I can’t believe The Matrix is 24 years old now…

I bought myself a surplus pay phone to make sure I could always exit the Matrix. They aren’t that expensive these days! Buy they are a bit of a PITA to get working.

Doesn’t have to be a pay phone. It just has to be corded

What if I plug a charger into my phone? Or does it need to be connected to a RJ11 phone line?

I’m pretty sure it has to be a corded landline by canon

This is especially bad because there are now many countries that ended up never really building out a POTS landline network.

At some point the United States is going to decide to just stop maintaining theirs.

US Pop culture peaked in 1999-2001. Peak box office attendance and peak TV viewership occurred around that time.

Agent Smith agrees with you.

“The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization, which is of course what this is all about.”
