I miss the old internet, especially the parts I never got to experience. So instead of doomscrolling and letting the algorithm decide what I see, I’ve been spending some of my free time exploring what’s left of it.

It sucks seeing so many forums and imageboards fade away. Some are still accessible through Web Archive, like 420chan and Dreamchan, but a lot, like Late Nights, are just gone forever. Still, I’ve noticed small communities popping up again, which is awesome. We really need an internet built for people, not just for AI and inflated egos.

I miss how simple and full of substance things used to be, so I want to bring some of that back, and maybe even create something new. Even the new communities are lacking of something, it's like they are trying to emulate the aesthetics only (the ones I found until now)

so, anon, got any cool nostalgic websites to share? 

Saw this one yesterday, pretty interesting. The person that made this is really creative.

That's what I'm talking about, internet becoem an A.I slop land and dopamine addiction trap, people are too stuck on this addiction to realize how bad it is, and I'm too fighting against it. 

>I call someone a faggot online and now they try to ban or arrest me, instead of laughing it off and moving on with more important things.

That's sad, people are losing their career because of a simple comment or joke, I myself had problems with the law because of a simple joke I made in a chat with a friend. It was really traumatizating.

Internet it's really not the same anymore, I already use firefox and Ublock origin but I will starting using the other tools you mentioned, and yeah, definetly need to delete my social media.
In a way it just became the way real life always has been. You must always be careful and never speak or act "wrong" in public. Internet hasn't so much died as it was remade in the image of real life. Definitely not the best thing since sliced bread.

'You must always be careful and never speak or act "wrong" in public.

This is obvious, nobody here is talking about being free to post bad things online. Most of the times you can get in trouble for a bad joke in a private conversation, which is ridiculous because that wouldn't happen in real life It's not normal, A.I slop doesn't happen in real life, it's not normal. Hyper sexualized content wasn't too normal in real life too. You clearly didn't read everything people here are saying.
Anymore I just dial in, get what I need, then log out. Now that everything we post gets slurped up for AI training everywhere - even people I work with are eating this AI nonsense up (and they should know better, they lost thousands on turdcoins last hype cycle). 
But not to be too much of a downer, real life is pretty great so I'll be spending my spring/summer outdoors!
But I do remember BBS access in the early 90's - video games on 386/486 PCs, finding out what anime was (Maison Ikkoku and Kimagure Orange Road), colleges had the goods!
Regular message boards and personal web pages were neat in Web 1.0. My parents made me buy my own dial up account because I was a net junkie and using up all the hours. 
Gnome darts was my favorite flash game, it vanished when Flash cycled out. Foamy / Ill Will Press was my jam for flash animation - they still have it on youtube but the new stuff looks like AI tinkering... plus I'm not in college anymore so it's probably not funny like when I was 21 and drunk. 
I dunno, just glad I checked out on Web 2.0 for the most part - I don't have socials haunting me and the people I did interact with were the real deal. I'd almost argue the Facebook/Instagram era was even worse than the short form video and Discord push right now. I don't envy kids trying to navigate any of it though. It reminds me of when videogames and movies switched to CG 20+ years ago - it was ROUGH for a while there; yikes.

The alien thread has gotten me nostalgic for some good old fashioned conspiracy theories. Nowadays it's all just commodotized creepypastas and political shitflinging, which is fucking laaaaame.

What are some of your favorite conspiracy theories of the more obscure or classic varieties? Thought provoking, entertaining, or just weird.

The more schizo, convoluted, detailed, and overcomplicated the better.

I took a look at your book and wrote a longpost but it dead together with expired captcha, so I'll condense it to a sentence and a quesstion.

S: This book isn't about psychology, it is a whistleblower's report about governments being the main source of all crime, which actually is obvious if you give it a thought.
Q: What did you want to say and what exactly I were supposed to learn from this book?

I don't believe in all of these, but I think they're interesting:
All of the significant figures of the Civil Rights Era were assassinated as a cleanup operation to move on to cults and serial killers, then religious fundamentalists, then teens. The pattern before this was with Southern revivalists, bandits, and organized criminals, in that order. This may go all the way back to Federalists versus Anti-Federalists or even Patriots versus Loyalists.

Quantum physics is developed and the ideas of alternate dimensions and time travel are propagated as a form of escapism because physics to that point indicated assured outcomes for every event, meaning determinism is correct and free will doesn't exist across time.

"Human" is an umbrella term used to describe chimeras of species of hominids. Some of these chimeras, such as the San, reached dead ends in concepts as simple as self awareness.

The prominence of cancer as a cause of death is due to both environmental pollution and the adoption of sedentary lifestyles, which themselves promote environmental pollution. The roots of cancer causing issues aren't tackled because cancer research is heavily tied to life extension research.

You could give yourself any mental illness. Many of the MK projects were meant to determine how people gained mental illnesses and what was required to induce them. People don't focus on how much worse the MK programs were in Canada after they were revealed in the US and UK.

Francis E. Dec's ramblings about gangster computer gods were banal criticisms against the US government and post-WW2 world order.

Jesus is an amalgam of figures just as Judaism is an amalgam of religions, but the god of both testaments is the same. He was an inevitable figure as Western religions pushed toward centralization, and similar figures existed beforehand but failed to gain wide audiences. Peter and Paul are two figures who were forcibly reconciled to maintain a Christian church.

