I think the use of this meme format already counts as one
AT OK ATDT 555-1013 DIALING CONNECT 14400
Crap, this is not the BBS I wanted to call… welp, might as well put something on the wall.
Greetings to the older folk on Lemmy!! :-)
Fourteen forty? You ballin! My 4800 baud ain’t got shit on you!
(I can still hear the different connection handshakes)
Maybe just as a flex, most times I tried connecting at 14400 it’d drop the call. Probably that’s why I don’t go for the greatest and latest tech purchases since then
Huh… TIL it was cooking itself lol
30 years late info
I still have a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 here. Aluminum case and all. It’s a work of art.
A useless work of art. But still…
I had to get rid of my US Robotics (freshly rebranded from… I can’t remember?) 56k when I moved last time. Part of my soul was left with that modem.
This modem:
My 56k modem was internal, so not much to look at.
But the Hayes…
You mean dubstep progenitors?
When you had some hella good shareware to download, it was always such a letdown to hear the scratchy line downshift to a lower speed trying to find a stable connection.
Hey, I played Last Call BBS, I get this reference!

Thank you, kind stranger. My mom gave it me 3 years ago.

Badger badger badger mushroom mushroom
African snaaaaake
I always thought it was “and here comes snake” lol
According to someone in the internet here are the full lyrics:
Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger; mushroom mushroom; Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, mushroom, mushroom! A badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger; mushroom mushroom; A badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, African snake! Snake! Snake! Oooh, it’s a snake! Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger; mushroom mushroom
Hello?
Snape, Snape, Severus Snape.
DUMBLEDORE!
Well, here we go again! The internet was supposed to be freedom, but now it’s just a playground for Big Brother and corporate greed. Y’all see this Y2K “bug”? IT’S NOT A BUG, it’s a SCAM to reset everything and put us under CONTROL! Bill Gates, Al Gore, ALL of ‘em are in on it. Soon, you won’t be able to load a page without the Feds watching you.
Wake UP, people! You think AOL and Micro$oft care about “innovation”? LOL. It’s all about taking over! AOL’s already bought up Netscape! What’s next, paying to send an email? Think your ICQ is private? LOL, it’s government spyware!
And don’t get me started on the mods here. I see you silencing REAL posts about how the UN is behind all this. Keep banning me, I’ll be back! They wanna control speech before the big RESET. Mark my words, the internet will be a corporate mall by 2005, and y’all will pay just to read THIS.
P.S. If this post vanishes, you know why. I SEE YOU, MODS!
The irony with this is that they weren’t entirely wrong. The internet is now a corporate mall. Welcome to Web 2.0 baby!
