Companies had copystriked all the arts and knowledge to hoard it into their now dead servers to get profit from subscription services only, so the only peak at humanity now are blogs, memes, and random posts.
Well after so long there’s nothing left of the fragile silicon storage mediums, so as far as we can tell civilization basically ended in the late 90s as everyone moved to the mysterious “.com” which we assume to be a euphemism for death.
Hmm, wouldn’t that go for a lot of the digital mediums of the 90’s, too? Magnetic drives and tapes were the big deal back then just as now.
And also we have print magazines and books which absolutely talk about the Internet. And tape storage, etc.
Do tapes last longer than (unused) hard drives? I figured it’s the same medium in a different shape.
Paper can rot away too, although it varies in stability and it can sometimes be read anyway (like with the Herculaneum scrolls) because it’s so low-density it acts as a form or redundancy. Optical disks will last a long time, and you can get archival ones that should still be like new after millennia.
Tape storage lasts almost indefinitely if stored properly.
“the dotcom crash is when the proto-humans lost all their money and regions that they called ‘countries’ devolved into chaos”
It’ll be remembered a dark age when the lights go out and all the disks rot. And, if I know archaeologists, they’ll call our data centers ritual centers or temples.
Otherwise there will be disbelief at the inexplicably sophisticated engineering, and how we could have achieved it all with no written records. Probably it was all just ancient aliens.
and how we could have achieved it all with no written records.
Our religion prevented using doc strings or code comments of any kind. What little software we had that actually worked correctly probably was aliens, come to think of it…
We rented our technology and could not read nor write.
You sure like watching other people fuck.
Let’s be real, if they’re still substantially human they do too.
I suppose it’s possible we go back to no privacy and brothels everywhere, so they’re wondering why we liked recordings of it so much.
They’ll be just like “haha wow they just stared at a screen with a video of people fucking. That’s so primitive. I’m glad I was born in a time where the AI/VR Sensory Deprivation Orgasmotron Chamber exists! I can’t imagine having to pull on my dick with my hand like that anytime I want to nut. That sounds like so much work!”

It feels a bit suspect to conveniently cut ourselves out of that period.
lol, as if the internet would survive long enough to be studied archeologically. most digital media lasts 10 years, 20 tops. future archeologists will get whatever was worth laser-etching into a sapphire disc and they’ll just have to live with that.
We really like porn. It doesn’t how freaky the porn is, we all love it.
Pregnant Sonic banging Tails. Porn. Morticia going down on Cousin It. Porn. A step-sibling getting stuck. Porn.
They’ll think our entire civilisation was based around burying plastic bags.
they wouldn’t be wrong
“not surprised they all died shortly after this”
Here’s a few pictures I’ve saved in the last couple years. I think it gives a pretty good idea, but you tell me
