Hybrid Theory was released 24 years ago.

I was born that year. My friends have kids now.

Wait, so you do or do not remember the excitement of going from 14.4 to 33.6 for dialup?

Not a clue what that even means, although my dad started a phone booth company in 1998 ...

That's a wild time to invest in phone booths!

Real answer is dialup modem speeds. Doubled our download (in my case, from 10 minutes per mb to 5 minutes!)

Oh yes it was, serious financial troubles followed

I remember a Commodore 64 with a 300 baud modem. 1200 was luxury.

Damn. I need a new character. What ancestry/background/class combo is FotM these days?

The last I looked it was white cis het men whinging about being the latest "minority" group, and "alphas". Extra bonus points for being older but with a new account you will be locked out of that (and due to climate change, possibly forever).

Geez, Two-Face really let himself go...

I believe they call that "distinguished" now - as compared to whatever the fuck is going on with Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk who we now are aware can jump a whole entire 3 inches off the ground.

Elon Musk's vertical is horizontal.
