Summary
Whips the llamas ass !!!
Haha - yes. Now to fire up Limewire and download some songs!
(I am too young for this. Please don’t hate me)
No hate. You just missed the glory days of computing. Back when we all first started “surfing” the “information super highway”.
I’d forgotten HotBot!
(printouts dated two years after I built my first website. Man was that thing a hot mess.)
We did not have a computer at that point, unless you count Mum’s commodore64 monitor which we used as a TV (if I understood her correctly.) That’s right, we were using a monitor as a TV before it was cool.
No Northern Lights? throws desk
Unless that was slightly after 98…
We used a TV as a monitor at one point early on, but the text resolution was poor.
Actually, come to think of it, I used a surplus medical monitor for my first TV on my own. It was black and white…
I love that they described Wiki-crawling in 1998, and confirmed that it’s perfectly natural but likely non-relevant and disturbing 
My favorite part:
Who knew that we’d spend so many hours of our lives just browsing random stuff on the internet??
TW infertility for joke at the end, but the rest is funny and I’m guessing relatable.
- Did you just look at the clock thinking it was 3 p.m. to discover it’s only 9:40 a.m.?
Hahah oh my. Up since 4:45am here. On the positive side, sunrise was nice?
I saw a thread on a local facebook group about how school starting at 7:45AM is just too early because it’s difficult to get kids moving that early in the day.
Then there’s me and my kid, where he’s usually done eating breakfast by 6AM and sometimes I drop him off at 7:10 by accident (the earliest we’re supposed to drop off kids is 7:15). Or the time he was already dressed and had shoes on but I reminded him that he wanted to draw a card for his teacher because that’s a good way to kill a few minutes.
I think a lot of that discussion is about MS and HS students, since circadian rhythms are known to shift around age 11 or puberty.
That said, one of my sisters was a night owl since always (mom thanked lucky stars for pm kindergarten) and the other would get up at 5am to finish hw in high school, instead of staying up like the rest of us.
Probably needs to be more diversity of options for everyone!
My son was the kid stone cold asleep and being shaken awake held up against the wall outside his kindergarten and first grade classroom in the winter because it was still dark for another hour 
Thankfully high school here starts after 8:30 am so at least the sky is light even if the sun isn’t completely up yet
He would not have been a good early school year fit for Scandinavia
I was an insane early bird when young, and I’m insane early bird now, but I STRUGGLED with my 7:30 class in high school. Developmental changes during puberty are NO JOKE.
