- I recently came across a blogpost explaining something I was researching, and the comments beneath were exactly like this. Then I looked up from when it was: May 2006.
  The internet is a time machine.
  
  The internet is a time machine.
  Man, it really is and it's so cool to see. It brings back memories you forgot you had!
- The sacred texts, they're so bright I almost need to avert my eyes.

  My ROFLCopter goes SOISOISOISOISOISOI
- Is it bad that I can still read these shitposts in the correct tone?
  
  I read them in Boxxy's voice, it's automatic
- You truely were random as dice. ;)
- Oh god, I forgot about the spork thing. The sporks seemed a natural part of the foundation. Where did the sporks go? This would have been perfectly at home on the very first forum my child ass ever joined, and I can feel everything I ever loved evaporating.
- holds up spork
  Oh fuck! This caused my brain to reboot after a cascading failure of memories tripping fuses right the way back to 2001.
  
  Did your brain then play the windows XP boot up sound?
- Holy shit what a throwback to the past
- Has there ever been a study from like an anthropologist/evolutionary biologist or something about why the :) smiley won out over the =) smiley? I used to be a =) guy back in the day, but over time felt pressured to switch to :) because everyone else was using it. Now, whenever I see someone use =) I just assume they're a boomer or something.
  
  I've never thought about that. Could it be because :) became the shortcut for emoji?
  
  It came before emojis/a shortcut for them. I would think it's from T9 keyboards. If you wanted any of those types of characters, it was a cycle of a single button and : comes before =, so doing : ) was a lot less button presses than = )
- I miss MySpace.
- This made my eyes water
- Honestly, I kind of understand why the older generation was afraid of using the internet, they saw this lingo while trying to fix a leaky pipe on a Yahoo Answers thread and said "not my worldwideweb!"
  I didn't talk this incredibly stupid and "unique" on chats during AOL and MSN days but by the time I got to highschool I realized I needed to stop with all the emojis and emphasis in text form because nobody knows how nor cares to decypher what you're saying anyway.
- I used to work with a lot of people who were younger than me, and I knew a few Katy's in my time (in some cases, literally, though not all younger but still - Catherine Kathrine Kathy Cathy Kate and like 3 Katie's were all people I knew in the space of about 3 years lmfao). 😂
  E: to clarify - absolutely nothing against them! I was a closeted goth (already being bullied for but not knowing I was autistic started early and was bad enough) and I wish I could have embraced the weirdness like that.
- Did she ever made friends this day, or is it just a full on copypasta?
