a thing i have found younger researchers of the late 90s internet don't really appreciate is the number of ephemeral websites made by literal children. i was 12/13/14 making websites on freehosts for fun and i knew easily a dozen other people my age doing the same. the person who hosted the forum i was part of in high school started it at 15 on a server under his bed. there was no concept of age verification. if you had an internet connection and lax parental supervision you were good to go.

(this post is not about the utterly inane age verification laws nor is it about porn. it is about the very often ignored contributions of young people to culture.)

Ladies, if your man:

- can be found in an apartment building
- is connected with lambert's cosine law
- can be used for get steam heat
- can be used for providing heat in a building
- can be used for radiating heat

He's not your man. He's a radiator.
