What was pre internet entertainment like?

[guest]

Would you call me a faggot if I told you I'm in my 30s and love to catch lizards?

Brown anoles are best.

No that makes me think you’re really cool.

I like to catch them and get them comfortable enough to not take off immediately when I let go.

They're so cool. Unlike most wildlife and critters, they don't have fur or feathers. They just run around totally nude! Basking shirtless all over the place. I love em!

Watched TV and played sports n geeetar. Then I discovered AOL at 13 and used to flirt with girls all day and night saying the cringiest shit like "hey hottie". From there it was jerkin.

We threw food items at car, lit things on fire, destroyed the local cottage rental park that was closed all summer (kick doors in and party in them and burn mattresses), ding dong ditch, toilet papering houses, stealing neighbors lawn furniture and putting it in their other nrighbors patio, the old change the channel with a universal remote through the windows, etc, i could go on forever. We always kept ourselves entertained.

Speaking of windows. I used be a little Peeping Tom with other neighbor kids. Any window that was peepable, we'd peep. I'd watch people just eat dinner and watch TV.

Little fucking psycho.

We did the same. It was a rush sneaking around peoples properties. Jumping in pools was fun. We lived up north where noone owned guns. Where i live now youd have crazy fucks shooting shotguns in the air before you made it half way down their driveway.

Where you hoping they would invite you in and treat you like one of their own kids, that’s quite sad 🥹

Same here with being up north. We knew the only ones with guns were Latin Kings and we knew damn well to stay away from those houses. But everyone else was fair game. Even if you were on the 3rd fucking floor, we'd find ways to peep at you by climbing up trees and shit.

I remember watching some old Central American guy singing and dancing around in his underwear for like 15 minutes until he heard about 4 kids giggling uncontrollably outside his window as we were all on a corner store roof using it as high ground. I remember his shade shutting angrily and a few minutes later hearing the cops heading toward the neighborhood and we all ran off.

Fucking hilarious times man. I really miss pre internet days!

Honestly I think that may have been a reason. We were all latchkey kids with no real family dynamics and probably subconsciously wanted to be brought in.

surprised i haven't seen mention of scrambled porn/boxing/wrestling ppvs. I feel like I was listening when they announced Owen Hart died but I was already online in 1996 'cause I'm old as fuck. my whole childhood was basic cable+HBO, VHS rentals, Atari, Nintendo. I also believe the internet is making people retarded including & especially myself.

By 3rd grade I was full blown addicted to scrambled porn. I remember discussing the channel (channel 61 in my neck of the woods) with other kids in class who knew all about it.

Boxing w “pillow punchers”, which were boxing gloves with cotton in them. It was basically bare knuckle. We did that for a while til someone lost a tooth and our parents got pissed.

Wtf is scrambled porn?

Wtf is scrambled porn?

If you turned your tv to HBO or whatever, the scrambled screen would flash little tiny glimpses of porn that was PPV. It was barely visible.

When I was like 30 & had no enemies at home, some neigborhood kids blew up my dad's mailbox with a cherry bomb or whatever, now that old fuck jumps every time a dog walks by & it shows up on one of the ring cams. For like 3 years straight, I'd be at the shore every night I could get there, & at some point we'd jump a fence to hop in a pool to wash off the sand & ocean water & run off.

Sometimes you'd get the super clear moments.

Shit was designed to do so. Give you a little glimpse so you can be enticed to purchase the channel.
