Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I lived on Zip disk for the first half of college. Ended up doing too much video and would rent FireWire HDs from Best Buy for a month at a time. Just broke art school things.

Ahh Firewire. Much as I dislike apple, that was a fantastic name. Who wouldn't want to connect their devices with "firewire", especially at a time when everything in the world of consumer PCs was (even at the time) the source of slowdowns and impatience for anything requiring fast data transfer.
