This is the equivalent of the Digiorno you get when you order pizza from the place that only takes cash, has inexplicably high prices for stuff, and is always empty save for random greasy dudes in gold chains.

Tanks just seem like a relic from the WW2 era, why does any military still need them? You might as well be funneling money into training war horses or old timey cannons. An armored humvee is way more practical

We searched for Jethro Tull, started downloading it, and a minute later it was canceled and we received several messages from the peer along the lines of “stop hogging my bandwidth you loving queer, eat my poo poo.”

i had napster but my connection was super lovely so i would contact people on there who had stuff i wanted and we'd trade burned cds through the mail. still have some of them now 20 years hence but bitrot long since claimed them. fun little artifacts though, they would go all out and make copies of cover art and poo poo.

Back in the Napster days I used to edit the song "Bastard of Christ" by Deicide to include the appropriate amount of time to replicate top 40 hits and watch and laugh as people downloaded them. Man I miss that level of quality file sharing.

My mom was a teacher so all her co-workers put in orders for $20/disc. That was a great year, it funded my first gaming PC Just don't touch the PC while it's burning or it will fail

Porn was king on deployment in the 00s. I had my laptop and external hard drive mailed to Iraq, wound up spending a lot of time copying stuff to other peoples' usb drives over a month or so, and I only had around 20gb of porn (thanks dpph/Ldpb). Rest of the external was music, movies, tv shows, ebooks. There's less excitement to life now that porn is a click away and not scattered in the woods or in creepy stores with empty front parking lots (but packed tight in the rear).

i know it sounds like a convoluted pain in the rear end (and it was) and i know it sounds completely absurd by modern standards (it is!) but we were lovely music hipster dorks who didn't have any other options. the cdr one i found when i dug through my old cds a while back was Love and Death by the Flatmates, i think i burned a Monochrome Set cd for the guy.

i was a big music dork and was honestly tempted to set up that kind of arrangement a few times, especially with god figures on soulseek who had amazing libraries and consistently hundreds of downloads queued if you struck out on SLSK and had to go to *shudder* limewire or something, it was such a crap shoot what you'd get if you tried to download an album i remember die hard FAVORITE albums i had that were either a bit different or way different than what i managed to cobble together for a burned disc in the oughts
