@argv_minus_one @neil Mastodon is a just a seperate interwebs for elder Millennials, Gen-X'ers, and Boomers. Sometimes we let the kids hang out with us because we're cool like that. And oh yeah, rumor has it that John Mastodon is like 68 or something.

AARP sucks ass, it's mostly a marketing scam and while you can SIGN UP online, just fuckin' try to CANCEL online! It might as well be a big dispenser of Val-Pak coupons.

@argv_minus_one @neil you forgot to check how the phone books were used. People kept them as monitor stands long after their original use was forgotten.
On the other hand, those were EGA CRT monitors, so nevermind.
