Whilst working on a school project on dental health back in, geez, 1998 or something, a buddy and I typed "False Teeth" into a search engine (maybe Yahoo!), and we stumbled across a website about elderly women performing fellatio. Our school project was immediately diverted, and we spent the rest of the afternoon looking up porn (on a school computer mind you).

The internet is for porn:

My first ever search was on a friend's computer doing research for school. My topic... water sports.
The image this returned is still burned into my mind over thirty years later.

Brings back memories of me using my Ye Olde WebTV and trying to remember a certain My Little Pony identification guide for 80's ponys. The website was called My Little Pony Girl. The website I went to sure did have some ponys, but not the ones I was looking for.

Hehe I ran my own BBS for a few years in HS (class of '91) and definitely had the adult section even tho I was not yet. đ

I was boring. The first stuff I looked up was about video games, I think.
RadasNoir
For me, it was less about being boring and more that I, uh, could only look up so much with a parent and/or family member pretty much constantly looking over my shoulder. As soon as I finally was able to have a computer, internet access, AND privacy? Well, the sky was the limit after that....

There was a talk, mainly about spelling, but you know whatever

The first time my grandmother saw my mom using the internet she quietly asked her "is it true"?, "is what true, mom?"; "that there's pornography on there?"; "yeah, mom, want me to show you?"; "yeah.".

Anna Cramling on YouTube. Stone cold fox, chess wizard, parents are grandmasters iirc. To this day I call pulling back an overextended piece a Cramling because a) it can be a straight up sexy move and b) she is really good about hyperextending and then pulling back for a killing line on the king. Also I make up names for my chess moves (the Frenchman's cumsock) because I can't be bothered to remember the real names. My favorite is calling pushing your queen up one "crooked foot."

Are you from Massachusetts? That's about the only accent where i can think rhe two words might sound similar.

I had the misfortune of beginning my exploration of the web just as Rotten.com took off.
Some of that shit hijacks my brain to this day.
I'm having a lovely time, drinking beer on the beach, then BOOM, mangled corpse in six pieces, right in my face.
Guts stretched behind on the asphalt like party streamers, eyeball lying on top of a bed of brain matter spilling from an open skull.
My brain will just randomly pull up that image from time to time, and it can be very distracting.
Once during sex!

I havenât looked at that site in many years. There were things on there I wasnât comfortable seeing as well as thought no one should be seeing this stuff. Usually the corpse pics.

while our senators were worried about violent video games, we were looking at this crap and daring each other to see it too. Could you imagine how the internet would be different if they actually took it seriously?

I know a witch who won't say shit about her coven on account of being sworn to secrecy. I REALLY wanna know what kinda stuff they do, I mean I'd kinda like to join in
Foxsayy
1/2 I dated a witch. They light candles and do little witchy rituals for prosperity and stuff like calling out to spirit or whatever form of deity/nature they patronize or believe in. If they're mean they'll light candles and do curses ("black magic"). Astrology is essential hereâall whatever houses of the moon have to be very right and aligned, but thankfully the stars seem to align well for nearly any purpose at least once a month (how spiritually convenient!). Candles are essential. Candles
Foxsayy
2/3 are to witches what shiny things are to crows - extremely pleasant to them and usually necessary to have an excessive amount around for anything.
They swap dreams and interpretation, the diviners & tarot readers will talk, do readings, and discuss how previous readings were right (in hindsight). They light sage because it agitates evil spirits (they'll suspiciously eyeball you at home for coughing on it too). If you put a witch's predictions in your calendar, when the date comes, you can
LeMegachonk
They do the same thing that members of every religion do: a bunch of rituals that make them feel important and special but do absolutely nothing whatsoever.

This started way before 2000. The internet has been around long before the WWW was invented. In the late 1980s we were on the Internet pulling up freaky stuff from BBSs. I still remember the Flintstoneâs porn.
ballsoutflyer
yeah... i remember that. and two girs one cup.
LeMegachonk
BBSes were not "the Internet". They weren't connected to each other.
irrational1618
Being connected to each other is not the definition of the Internet. It's not even the definition of the WWW. You might want to learn about TCP/IP (transmission control protocol and internet protocol). If you are interested in the WWW, learn about HTTP (hyper text transfers protocol)
LeMegachonk
Where do you think the name "Internet" comes from? It comes from the concept of INTERconnecting multiple disparate NETworks to each other. DARPA coined the term "Internet" in the 70s for this purpose. TCP/IP is just the protocol that happened win the "protocol wars" of the 70s and 80s. Other protocols were in competition and could have achieved a similar result to the modern Internet. Let's just be glad a proprietary protocol like SNA or DECnet didn't carry the day.
