I still have the html files for my first geocities site. It was a Commander Keen fansite with info that was already on every other fansite. But it was mine! And I used marquee tags and background midi files and gifs whenever I wanted to, and WordArt for the page headings.

Even then I was late to the party. My the time I joined, geocities was part of Yahoo. I remember when the URLs used to be cities and neighbourhoods.

Also, Onchat.com.

Does this count as !bonehurtingjuice@lemmy.ca

My apologies.

The best was on the old T9s where you’d try to type mum, but its first choice would be nun.

Mine didn’t. We did Buddy, The Crucible, Animal Farm and Shakespeare from what I remember. First I heard of the Odyssey was when I was 19 and DW did a retelling of it on Arthur. When I saw a copy of the story in the shop I worked at, I got it so I could read the actual story.

Can a catapult launch a 90kg projectile over 300m? No, didn’t think so.

I used to in a previous job. They brought in a thing where if your birthday fell on your usual shift day, you got it off at full pay.

That’s really great to hear!

Awesome! Did it do what it said on the tin? Did you make the mental shift so that you didn’t want to smoke after? Or do you ever feel tempted?

You might try Allen Carr’s easyway book, it’s meant to make you give up in a way that you don’t even want to smoke anymore, rather than fighting the urge. I’m a non smoker so I can’t give my personal experience on it. But it was recommended by some former smokers on the ukcasual community. I bought a used copy for a colleague, but I don’t work there anymore, so I’ll try to catch up with him sometime and find out how he went with it. I’m currently reading Carr’s other book, The Nicotine Conspiracy, and I’m finding it very interesting. (I have an ebook copy of his easyway book if you want it).

That’s okay. The GF actually stands for gayfriend.

Microwave for water?! I am going to spontaneously combust with rage, and you can use the heat to boil the water for your tea properly! 😡🥵🔥☕👍🏽 🇬🇧

It’s obvious. A sealion in a hat!

(I hope at least one person gets the reference)

It’s not even innuendo, it’s just overt! “That’s what s/he said” comes up every five minutes!

Yep. Just watch any of Thunderfoot’s musk videos and you’ll see that clip featured at least once.

My therapist actually has blue hair though…

Well, I mean, I didn’t do it on purpose. I prefer to go somewhere private if I need a good cry, but when that’s not an option, if I gotta let it out, I’m gonna let it out. I care less about strangers seeing me cry than people I know.

My android 6 tablet and my android 13 phone both do it when I have earphones in.
