kid on the right spent is junior and senior year of high school sitting at home on a zoom call surrounded by positive reinforcement for degeneracy and self destruction.
the cause is you failing to do the math to realize the 20-something year olds at the gym you larp in were born in 2000 and pretending they're all femboys and numales is the only way you can feel any kind of validation in your worthless life

I miss browsing the web in late 90s and early 2000s. IST is the only website that stays true to old internet.
I won't share my site here for reasons I don't wanna go in to, but basically I just have a comfy site that looks like it's from the 90s (to some extent). I just kinda put some pictures I made, links to cool shit, random thoughts, whatever. I also wrote some how-to articles that I hope at least a few people found useful.
It's not hard to do, it's comfy, and it makes the Web a little comfier too. You could use it for something else but this is what I use it for.

Still, March 2008 to December 31st 2010 were the happiest times in my life and the best years for the internet, at least for me. Youtube was still fresh, the internet was still in a good growth spot, everything wasn't oversaturated, people had more creativity, more effort was put into things like video games, animations, hentai, technology, etc. Now we've reached a point of stagnation where people only try to make things "good enough". No one ever goes above and beyond anymore, and I hate it. I remember back in 2008 when I used to watch realistic 3d physics animations on Youtube and think to myself "I can't wait for the technology to be good enough to where these super realistic physics and graphics can be used in a game". And now it's 14 years later, and there hasn't even been an attempt to do such a thing, even though it's possible, because, again, people only care about making something be "good enough", instead of making it the best it can possibly be. It's just sad, bros...
>stays true
IST is nothing but a hollow imitation of its old self and the internet as a whole back then. There is far less trust and far more disinformation being exploited now that people and corporations have realized how to fully exploit the niche of the fragility of information, and it has warped every single medium
>Born in 92 >childhood in lato '90 was a blast >world started going to shit aroud 2006 >now i just want Putin to peel the nuclear banana and end it all
Why all the doom and gloom, i was borne in '95.
Life nowadays is pretty good, and be real with yourself: when we look back to our 16-22 we were unironically clinically moronic and deranged at the same time. Zoomers to me seem pretty well grounded.
Everybody is an idiot at some point, but the difference is that back then it wasn't acceptable to be moronic, whereas now society promotes delusion and mental illness.
Participation awards
A culture of acceptance rather than judgement
Making beating homosexuals and trannies a """""hate crime""""" rather than a public service
Not enough bullying
Picture is unironically true.
I have 2 zoomers at work, one is born in 1999 who I consider a close friend, and one born in 2000.
The one born in 1999 acts and speaks like I do (I'm 30), the one born in 2000 talks to me and it feels like there is a generation gap between us like between me and my grandfather.
It's worse if you're not a smartphone user. I credit IST with keeping me fluent enough to converse with transhumans, but daily living is getting increasingly challenging in a world that expects me to carry a cattle monitoring device in my pocket at all times.
The internet has literally ruined everything.
Born in 93, life was good until the weird transitional phase in 2017-18.
now everyone and everything is online and sucks
There are two major inventions which frick civilisation.
The first is the Internet. The Internet itself isn't inherently a bad idea. The issue is how its used and how it gives instant gratification.
The second is the release of the smart phone in 2007. The instant 24/7 access to the Internet and all its evils has created a society that doesn't bring the world together as intended but creates little bubbles for people to seek out and stay in.
>muh microplastics
You morons do realize that shit was way worse 50 years ago when everything was unregulated, and companies could cut far more corners? There are generations of kids that grew up licking lead paint. Holy frick you people are dumb.
The internet is evil. I’m technically a zoomer by two months but I feel like I have nothing in common at all with them. Social media and smart phones have literally rotted their minds. Not to mention the feminisation of society, the collapse of education and culture, the poisoning of all our food and more. The future is bleak.
Parents and culture.
i want to breed left

This, 9/11 was the pearl harbor of the 21st century
Kid on the right was 20 during that zoom call so try again
the y2k glitch maybe?
Tiktok and trannies
both my vices
Lack of physical activity.
YouTube
Eh, should change the numbers to 1990 and 91 or something.

>Born in 89
>Got to experience the 90’s full of life and hope
>Also get to experience how everything went down the drain since 2001

Get real and bring the nuclear annihilation of the world by yourself.

you should make a Neocities page. It's fun.
Too bad you didn't die already. I'm sorry you had to witness the modern world bro
What do you use Neocoties for? Like I know it's web hosting, but what specifically?

Honestly the only reason I go to fanfiction dot net is because it's a nostalgic website even thought I've outgrown those hobbies since the mid 2000s
even IST has been on a downward spiral since 2013. Gamergate, Trump and Hiro ruined everything.

Whatever gay, zoomies are the most polarized generation in decades which makes them based. The more extreme the better.
This unironically. Anytime you see anything about pushing inclusivity, more than 2 genders, hormone therapy, etc there is always a common denominator.
Cool it with the antisemitism.
I'm not antisemitic. I'm just a guy with pattern recognition.

No.

The plastic behaves like a SERM such as nolvadex or clomid.

Unironically modern homosexualry being paraded on social media as well as tech devices, meaning mobile phones from a young age and shit
I want to rape right

More society. More gay. This has been solved. And it was easy.

Yes, if you haven't went all in on the panopticon shit then you'll find it very difficult to relate to these people
