Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

First video card upgrade was a 3dfx voodoo 2
First computer only had a teletype, no screen. Oh and paper tape memory.
I still shoot film and I still have a record player.
First smart phone was an iPhone 5S.
Guess my age?
I started using computers on windows 10 (I am now a proud Kubuntu user)
I'm almost a full year older than the NES, but almost a year younger than the Famicom.
I remember watching the Berlin Wall coming down on the news. I don't remember the Challenger explosion (edit: though I was alive for it, to be clear). I was out on my own during 9/11, worried as hell about being drafted. Whether or not I am gen-x depends upon which of the dates for its end you choose.
My first 7" single was Slade-Far far away
You could only get B&W Tvs at the store.
I saw this on Tumblr and thought of this thread. 😃
My childhood is having Carameldansen be a popular meme, and then having that promptly taken away.
EDIT: I also witnessed the birth and the death of "Vine".
I knew about Warren Robinnet before Ready Player One
I owned computers before this, but I remember buying my first PC, a 286, at a flea market for $20 with a coffee can full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.
Vic-20, Atari 600 XL, zx-81.
