    Was it? We used to giggle about "fingering each other" way back in the early 90's, ask the Internet Oracle filthy questions, and compare notes on the Purity Test while we waited for all the uuencoded parts of our dirty pictures to download off the local Usenet server.

      at the time we used to giggle, now we complain about it being obscene.

        I'm not complaining, I want to go back to the internet being a silly place, instead of an increasingly hostile and damaging to mental health (and sometimes lives). BUT that ship has sailed.

    We were harder to get offended, not more innocent.

      You mean "more willing to ostracize and marginalize those who point out obnoxious or harmful behavior", I think. Now everyone who can't read a room has an entire infrastructure helping convince them they're a martyr if someone points out they're acting like an asshole.

  Oh wow, you just got me hooked on a rabbit hole that i can't get out of - but in a good way! :-) I love these sorts of easter egg-like things! I mean, they're not really easter eggs. But this /uses page, the /now pages, the humans.txt file that someone else mentioned (which i also use on my personal website), and other similar "info broadcast" mechanisms are always so much fun...Because they provide a little trail of breadcrumbs of discovery about people in a neat, old school sort of way. I miss the internet/web of old, and this sort of thing brings all that fun back! Thanks for sharing!
