The ole Rotten

This meme is true--those who grew up in the 1990s will recall Rotten.com .. the website grew in popularity fast back when the entire web was the dark web--and on the heels of the Faces of Death video that kids in the 80s that was real (well that one bit in the movie was..)

While you may not have surveyed the content on a regular basis on Rotten back in the day, it was one of the most popular 'underground' sites of the early internet.. One video that sticks out was the Bud Dwyer suicide video--he was a legislator from Pennsylvania and while under investigation, called a news conference in which he shot himself at the end. On live TV.

While the content of Rotten was, well, rotten, there was something to be said for early pioneers online who did not allow a regulated internet to stop their creative HTMLing..

For better or worse, the TMNT meme of people gathering around an old computer to see Rotten.com was just about true...

All in all, it was a crude and gross site. But at that time, things like this happened. It is tough to explain that to the current internet crowd that is cloaked in social media terms of services..

Warning (if you still use Twitter):

You know how Elon Musk has destroyed Twitter’s moderation team?  And how you might have been like “ugh, more porn... gross” but weren’t too pressed over it? Me too, except that....

I just accidentally clicked on a twitter link someone posted in a forum thread (NOT tumblr) ‘‘about the shooting’‘ and like 3 posts down there was a fucking PICTURE OF THE DEAD VICTIMS RIDDLED WITH BULLETS jesus christ almighty

i don’t know how to erase that shit from my brain - holy fuck. please don’t use Twitter right now.

How do you feel about married men?

The same way I feel about single men, unless you want your wife to join 🩷😋

I have a theory that the demise of Flash and thereby most browser games helped herald in the rise of the most harmful and vapid social media thereby building on the End Times we are currently enjoying. Is there anywhere on the internet now you can just spend a while without having to engage in one way or another? Dressing a doll or shooting a zombie or whatever was just a fun little break, now what do people have for their breaks? Insane 14 year olds on tiltok? The pressures and empty consumerism of insta?
