Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Zoomers will never know the annoyance of spending several minutes downloading a playboy photo only to find it won't display because the first version of Mosaic didn't do JPEGs, leading to a futile quest to find some free software to view JPEGs that worked on Windows 3.1.
Zoomers will never know about having to go to the library to get another 30 day AOL trial CD so you never have to actually pay for dial up.
I for one am thankful that zoomers are spared the horrors of Windows 3x
Zoomers will never know how weird physical playboy magazines smelled
There was a popular image viewer at the time, I was thinking it was IrfanView, but apparently that didn’t exist until 1996 (and still gets updated!).
