Those of us who remember the tale of the land line telephone....

"Maaaaa, get off the phone, I'm trying to get online!"

Ooh, remember the cordless landline phones? I'd always see how far from home I could walk before they'd cut out

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Oh, I was never that curious.

Trying to play red alert or age of empires and having to fill in a box for baud rate, but I have no idea what baud rate fucking is. Now we need to make another phone call and start the whole process over again.

My first telephone was a rotary. More than once I didn't call pizza Hut because it had 3 0's at the end.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Lmao. I remember a rotary but I was too young to be calling anyone.

I can still recite the home phone number I had from 10-20yo.

My childhood home phone number is more burned into my memory than my current phone number.
