After seeing today's Lateral episode (this is not a spoiler btw), I was reminded of the days when sites would use pop-up licences on their websites. Specifically, the ones where the text in the pop-ups was editable - because someone fucked up.
You could literally delete some/all the text and write whatever you wanted in its place. Then you'd click the ACCEPT button and it'd work.
I'm still owed billions of dollars as well as several first-born children.

Does anyone else remember the time when those who could afford a #webcam and had #xDSL instead of the others who still had 56k dialup, had websites with a tiny image from their webcam that updated every minute or more?
One of those sites was #dansaa.com, I had no idea who this Chelsea was but watching her and her friends partying out in front of the camera was something so new and amazing I couldn't stop watching the "stream".

Random memory of life before the internet.
In the early 1980s I discovered the existence and general shenanigans of the Society of Creative Anachronism by reading a couple of copies of a poorly-printed magazine published by the Kingdom Of The West that I found in a cardboard box of free-please-take trash outside a used bookstore.
The nearest chapter was at least 500 miles from my house. I never was an SCA member, but those weird zines made me a fan!

@aliide @sarajw @liilliil No can do! You all have to find your own #Iranian #Bat #Breeder - It's a #Mastodon #RightOfPassage from the #OldenDays when #Hashtags were purely numeric and people made #Obscure #IRC #References like you can't do on #Threads :)
Also I just saw there was a #HashtagGames hashtag. Cute.
