Never saw Lawnmower Man - was too young when it came out - but wow it looks pretty insane. I saw a clip last night as part of a Rifftrax 90's Internet thing (that also included 4-5 minutes each of Hackers and The Net) and there was a part where his mouth turns into a lawnmower which he uses to eat a brain, and it's all done in glorious early cartoony CGI. Also I LOL'd when the riffers said it looked like he was being sucked into a Trapper Keeper.

i totally forgot what the internet used to be like. wasn't much on the web so most time was spent on IRC, messageboards, and usenet. i feel like the internet now is turning my brain into mush and making me into even more of a dumbass. reddit, gawker, huffington post, buzzfeed, it's all so fucking stupid, yet seems totally normal now. i think i need to take an internet hiatus so my brain can recover.

I had a diaryland. Before Myspace/LJ/Pitas. Remember that community fondly

pitas and diaryland launched very close to one another. by the same guy!

winner if he made ANY money from that, hope so
― rip van wanko, Saturday, 2 June 2018 22:42 (six years ago) link
*wonder
he didn’t and the kickstarter to relaunch pitas just failed. he’s doing other stuff though. he was also one of my favorite comedic writers on the old school internet

the other day for some reason i really wanted to see nice images of all the toys and vehicles from the mid-1980s care bear line (the small action figure size). did some googling for a few minutes, confident i would quickly find some collector nut's exhaustive resource dedicated to these toys, the different years of the line, how there's a rare version of this one guy with blue hair by mistake, maybe scans of toys r us newspaper circulars..... nothing! or rather, such pages are obviously out there, but unfindable: page after page of search results is e-shopping, mostly for present-day care bear items. it is so, so much harder these days to find sites that are not in some way selling you something, or robotically generated clones of sites trying to sell you something.

otfm
and, (somewhat related I think), so many image searches lead to just a bunch of Pinterest pages! where, for some reason, it seems difficult to navigate to the image source or even save/share the image

still no closer to the imagined repository. the other problem is countless quick words-for-dollars clickbait articles for websites that need content in order for people to share it on facebook. 14 things only 80s kids remember. 20 things you might be an 80s kid if you remember. 10 toys you had to have in 1985. 5 best toys of the 80s. 11 awesomely cutetastic toys of the 80s. 7 80s shows we loved as kids in the 80s, and the toys we loved that went with them.. products of the 80s flashcards | Quizlet. 9 times the care bears cared about something.
this stuff is like the kudzu of the web. it's filled in every available space and the main things you want to accomplish on the internet are becoming impossible.
