Dial Up. Yeah I know the sound and I know the time it took to load anything with. But it’s something I won’t ever miss having. I would much rather be on a 1MB connection if I had to choose between that or dial up ever again. I also hated how easy it was to be kicked off, if anyone called the phone, you were off it in seconds.

    It was pretty popular into the early 2000s as well as far as I’m concerned. Just not in media as much.

    Options for word choices have diminished and aren’t as edgy, but I still see men call each other cupcakes and removed in lieu of using more classical words.

    Edit: Guess there’s some pretty strong word filters here. It was the b-word in case anyone was wondering. Feel like I’m in elementary school…
