Now it goes skibidi sigma whatever the hell these brain rots say…
The internet used to scream at you when you went online. Now it’s the reverse.
HOW DARE YOU WRITE SOMETHING THAT HITS ME SO DEEP, I NEVER SHOUT AT THE INTERNET
When I was that age, the internet did not make modem sounds. Because the fridge-sized computers in the server room (with way less power than a cell phone) had no dialup.
Being able to log in to the internet with an actual modem came much later.
I, too, remember the times when we had to sacrifice a robot every time we wanted to connect to the internet.
The Pipe Gods must be appeased

- hit of nostalgia if you're old
- education if you're young
Watching that was a huge hit of nostalgia, was saying “Mm mmmm” and making a stank face it was so good
It was more of a: PEEEEEEEEEEEEE-OOOOOOOOOOO-AAAAAHHHHHHH-EYON-EYON

DEE-DEE-DEE-DEE-EE-ER-EE-EE-CHHHHHHHHHTTT
There was a checkbox to mute the noise on the dialer. We had 2 phone lines, so I've been terminally online since windows 3.11, and I very rarely heard heard the dial up noise
That sound was the best part of connecting to the internet, like a liminal space
Hell, that was the sound of my games loading.
