Title: I love TBA
Post by: Ayyyyy on March 30, 2025 11:42 PM
I love TBA because my discord post history reminds me that one time a hundred years ago I used to be funny.
Sometimes I go back and remind myself like "hey what happened to being the giggle guy,how did I become so boring".

Sure, them loving Frutiger Aero and the Y2K aesthetic (like myself) was the beginning of that. although it's the typical nostalgia wave that happens every two or three decades, like in the 80's with 50's & 60's culture. but at least there's a moment to appreciate this aesthetics and I'm thankful for that.

I think if they want to indulge in Y2K aesthetics they should be forced to use dial-up internet while doing so
see how THEY like it

They also starting to develop a like for old tech, but I don't know if they are able to go that further.

Zoomer here and I love old tech. I'm browsing this forum with my IBM Simon and listening to music with my gramophone

LOL you gotta be careful when doing that... Punch one home wrong and you'll have to start all over again!
Though you could probably say that about many things in life  ;)
