Microblog Memes

I used to Google image search boobs in the web browser built into my PSP

I have watched porn in 128x160.

I used to be able to remember about a dozen phone numbers, now I barely remember mine.

Ah, fond memories of tying up the house phone line all weekend for a 48 hour non-stop Starcraft marathon over AOL, getting pings on battle.net that were embarrassing then but are probably considered warcrimes today.

lost my virginity in a AOL chatroom

I once ran up a $300 AOL bill. Back when they charged by the hour.

I guess it tracks that the type of person who would beat their son over an internet bill would also beat their dog. Some people have no business having kids or pets.

I remember putting stuff infront of the router to hide the internet LED when i played Maple Story and told my dad that all those others are NPCs

I had a -3k rubles bill when they were like 30:$1 for browsing supposedly free services from my mobile carrier. Dad didn't touch me, but the look in his eyes was more painful than that. It was a great lesson in not trusting random ads and free stuff.

My favorite Boomer porn stories.

One kid paid for a copy of Playboy with seventy five pennies he'd saved up.

Military kids knew when 'snap' inspections would be carried out. They'd warn the troops, who would hide their porn and beer in the woods. Then the kids would search out the stashes and abscond.

When I was twelve I was able to forward AIM to my SMS. Backs when texts where 11¢ a piece... $350 that month.

Dating when each sms cost $.20 was rough. In the long ago, BBS numbers were all long distance from our house.

Getting in trouble for calling long distance...

Oh man. I have a nostalgia for old cellphones like the Nokia or flip phones, but not the cell plans. There was initially no internet, but when it showed up it was super limited data. Limited texts. Limited minutes. But you could get free texts and calls after a certain time of day, like 5 or 6 in the evening. Plans were expensive. If you went over your allotment of texts it was a ridiculous fee like 25¢ or 50¢ a text. Same for call minutes. You were constantly clock and usage watching. I got one bill for almost $500. Ouch.

My little brother ran up an $80 texting bill and I wanted to beat him like a dog, but I didn't.

Man, of only Wet Ass Pussy existed back in those days, I feel like actually finding porn on a .WAP site would have been incredibly easy.

I had a Razr myself; after having a Sidekick. Going back to that shitty mobile web browsing experience fucking sucked. Even if you managed to find boobs on it, they're gonna be low resolution and lack a lot of color.

Unless the dude means the smartphone remake of the Razr? Or he used the OG even after the iPhone came out? He said he racked up a data bill but, like... They didn't have "data" service back then. They had talk and text. Maybe 3 or 4 phones even had real internet stuff for power users, and it was slow as fuck because you're using the incredibly slow cell network.

it was quantumlink (aol's predecessor, for the c64) chat rooms for me. dad was long gone by then. qlink was linked to my own bank account, so i felt it in a different way. for 'porn' the most accessible thing was a simple hack for c64 strip poker so they started out nekked.
