Remember the striper versions on porn sites?
I never understood who the market was. Like why would you want a little stripper clippy/bonzo buddy assistant?
The same people who wanted a loud 3D envelope telling them they received an email.

That's about how old I am, yeah.
I still hear the modulated voice in my head
They should bring this back with chat GPT integrated

They were on peak 10 years ago. Bar is not too high imho
I was already old when those were new.
I, too, miss the days of ASCII art.
The sad thing is this ain't that old.
You think you're old, but are you creepy-ass CGI dancing baby old?
I'm even older. I was around to see the very first internet viral meme. That CGI dancing baby. I saw it even before it was featured on Ally McBeal, thus also starting the tradition of killing a viral meme when it hit mainstream.
And who could forget
wololo
I was there when All Your Base was created, 3000 years ago...
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Viral memes on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched CGI babies dance in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.

Shouldn't you be getting to bed, grandpa?
Can't, gotta fix these network servers.
Older. I'm old enough to remember the cutting edge upgrade to the 36k modem.
I've sent emails over a 1200 baud modem line.
That's 1.2k. You could literally see each character appear one by one on the screen.

People would use these templates to create meandering comic style blog posts and present them as memes. It seems like they were the first generation of memes that went fully mainstream and imo were very bad because people could not help but make the comics very long and boring.

I member when memes were called taglines and we distributed text files of them on FidoNet.
I grew up around the mlg meme era
