the lawless years of the internet were beautiful, i experienced most of them when i was a child, and i turned out normal (that’s a lie, of course, i’m unsure how watching happy tree friends or one man one jar at 12 years old fucked me up, but i’m sure it did, somehow)

IndiBrony@lemmy.world 1 day agoThese days? Mah boi, back in my day you’d very easily end up accidentally watching something horribly illegal just seconds before your computer is bricked by a Trojan.
Sometimes, you weren’t even looking for porn!

I think there’s an entire generation of us that thinks tubgirl, goatse (I remember reading the guy’s story, or at least someone pretending to be that guy and writing the story), beheadings, and hatchet vs. genitals are completely normal experiences. Who didn’t watch all those, right?

Seeing tubgirl, goatse, and meatspin put a temper on my curiosity to the point that I can say I’ve never seen two girls one cup, even though I think it was the most “popular” out of all of those except maybe goatse. Hearing the description was enough to sate any curiosity.
I also know that Rick rolls are wholesome because it replaced surprise links to those. Plus Rick Astley is a genuine treasure and I’m glad becoming a meme didn’t end up hurting him.

I remember the first porn site I ever went on.
It was whitehouse.com and I was looking for Whitehouse.gov.
It was in the school library too. On a beige crt monitor!
Life was simpler back then.

I remember back in 1998 in my Desktop Publishing class, a girl wanted to sign up for an email address. I told her to go to hotmail.com to create one. She typed in hotmale.com and got a whole different kind of website than she was expecting.

I think I was looking into renfair type stuff once and told my friend to go to chainmaile.com “that’s with an ‘e’”. He did not go to the right website.
