    It saddens me that this is either meant to remind people of the way things were, or it teaches them a world they never knew.

    1995 me would have been excited to see what crazy stuff is on the 2025 internet. 2025 me realizes it’s just a digital version of a carnival scam. Hot singles in your area is just the ring toss game. Give them your money, and then you lose.

    The 90s were just factually a better time. Biggest controversy about our president at that time was that our president got blowjobs.

    TimesSquare/Alley was the place to be for gaming news. And webrings were more useful than search engines.
