ufm.dk/aktuelt/pres... #oldnews

  4. From 2024, I can't recall if I read about this at the time, but pretty wild.

    "(In the) multi-person video conference, it turns out that everyone [he saw] was fake."

  7. "girls have finally swiped the boys' last private, personal thing"

    This is from a magazine for teens in the St. Louis area; apparently, traditional gender roles were melting away. In 1949.

    (We all agree "Speed Clayton" won the name lottery, though, right?)

  8. @hecklefish #oldnews The info in the breaches is old for the most part. But also remember that breaches are additive. You don’t need all the info at once. Just a little breach here, a little breach there. Here a breach, there a breach, everywhere a breach breach.

    Also, passwords that have been compromised are old, unused, and mostly for abandoned accounts. Still doesn’t change the fact I need to spend time going and verifying these things, or even that I get alerts that my shit is found in X number of breaches this week. That’s X number of companies that done fucked up, trust or not. Legit info or not.

    The internet has just become a cesspool.

  9. Kent DOLTS: First with the year old public KCC report…

    This hot in from the Reform UK Kent DOLTS (Department Of Looking Terminally Stupid) team, presumably the first outcome of their clever, clever AI deep dive into the top secret numbers from their interrogation on Monday.

    Except it’s no such thing. This is a direct read from a KCC report to KCC Audit Committee in May 2024 (so it’s over a year old, talking about older things) which Kent’s processes and audit found, reported, made public, discussed and sought to improve.

  11. Writing a "Cyber Security" book for my local seniors community and I am documenting Facebook privacy settings.

    Can I just say how much I really, really, dislike Facebook?

    It's just designed to screw the user.

    RE: that thing about Dream Theatre.

    To be clear about it. It wasn't just like a random jackass who put together that CD. I mean, I guess so? a rose by any other name.

    **For example**
    What's pictured here-- upon my 20-secs-spent in "googling-it", i find this pic (result #1). That milk carton thing was on the CD cover! But not 3D like this!
    So, what the hell is this? "Roger", i presume is a friend of my guy. Did my guy employ this guy's services for the album cover? Is this a small-time cartoon that I should know?

    Very odd, indeed. No?

    I found the album cover 2 secs before posting! haha

    "A Change of Seasons" appears to be the #DreamTheater album

  15. Happy REBECCA RACCOON DAY to all who celebrate!

    She avoided the dinner table, and lived as a White House pet for the rest of the term.

    The immortal headline is from the Boston Herald, 26 November 1926.

  16. Thank you Peter of 'The Hoon' for this daft story: "Man accidentally shoots himself in the groin". He was in a Walmart, in the meat department....
    It happened in 2018 so it's not exactly news but it still made me laugh/cringe/despair

  17. I only recently discovered Dawn had changed their formula after cracking open a new bottle. It smells awful. It smells like the carpet cleaner after my dog peed on the rug. My local store must have been selling some old stock up until this point.

    #OldNews... Austria's the most fascist state ever.

  21. On a Tasmania Archives page , I came across these photos from 1918. (libraries.tas.gov.au/Record/Ar) They might be of interest.

    Also, an extract from a contemporary new story:

    "TORNADO AT QUEENSTOWN.
    "WHOLE TOWN MORE OR LESS DAMAGED. ELECTRIC LIGHT CUT OFF.
    "QUEENSTOWN. October 23.
    "A tornado of unprecedented violence and ferocity, which lasted for 10 hours, visited Queenstown last night. Yesterday was delightfully fine and calm up to about 7 p.m., when a strong easterly wind sprang up. This gradually increased in fury, until at 3 o'clock terrific squalls were rushing and roaring in a manner which caused the strongest structures to away like trees, while dust, grit, and small pebbles were twirling in the air and fusilading on the windows The gale continued to increase in violence, and about 9 o'clock the electric light wires broke under the strain, and the principal buildings were plunged in darkness."
    Mercury, 24 October 1918, p. 5

  24. Assholes. Why couldn’t Coca Cola just sell it off? I loved that drink. It was always selling out at Whole Foods. I don’t believe there wasn’t demand. #oldnews cnn.com/2022/05/24/business/co

  25. @tomn94 j'étais confus pendant quelques secondes en voyant les articles. #oldnews

  26. 32 years ago, Intel lost in court to AMD which allowed the latter to release the Am386, a fully compatible clone of the i386 DX CPU. This paved the way for affordable 32 bit computing for PCs.

  27. pretty interesting that on this day in 1925 the Illustrated London News printed an article spanning a few pages about the discovery of Australopithecus Africanus which was considered to be impossible since scientists at the time couldn't believe humans had evolved in Africa. how little they knew! 98 fricken years ago! #OldNews #history #evolution #ValentinesDay

  28. I just did a few google searches, using a custom date range of "Before Jan1, 2013", for the term "chinese spy balloons".

    Let's just say this isn't a new thing.
