3. We call it WeaponBnB. Most weapons lay idle when enthusiasts aren’t using them. Pistols, rifles, bows, katanas, etc. That’s the opportunity.

6. Weird Browsers

   My 1995 self would be very interested to find that that my browser no longer has a stop button, or any other navigation buttons. And that it uses a weird form of MDI, like tabs in an application’s preferences.

   My 1995 self would probably be pretty confused that I consider my bookmarks menu to be a vestigial feature that hasn’t been cleared of the software’s defaults or populated with any categorized reference material. And that a download manager is built in, and not shameful browser side-ware. And that, still, nobody cares about anything similar to VRML.

   My 1995 self would probably not understand at all that my browser has a default deny policy for all plugins and javascript. And that it hides comments on any page from other “netizens” besides the author. And that it has a huge button that hides all the pictures and videos and ads and style and just shows the text in a suck.com style readable format. And that it has two export buttons that save the text off-web somewhere because things on the web disappear or are hard to find. And that I don’t hide ads because I understand that adults need to be paid for their work.

   القنبلة الخط العربي

   First القنبلة الخط العربي came for the ycombinators,
   and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a ycombinator.

   Then القنبلة الخط العربي came for the iOS6-havers,
   and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a iOS6 haver.

   Then القنبلة الخط العربي came for the IRC topics,
   and I didn’t speak out because I was a weechat user.

   Then القنبلة الخط العربي came for me when I tried to put (╯° °）╯︵ in front of القنبلة الخط العربي in the topic to make it even funnier,
   and there was no terminal left to speak for me.

    Here’s some fresh hell from 1997 - the “Kids Guide to the Internet”

    pan pipes

    In 1997, “don’t go to whitehouse.com” was something an adult gave top priority in a script because there was pornography on the internet.

    Also: the kids without the net at home are wearing prison stripes.

    Also-also: the lit lamp is casting a shadow on the wall right next to it.
