Am i the only person who is driven insane by the insinuation that WiFi is synonomous with 'having the internet'?
No. It's the Chromebook/iPad generation. I feel like they don't truly understand the Internet or computers. Having used Windows 98 and onward, my friends and I had to really learn to troubleshoot and learn the innards of the system. Nowadays, everyone is in a protective shell like Chrome OS, iOS or Android. It's all dumbed down now. Simplicity isn't always good imo
Edit: Windows was a gateway drug into Linux
Buy AAPL
Then start plotting buy/sell points for bitcoin and GME (don't want to risk forgetting those over the next 15-25 years)
Ninjaedit: and real estate right after the 2008 crash
Super Nintendo
Sega Genesis
When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this
50" inch screen, money green leather sofa
Playing DOOM with the friend
Go online, just like I did back then. I've been online before the web. And it was more fun. And no ads.
I didn't go online when I first woke up. I often though would check see how my downloads did overnight. In 95 I was still using the local collage dial in.
At least, we had a leased line of 38400 bits per second for the whole department. ;-)
For a time around 1998-2000 I ran the internet connection for a multi county agency on one 56k dial up and squid proxy server. It worked and it worked pretty well. We did however love it when the local cable company finally rolled out two way cable internet.
Make coffee?
None of you said, "prevent 9/11." For shame.
As a non american, this would have never crossed my mind
Well now I'll be thinking all day on the thought experiment of how one could actually prevent it, assuming they're only a US citizen.
I guess you could send in an anonymous bomb threat on the morning for both towers, but that still wouldn't prevent the tragedy of all those onboard.
We know where they went to flight school. Intercept and eliminate those hijackers. You will go to jail for murder, but you will change the course of history.
Lay in bed for a moment and listen to the tunes on my sweet Panasonic clock radio alarm before slapping the snooze button. Then suddenly wake up to realize I have a clock radio alarm again.
Invest in Apple.
Apple, Amazon... Plenty of others to choose from that were considered joke stocks for some reason
Boot up my dad's computer and play some shareware off the magazine cover disk I got months ago.
Or go to the library I guess.
Two chicks at the same time
Use the bathroom.
I woke up
Then I went back to bed
Said I woke up
Then I went right back to bed
Back to usenet.
Assuming I'm the same age I am today, probably the same thing 😅
Wake up, morning constitutional, coffee, bong-rip, check the server.
Start prepping for some strategic tech investments.
Turn the TV on.
I'll start a few websites, like facebook.com, twitter.com, reddit.com
Make them all federated sites right out of the gate
AOl, or the BBS's that I was a member of.
Take my routine morning shit. But instead of my phone I’m reading the label on the back of any bottle I can reach from the throne.
Probably play some Crash Bandicoot, or go to my nine o clock lecture.
Chill
Buy Apple stock.
Boot up my 486, call over my friends and play MK1
Alternatively make some new M:TG decks using my new Ice Age booster packs and head to the FLGS
Cell phones existed in 1995. They were expensive and just used for making phone calls, tho.
Had the internet too. I'd be playing Doom or checking out Usenet forums.
I'd walk out to the street then light me up that cigarette and strap shoes on my feet.
I'd probably try to find a reason where everything went wrong. I'd really like to find a reason why my money is all gone.
Ask that blonde for a date...
Do I wake up at 6 years old? Or as I am now, but in '95?
Doesn't matter, I'm watching fuckin POWER RANGERS.
1995? I'd play the just released International superstar soccer deluxe for the SNES
Go into a lab and start researching time travel. Proving to scientist that I'm from the future shouldn't be that hard.
That's 29 years ago. Eeryone I know is as good as dead. I need to find a way to go back
I'd hug my mom. Then I'd go ask the pretty next door girl for a date; I lesrned later in life that she also had a crush on me at the time, but since I was plain looking and slightly overweight nerd I never thought I'd hsve any chance with her.
After getting that out of my system I'd do the obligatory investing.
Use my current knowledge of memory-safe system languages to invent D before Walter Bright, but without the garbage collection.
What was I doing in 1995?
I would wake up, pour some Frosted Flakes and play Donkey Kong Country.
What would I do now?
Go outside and take a slow walk through my old neighborhood and probably cry.
See DJ Heather and silicon soul live.