Before I had any other reason to keep going, I was in a similay spot, but with a cat not a dog. My cat would wait at my door for me to come home from work and then follow me around the house. If I ever sat down, he would either lay on me or sit on my arm. I thought about eating lead a lot, but stopped because I realized if I died, my cat would be waiting at the door forever.
Please pet your dog for me.

>One that has become extremely common is people from outside the Southern U.S. saying "y'all." I don't know if they're aiming to sound black or more just folksy, but it sounds annoyingly affected coming from a Northerner. It's not like other groups don't have their own vernacular.
This. I literally grew up in the US South, and we used 'yall' frequently when specifying 'us' (or 'me') vs. 'them'. It's simply a language artifact for that part of the world, and isn't really reflective of a low-IQ, black mentality **(though as to the origin of the term 100+ years ago, who knows?)The actually low-intellect among us were fond of "you'uns" instead, which still gives me a chuckle today.

I certainly don't understand the forms & terms of proper English as many others (yourself included), but I can instantly pick up on the affectation you mentioned if it's inauthentic pandering. Can't even explain why really, but that's the case for me.

I had an uncle whose family had some Irish ancestry (he had an Irish name and seemed to identify with Ireland, but I don't know how Irish his family tree actually was), and he used to say stuff like "youse guys" sometimes. He's the only person I've ever heard talking like that in real life. I thought it was just a Northeastern thing, but maybe not.

Saying "folks" (or, God forbid, "folx") all the time instead of "people" is another one. It's not really associated with a specific region the way "y'all" is, but it's used in a similar way to sound like one of the lowly commoners. And for a double whammy of inauthentiic signaling, you can use both in the same sentence.

No you're right, that's definitely a Southie (South-Boston, that is) thing. 

>Yall Folks
Heh. I can actually see me saying that (and authentically so) when I was young.
Haven't played it recently, but was reminded of it because I saw it on sale. I played Wild Hearts for free back when some stranger gave me a free game pass code. It's basically Monster Hunter, but you also build contraptions for dealing with enemies. The basic formula is that you build three smaller traps on top of one another and they combine into a larger one depending on what they are and what knowledge you have unlocked (which you get through epiphanies when doing certain actions while fighting large monsters). It also has some rudimentary base building you can do on all the maps to passively farm crafting/cooking materials, which is OK I guess. The weapons' movesets seem to be a lot more shallow than Monster Hunter's which is what the traps are supposed to make up for I guess. The only really fun weapon I played with was some wire-blade thing that made the game feel like Attack on Titan. It was really fun being airborne and orbiting monsters until lunging at them for big combo attacks. The character models have really ugly underwear, which ruins the appeal of the skimpier armor sets. Big shame because some of them looked pretty nice. It's around 10 USD now, but not too sure if I would recommend it.
Been playing unciv. Really not liking it, though I keep playing because I really want to (and because I have no money or computer for the foreseeable future and so free mobile games are really my omly options for a time sink). It's braindead easy unless you play on the higher difficulties and when you do you end up unavoidability behind in the early game since the ai just builds things faster than you. And then you work up to a military twice the size as anyone else and it's just a slog to go around killing every one one at a time since the happiness mechanic forces you to slow down and either. You can have one good big war and then you win, since.the ai is incapable of efficient warfare. Either they overrun you with numbers or you crush them with minima losses. And if you do the latter you almost certainty have an army that all the remaining nations together couldn't beat. I should just stop playing.

I like how it shows his paranoia, the protagonist seems afraid of the outside world and wants to be left alone, possibly hinting at feelings of anxiety or mistrust.

It's neat to see him here. Prozac and Nobody are two enigmas that have never been cracked. I remember when Prozac used to cycle what was on the site every few months. I wonder what he's doing nowadays. Somebody on IA posted all of the YouTube season and first season of Nobody, though he's missing the second season and a certain movie. I hope no one on YouTube ever brings eyes on them. Years ago, Prozac and Nobody lashed out at that poo who recently covered /late/.
theres this weird site/artpiece/schizo rambling collection thing called "Spook...."  . i dont think its "real", maybe some sort of early ARG/viral guerrila marketing or just weird art. the way i found it was on an ancient " /x/ creepy stuff iceberg" image, when they used to be good. the guy who did it is this fairly small artist from nyc that has done other art pieces at museums and some stuff online and seems to be active on ig. if you go on it youll understand better but it says that it was started as a project because this guy who ran an artzine back in the late 90s early 00s got a bunch of pings from a military email/ip and decided to track it(? im bad at computers) and it was basically looking at a bunch of schizo conspiracy and alien stuff. mostly alien stuff. it goes seriously deep , you can follow links that go into links for dozens of pages and different sites from back in the old internet. some of the pages are berry shrimple containing just links, some seem to be unrelated govt agencies (like a generic science grant money agency, for example), one page i got had like 20.000 word manifesto of some "alien truth" group called the nexus/nexus 7(???). about 20-25% of the links dont work anymore. artpiece or legitimate, its super creepy/interesting and has a real Deus ex vibe to it. Heres a link to it. browse at your own risk, but i think its safe(?)

It's in Japanese...you can find some of it archived (for now), but then you'd have to translate it on top of that. I need to learn Japanese.

It seemed like a live chat thingy, I don't know if it was structured around specific topics or what.

Anyway, when I do view the archived version, I see someting that was from the 90's, so I get that melancholic nostaligic whatever you wanna call it feeling.
