I was exactly the right age at exactly the right transitional period in history to have been an unsupervised preteen on dial-up BBSes, Usenet, IRC, and first-generation web forums, more or less in that order, so all things considered I think I'm doing pretty well.

I had an email address before they had @ symbols in them.

What the hell does an email address without @ look like??

prokopetz

Depends on the platform, but the most common pre-@ variant used exclamation points rather than @ symbols, and also had the host and the recipient the other way 'round – for example, instead of "person@host", it would go "host!person". Since there was no universal Internet routing system back then, you'd often need to specify the full route to the recipient manually, resulting in addresses like "host1!host2!host3!person". Email addressing of this type was known as a "bang path", after the typesetters' slang of "bang" for an exclamation point.

(Fun trivia: since email addresses of this type were often used in university settings, the part before the exclamation point would most commonly be the name of a department, which often looked a bit like an adjective. This quirk of bang path routing has been fossilised in fandom culture in the practice of using "adjective!character" shorthand to describe AU versions of a particular character.)

oh…….i had a dream that a religious cult had taken over the city and was hunting me, but I had a little dog I found in the trash named BATHMAT and he looked like a USED MOP and I miss him so much. I want to go back to sleep

pangur-and-grim

when I was a kid I read a sci-fi story where some researcher discovers that all crocodiles since prehistory have had the same congenital heart defect, so they set about curing it. when they do, suddenly their research specimen starts getting stronger and healthier and growing rapidly and developing new appendages, and it turns out all crocodilians were actually stunted sickly forms of dragons. that story really stuck with me because it's basically an expression of the "what if I went to the doctor and they discovered I was deficient in one special vitamin and then I took a pill and all my problems and ailments vanished immediately" fantasy.

unrelated, I started taking daily antihistamines this month for the first time in my life,
