We also got to see the rise of the Internet and the home computer revolution, as well as smartphones later on. We are the last ones to know what the world was like before all that. When you had to bike your ass to the local library just to look up a cake recipe, and "please allow six weeks for delivery" was the standard.

Anyway, does anyone wanna play Pogs? I got some cool new slammers here...

Go back just a bit further to the days of AltaVista and I'm good. When it was still possible to store an entire website's markup and its images on one floppy disk. When people were running servers out of their basement and jumpstarting the early web.

Edit: The Fediverse certainly has that 1996 "wild west" feel to it though, I gotta say. We're just missing webrings and ugly-ass tiled backgrounds.
