“You’re gonna finish loading the image, right?”
I’ve been loading this for an hour and I think it just drew another line of data. I’ll keep it on for another 12 hours to see how much I can get.
I’m so excited
“mom, no! don’t pick up the phone!”
Now I have to restart the download again … lol … it was hair pulling fun when this happened to a 50MB update download that took 8 hours to complete, only to get messed up when someone decided to make a phone call at 3am.
It’s worth the wait
I put a piece of paper up to the screen to line up to the last line of the image and I think it just moved
Kids these days will never appreciate the struggles our generation had rubbing one out to dial up porn.
Watching an image load line by line or watching an image change from a blurred pixel art to higher res as more pixels loaded…
Videos? Not a thing. Realplayer was simply awful bloatware even if it was revolutionary for its time.
Poor IE. Can’t even rest in piece.
I hate to admit it but for a few seconds I was wondering why the meme wouldn’t load
I just saw this meme for the third time, and finally got it
Wrong icon for dial up internet explorer.
You’ll want one of the upper row icons for dial up internet explorer.
You can use dial up with any of those explorers…
While true that you can use dial up internet even on modern browsers, it fell out of use pretty much everywhere by the mid 2000s. DSL and cable became pretty ubiquitous.
I can see it could feel that way in some areas. I’m a Canadian, so we didn’t even start to address the digital divide until 2019.
I thought high speed was ubiquitous in the late 00’s, then I moved to a province when it was very limited.
1/3 of the world still has no fixed internet access, let alone broadband access
This is a confused soul. One of those icons isn’t even Explorer.
They are all internet explorer or variants of it. The internet was what the icon was labeled for the first few versions. The last icon is for edge i believe.
Here is the meme with the correct icon
I remember when IE 4 switched to the e icon. I thought it was so much cooler looking with the blue gradients.
I don’t know about you, but I had the Netscape Navigator icon.
So the last icon implies “it flushes you through the web, if you want or not”?
this meme will load eventually right? … right?
mom picks up the phone
Yeah, just give it time.
Why isn’t it loading? All I can see is:
Really? This is what I see:
Good fucking dammit
Godammit!
Most Lemmy users are not old enough to understand this
You had me in the first part.
“rip dial up users”
You got me
?? that’s weird … I kept trying to link to the image to make it appear in the comments and it doesn’t work ??
Usually, I just download the image I generated on Imgflip … then reupload it to Lemmy … linking to images, I’m reminded is a pain because you never who allows what to be linked and in what way so you never know how it will appear … but downloading the image and then reuploading to Lemmy usually works.
