Let me be the one to tell you not to look up tubgirl or meatspin. The turn-of-the millennium internet was a dirty place.
When you know how old someone is by the fact they don't know any of those things.
too true and for some reason there was a rule like the worse the content the faster it would download/torrent/kazaa/limewire/etc lol
make lemon parties great again
You get kind of immune to it eventually. At this point I don't even get fazed by goatse, if anything I'm more impressed by just how far that guy managed to stretch.
i never seen it but now inferred enough to know I don't want to
what's the learning curve of a GenZer? When boomer says don't look this up on the internet, it's not because they want the information for themselves. It's because they already have something burned into the memories, and are hoping to save you from the same.
It's human nature to be curious and nothing to be ashamed of. And if someone really doesn't want you looking into something, they won't even mention it.
Which is why the story of the Apple is so bizarre.
Doesn't look good does it?
...and THAT'S how easy to scam someone.
Oh you sweet summer child.
