Lol.... That's kinda fun.

 

I found some amazing bagels. They are called "Everything" bagels. I don't know what all goes on them, but they are very tasty.

Everything bagels are fucking awesome.  My favorite type of bagel is chocolate ship though * 7*

That is weird, funny, an clause for a conspiracy! I love it.

no one notices the little things until shit happens

[Malyssa Rahl]

Lol... Johnny Bravo as evidence that folks knew what was going to happen.. That's almost as bad as thinking the Mayan Calendar predicted the end of the world instead of the end of their calendar cycle.

Because despite thinking that the past is archaic and irrelevant, society believes that everybody in the past who was ever the least bit significant could perform physics defying feats and had access to hidden magic tomes that foretold the future with 100% accuracy. Tomes that we've since forgotten in our seemingly advanced yet backward society. Because the present's always shit, the future's always foggy, and the past is always mystical.

Science fiction authors have been able to predict the future sometimes.

 

Stanislaw Lem's "Return from the stars" predicted the coming of the tablet and Kindle. (Electronic reading devices with touch screens)  George Orwell's "1984" predicted the coming of electronic surveillance. Mark Twain predicted the coming of the internet. (Though his version used phones instead of computers)  Aurthur C Clark "2001 a space odyssey" predicted online newspapers. Edward Bellamy "Looking backward" Credit cards.

Internet through the phone is a pretty entertaining thought, not gonna lie.

My smartphone's internet capability is off 99% of the time to save battery. I turn it on when I want it which is almost never since that enables ads to pop up when I play my 100% local games .

I use the internet on my phone a lot. If I didn't, I'd go for a cheaper data plan.

If you have an Android device, you can root it and install some type of ad-blocker. It's worth it when you need the screen real estate in a game.

[Dae314]

But rooting it at this point requires me to wipe the phone >.>''' I was originally gonna root it, but then I forgot and put on most of my data before I remembered then said screw it. Plus ad blockers don't save my battery.

I put my old phone on airplane mode and use it as an MP3 player.

[Pinkie Pie]

I was talking about it being through an actual telephone.  An analog phone like what was about in Mark Twain's day lol.

I use the internet on my smart phone all the time tbh.

[Dae314]

You mean old dial-up stuff? Did you know that it literally used to be that you had to phone into a server, and the server would send out little sounds over the phone line that could be interpreted by early modems? The modem would communicate with the server in the same way ^^.

I think Mark Twain's version would have been like... You call up Wikipedia, and it tells you stuff.

[† Emotional Outlet]

Call up Tumblr and it's just the sound of people crying over fictional characters. You can make out random words like, "OTP" and "canon" and "Jensen Ackles".

funny pictures,

How... delightful.

 

I'm going to remove the comic because that's really pushing the PG-13 rating of the forum (to say nothing of how it depicts women). I don't know how I feel about the Family Guy GIF, but it'll stay up for now.

[Malyssa Rahl]

That's... different...
