A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling 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 !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
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 info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

i can still literally smell and remember the atmosphere in those IT classes:
PCs takes 10 mins to boot sometimes 30 mins. By the time it boots, we are out of time and cant play any games. Yes we are allowed the last 10 mins of class to play games.
Remember DAVE the game?
Keyboards are very satisfying to type on. Mouse is a hit n miss because they have those ball thing to control the direction. I.e. sometimes the ball gets stuck and you cannot click or scroll.
A bunch of geeks try to send message using net send command. We thought we are the gangsters.
Nothing worse than having an IT class after lunch, you have like 50 kids and 25 pcs and there are NO A.C. The only thing you have is the ceiling fan.
I was such a nerd that I had a second mouse ball that soaked in a cup of rubbing alcohol and I'd swap them out before Quake matches.
Oh and the BO smell from lan parties, worse than a locker room.
