What was the world like pre-internet

There was more time to think. Now people are constantly in front of a screen wasting time.

I jerked off to sports illustrated swimsuit edition magazines.

I didn't have Internet until 2003. I played lots of video games and played outside. Fuck social media for turning me into an outcast because I didn't want to make an MySpace account.

Or Victoria's Secret catalogs.

And scrambled late-night Skinemax.

Porn was harder to find. Music was harder to find. Answers to questions were harder to find. I guess it was like the current world you just couldn’t look up things as easily.

You would have to make a phone call to someone or write them. You could also try a library or encyclopedia. Sometimes you learned things from news on tv or the radio.

People still wasted time like they do with phones now. It was just with different stuff. Books and crossword puzzles.

Comfy as fuck.
Even pre smart phone internet was based.

MSN Chat was 1000 times better then Tinder.

Sitting at home on a device is one thing. But these Zombie zoomers all walking around staring at cell phones is insanity.

Wasn't born pre-1960's, so not sure.

First internet connection was in the early 90's. I remember Gopher, FTP, and maybe telnet. Didn't do the www thing until mid 90's when Netscape came out.

a lot more wholesome, the internet ruined my life.

WILD AND FREEEEEEEEEEEE

Must’ve been impossible to be woke on the JQ unless you had to deal with them

information was limited to your local censored and tracked library. the last 25 or so years have been nuts with so much information readily available

>Microsoft: internet is for fags until late 90's when they had to adapt.

With the internet, humanity augments itself with the power of a god. As long as the fire on consciousness burns, we will conquer the stars. A great shedding of those not able to contribute meaningfully to our conquest in an efficient manner will occur. Competition for resources will be intense, but those who make it through will witness a golden age of humanity fighting against the new frontier of space. Prepare yourself and your progeny.

it was also written on DOS using fucking garbage computers + tools. Terrible software was standard back then, it all sucked

of* consciousness

I don't know, I only knew about my surroundings, I didn't know about the rest of the world until the Internet.

Porn was readily available on bbs dial-up sites before the general public started getting internet connections. You could go to a supermarket, find a magazine with lots of bbs phone #s and start dialing. Lots of porn everywhere. Take 20 minutes to find out what image you got. Really sucked when it was some gay shit that you paid long distance for.

america was booming, boomers were angrier, we rode in the backseat of our dad's oldsmobiles with no seatbelts mtv and radio played really good music like even the music that werent even hits were great it was based

Degenerates weren’t able to organize in large numbers.

Nah man everyone is just going fucking insane, we created hell

Used to have an app to hack Prodigy chat rooms on an account which I purchased with a fake credit card number. I still can't believe it took them a year to figure it out.

The internet was very small, although I had been BBSing for years before that, so it was small to me.

You ever notice how search engines seem to be getting shittier and shittier?

Unless you grew up around them or had a family member who went to prison like I did you didn't think about it much. Luckily the 90's was also when the History channel might as well have been called the Hitler channel. Though they demonized him, as all Juden programming does, they still managed to imprint the ideals of nationalism, order, and those sorts of things on me. So in a sense, if Kikes would have just shut up about Hitler and the holocaust, I probably wouldn't even know they were shitty.

The internet wasn't the problem. It was when the normies came on the problems began.

Psychopaths might reasonably inherit the earth. If our current elite manage to bunker themselves well enough while culling humanity with nuclear/biological agents, a new dominant gene pool selecting for the morally devoid, cunning, spiritually dead form of human may occur.

I'm old. I had Prodigy, in the late 80s I think it was. All I remember about it was that it was a few news stories and an online encyclopedia. There was some sort of chat, too. I can remember being about 12 and chatting with grown ups. BBSs were earlier on and cooler-- pirate stuff and hacking annd anarchist cookbook shit, but it took a long distance call to connect usually. All the good ones were in California.

people knew their way around way fucking better. people were smarter in general desu

I used BBS's and met people I'm still friends with to this day

This is one of the single worst things about the internet and especially social media.
I asked some furries in the early 00s how furry culture became a thing - and they candidly said, well, because of the internet actually.

So true.

In 1986 I had access to the Internet and email at work from a chatector based terminal. Usenet was what we surfed. Boards like comp.unix, alt.news, alt.humor these were message boards like today's image boards but without the images. It took hours to down load encoded image files and recompile them into graphics mode, but you had to be at a console to view them. Never new what you'd see. The jargon was similar LMAOROTF, HMHO, LOL, stuff like that have been around for a long time. Flame wars were fun. No one cared about typos and Asci art was popular. The WWW was looked down upon when people started predicting it would take over. People in the tech world thought access to the Internet should always be free, the proposal was that people would have to pay to view content and that pissed us off in the industry. We didn't want the Internet to go commercial.

I rode my bike to my friends house, we rode our bikes to consecutive friends houses until we had a squad to play football until sundown.
Then we went to eat dinner at eachothers houses, left, went home, did homework, and went to sleep.
Took vacations, even weekend get aways, as family. Camping often. Fishing or hunting sometimes.
Knew America was great.
Knew our crimes were less than our acts of good.
Less worried about shit.
