“This is a collect call from ‘mompracticeisoverpickmeup’ do you accept the charges?”

payphone era texting

[–] kbal@fedia.io 17 points 1 month ago

Those things were great. You could make a phone call from almost anywhere without having to carry around a radio tracking device all the time.

Check in every few hours. Call collect with quick allgoodgoingtoJoes. Then parents decline the collect call.

Reminds me of the commercial, “bobhadababyitsaboy”

When I was a kid, this was my time machine, Dude.

Beepers were all the rage when I was in high school. Beeper goes off, look at the number and decide if you want to call it back. Different codes for different friends. Then scramble to find a payphone if you wanted to call someone back.

Around here we still have them, and they provide free wifi. My home is almost close enough to pick up the signal from one in the main street.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 3 points 1 month ago

They made excellent toilets.

Those were the days

Straight up though the world peaked in the 2007-2010 in terms of culture. Everything has just gotten significantly worse since then and I feel bad for the zoomers and gen alpha who have to grow up in the 2020s
