Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Vaguely heard about it on the radio on the way to high school. First period was “intro to flash animation” taught by a boomer who didn’t know we could access YouTube on our computers. Everyone was watching videos about what happened and ignoring the teacher. One kid was late and she asked “why are you late” and he was like “ there was a national emergency”
He didn't know you could access YouTube on those computers because YouTube wouldn't exist for 3.5 more years (Feb 2005).
If you were watching it on a computer it was probably something else. Maybe MSN or something.
Yeah I guess so. Some 2000’s internet video hosting
Remembering the internet before YouTube and Google is weird. Trading AIM screen names with the girls who'd talk to me. Good times.
Those late nights on AIM in high school are something I really miss. Putting up cryptic song lyrics in your away message, just hoping your crush would see them.
Yeah, putting cryptic song lyrics as my Slack status before stand-up just isn't the same.
