You’re one of the only “shorts RUclipsrs” who makes way better long form content. This is one of my favorite videos I’ve seen just in general. Actually very informative while making me legitimately laugh out loud at parts.
As a 90s kid, the internet is awesome! Using it from Windows NT to Windows 11 to access the internet by using Internet Explorer or netscape, which now it is Firefox.
11/10 video! What an absolute banger😂 Growing up, I had no idea what the internet was for. Legit thought the only thing on it was Wikipedia, and I freaking ate that shit up. Absolutely loved reading everything that site has to offer. Didn't discover RUclips until I was like 12. But seriously, as y'all can tell by my love for Wikipedia, the history of the internet is something I love learning about. And when it comes packaged in a couples laughs and finishes with a joke about losing kids? Hell yeah
Gosh, I remember so much of the early internet as a 29 yr old. I remember getting banned on Aim or locked out of my account when I was a kid because I was chatting in a chat room. Great stuff.
Talk to someone about this. Like professional help. You don’t have to just keep leaning in to trauma. Don’t normalize this. SOURCE: someone that talked to someone and worked on similar stuff.
@@CeeJayThe13th Was that the bathtub thing? One that has stayed with me and my friends was some guy trying to divejump from a height and missed his mark and hit concrete or something with his head, not going to describe the rest but he was alive, for some time in the hospital at least. The guy who supposedly either tried to unalive himself or got into a motorcycle accident and had his face all open. The weightlifter who blew apart his bottom. All classics.
@@Josh_728 I was reading your comment and started to think of the motorcycle guy before I even got to that part lol. Yeah old man soup was the bathtub thing.
Another thing about the heavens gate site, if you go to the bottom, you can highlight to reveal black text on a black background, repeating a number of keywords like "alien" "ufo" "extraterrestrial" "end times" over and over. Especially in the early days of the internet, it meant that anyone who looked up any of these terms would be directed to their site first.
10:13 My grandpa used to take a handful of those free free AOL disks whenever he was at the supermarket. He'd take them home, string them up, and hang them in the various fruit trees around the property. All the random spinning and flashing lights kept the birds and squirrels out of those trees, so they wouldn't eat all the fruit - It's the most use anyone I know has gotten from those CD's lmao
Much like the AOL free 30 day trial discs being mailed to every home, when mikes hard lemonade debuted they too mailed sample bottles to homes. To which I swiftly went around and asked all my neighbors for theirs! Free stuff for the win!
This is probably your best video ever. It is fantastic!!! The editing and funny bits you did combined with how you described everything all formed together to make a masterpiece. I love this kind of content, keep it up
