Simpler times
(thelemmy.club)
I recall when computers occupied entire floors of buildings.
Intended with love and respect.
Thanks, I needed a good laugh today.
I’ll have you know I went in there all the time!
I was actually sleeping there...sometimes on the keyboard, when compiling a kernel took to long for young me to stay awake
Me too, but you could quit any time you wanted!
I couldnt
The more time you spend in there, the more you become the computer
But I like having my own bed room...
Same with phones.
They should be nailed to the wall, as is proper. I resent people being able to ring my mp3 player/satnav
Remember having to walk to the kitchen to answer the phone?
What kind or rich person had an entire room dedicated to the phone?
Our city used to have these small glass rooms with a single phone inside on street corners.
Oh you mean the see-through urinals?
Yes
Our city used to have these small glass rooms with a single phone inside on street corners.
But it does still live in its own room!
I'm just in there more often now.
Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
To be fair, you don't have to buy a laptop or treat it as being mobile.
Or carry a mobile computer around with you in your pocket.

Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you
