As I say, it builds character. I pity kids these days living in such a sanitised internet.

I think this was one of the biggest failings of parents in the 90s and 2000s - the internet was so new that they were scared of all the wrong things and didn’t know how to properly protect their kids online.

I’m eternally grateful I never saw some pretty horrific shit online. The worst I saw was porn and some of those jumps are videos and clips from horror movies.

Edit: I should clarify that to some extent I don’t even necessarily blame the parents. How were they supposed to know? Most of them just used the thing for work or to file taxes or look up the news. They weren’t looking in those dark corners or really even aware they existed until they saw their kids looking at it.

I printed out copies of goatse and hid them all over my friend’s room 😅

I was 18 when 4chan started, the unrestricted internet was a wild time as a teenager

LemonParty isn’t one I’ve ever seen but goddamn is it funny as a concept. I’ve actually never heard of “tubgirl”. I’m picturing “2 Girls 1 Cup” in a bathtub and I am NOT here for it lol

Back in the early 90’s there was this website called “Rotten”, there was a lot of fucked up pictures of suicide and and dismemberment.

I visited the site once, I was around 14 at the time…

Back in the early 90s there was no internet in the form we know it. It was in later half of the 90s.

I don’t think so, I looked into it a few months ago when this came up and I think the domain expired a while back.
