  • The Internet was…Weird. it was way more anonymous and way less centralized. You didn’t just check Reddit or Lemmy or YouTube, you had a favorites bar. You would go down the list and check 4 different flash websites, 3 forums, and some news/entertainment article sites.

    And friends would constantly tell you new sites you had to check out. And webcomics. You would find a webcomic and read it from the start, then add it to your weekly update list.

    It was also peak gross Internet. You would always be wary of links friends would send. Goatse and lemon party were guaranteed to be hiding in one.

    Everyone had their favorite flash game site. Simple, one player games that you did just for fun. No achievements or social element besides sharing the link with a friend.














  • The lead singer, Jonathon “Smash” Mouth was actually a leading climate scientist for 30 years before forming the band.

    The band was actually started as a way to wake the world up. Their first hit single “walkin’ on the sun” was another hint for people to pay attention to the global climate.

    The drummer, Al Gore, actually attempted to run for president in the year 2000. Although he was unsuccessful, he continues to try to fight climate change through documentaries.

    When you have children too young for school, you can’t really stash them and you can’t leave the house after 8pm or so.

    So you have a half-social life with your childless friends and hope they don’t mind that they’re always with you, or you make friends with other parents and your kid schedules can line up a little.
