Cats are an endless source of entertainment for brief fifteen minute intervals throughout the day.

Unsurprisingly, the mental midget Joe Rogan supports Ky Dickens
and her absurd notions, and described The Telepathy Tapes as
“really fascinating” and said he thinks “some telepathy is real.”

Some also say Rogan's brain is real.     Doesn't mean much either LOL.

   "Glizzy"?   WTF?

In the US hot dogs are called "glizzies" because the term originally
meant a Glock handgun in Washington DC slang, and the long, thin
shape of a hot dog resembles a Glock's extended magazine. It gained
popularity in the DC metro area in the early 2000s before going viral
on social media, often referring to a hot dog on a bun.

      Only in America!

I grew up with DOS and dial up internet. Do I remember how DOS works now though? Nope.

When surveyed, most Gen-X respondents
had no idea what these sounds were...

  

These sounds cost me $4.50 an hour in the early 1990s for a 14.4Kbps connection.   Ouch!

OMG! I remember that sound so well…and the adrenaline hit when you finally connect…something not always guaranteed.

I spent $60 my first night online. I don't even remember the name of the service. It was pretty wild and primitive back then.

"Back in the day" video, streaming HD content was a physical impossibility.
We relied on stand-alone software like 1995's RealPlayer to handle heavily
compressed, postage-stamp-sized video files. Watching a three-minute,
highly pixelated movie trailer often meant letting the video "buffer" for an
hour.

For larger video files, we'd start a download before going to bed, and cross
our fingers that the dial-up connection wouldn't randomly drop overnight. A
common tragedy was if a someone else unwittingly picked up a telephone in
another room, it'd instantly sever the internet connection and ruin hours of
your past downloading!   

   It could be a tense time at the breakfast table in the morning LOL.
