computers used to scream when you connected them to the internet. this was correct
@heatdeath
My computer used to say:
"It's alive! ALIVE!!"
@heatdeath Times have changed. Now it is the humans who scream.
@heatdeath @semanticist actually computers stopped screaming because the users started screaming when going online instead
@heatdeath Now the internet screams at you, which is rude
@heatdeath and now I scream when I read about certain people on the internet. I won't say who but I'm sure you can all guess.
@heatdeath They still do, but the screaming is ultrasonic now so you can't hear it
@heatdeath they tried to warn us
@heatdeath The internet used to be something you had to sit down in one place to use and you could get up and walk away from the internet whenever you wanted.
@mrencyclopedia @heatdeath Every so often someone cuts a cable here and BAM! No internet for a few days. It’s fairly freeing.
@heatdeath sometimes i scream while connecting just to feel at home
@heatdeath
Now I scream inside when I have to connect to one of the ten million average awful websites
@heatdeath now instead of screaming, they vomit, but the vomit consists of ai generated slop and ads everywhere.
@heatdeath they have not forgotten those times.
@heatdeath That and play a little bit of slap bass.
@heatdeath we just muted their ability. They still scream, but unheard.
@heatdeath I *require* this in TShirt form.
@heatdeath now we scream when computers connect us to the internet and the circle of life is complete.
@heatdeath
They still do, you just can't hear it.
@heatdeath pretty sure they still do, but on the inside.
@heatdeath Project idea. Raspberry pi server that screams like a modem. Got the parts need the code.
