I was confused watching Reading Rainbow because I didn’t understand how a blind man could be reading to me.
Lil bonus, I know first hand why floppy disks are called that, but only because my dad had some old games.
I remember playing games on channel 3
Did you have the little switch screwed into the back of your set to go from “TV” to “GAME” ?
also, I came here to post “Atari 2600” but I’ll leave it in this comment instead :P
I had a small switch on the back of the adapter that chose between channel 3 or channel 4
to start, i first found out what 9/11 was through memes
And you’re old enough to be online? That doesn’t seem correct
(This comment also serves to say how old I am)
Why? 2024-2001=21. That’s definitely old enough to be online
Edit: 23, definitely old enough
Gmail BETA
Gmail account is firstname.lastname and neither of them are rare.
Even though I don’t use Gmail anymore I keep that account alive.
Fun tip, dots in a Gmail address are ignored, so you can also use firstnamelastname, first.name.lastna.me, or any other combo to receive mail at
Fun fact:
Not all services that use “sign in with google” will respect that, though most will
Backblaze immediately comes to mind as one that always makes me include the dot or it gets pissy
Yeah but it used to not be ignored so now me and this random person with my name basically share an email address. We don’t get each other’s emails all that often somehow. We first chatted years ago when I got an important email for a job she applied for (soon after they started ignoring the dots), and she seemed decent so I didn’t change it. Definitely a huge risk but here we are.
I still have [religious figure]@gmail.com
The account is completely overrun with spam. And there are about 20 people who seem to think it is their actual email address and I get like legit power bills and stuff on it.
For me, gmail beta in college. Also my first gmail account got banned for sending myself too many invites to make more accounts… to make GameFAQs accounts. >___>
… how many accounts did you make? I made a new one every six months or so back then
My birth year is the same as the title of a dystopian future novel by George Orwell.
