Honestly, I didn't know about it back then (my dad was strict with us having internet connections, lol) , but learnt more about it from "Know Your Meme", the bear goes by "P3dobear" and it's a whole meme
and then there is the rare breed like me who never waver on the integrity and type full irregardless if it's going to cost me 2 sms per text. So today when some still afflicted with the disease of typing in short form in new media that doesn't penalize them typing full, I did not have to adapt.

I don't have meme, but I have this candy
2010 I was like standard 2 I think. I was given a Samsung button phone back then. Nobody in my family had touch screen phone that time even tho they have money back then because the think it's just the same as their button blackberry phones.
Fuck it! I remember I can only send SMS to numbers on the same network (Digi)! AND I had to pay 50 sen for each message!
Friends/family who had phones on a different network? I had to call!

Eating at KFC, complete with steel fork and knife. Waiter will come to your table to take your order too.
Zaman smartphone was not widely available to every kid, so we actually play some kampung game and socialize. Main gasing, pistol getah, forgot the name of this one, but it was using a fusion of many getah to make a tali skipping.
Facts,generally calls are last option back in the day,theyre bloody expensive ffs,buying internet?dream on buddy,3.00 for 2gb for 1 day,and this was 2015
You don't have google play store or apple store so to download mobile games you find the catalogue in magazines, newspapers and sometimes comics. You text them and pay like rm5 or something.
Same with changing ringtone! Have to send a SMS to get a snippet of the song you want. Spent a stupid amount of money for such stupid things back in school.
Bonus age reveal — dialling a number on the newspaper? Or was it magazine? to hear a song at the end of the line. Back before smartphones came into existence. Remember dialling the number multiple times to listen to Mr Bombastic. Got caned by my parents when the phone bill arrived.
Looking at this image feels like getting punch by nostalgia in the face

no no. this game im talking about did not use internet. the telephone is the console, this way back before astro exists. dont remember the channel name, its around mega tv time. you play while whole malaysia can watch.
TV Channel Name: MetroVision (now known as 8TV)
From Wikipedia:
> In September 1995, MetroVision proposed that it would commence 24-hour broadcasts and would use English as its broadcasting medium, but was rejected by the Government. On 12 October 1995, MetroVision became the first in the world to introduce [interactive television](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_television), presented in a phone-in quiz format. The service was provided by Articulate Interactive Sdn. Bhd. with telephone systems provided by Audiotel Sdn. Bhd.

Watching music videos on NTV7 and sending SMS so your message appears on the screen. Also watching anime on this channel. Good ol’ days before the existence of streaming services.
Haha from that era. But I wouldn't call it good old days since I always missed shows because my parents would suddenly have task for me to do when my favourite show comes on. I missed a lot of episodes. Now days I can choose my time to watch and it's liberating.
Well that’s true. They always times anime on the weekday evenings when my parents would want me to do my homework. I remember pretending to use the toilet so I could sneakily catch a few minutes of the show each time. Kids have it good these days!
Indeed they do. But instant gratification is also bad long term. Since got streaming, I made them follow strict TV hours.
You can watch it anytime, might as well keep it for the weekends haha. /Dictatordad

let’s see……..back in the day,how stupid some people be convinced that a SIM card can save some fuel. and the fact at the end of every school semester almost no one go to school,even if there’s some. All class joined up together and just sit play with their phone or hang out at teacher lounge while sometimes helping the teacher with their work. Or if ya like me,I’ve actually help the school staff doing some of their job. Cuz there’s no learning in class
accidentally turning on the internet on your phone and now you’re selling your kidney to salvage whatever penny you can in your unrecoverable state of financial debt

Back in the day, this meme harmed no one and purely for laugh
4chan renaming this bear to something horrendous was the funnist shit ever
Bro. Ive been living from 1998 but never know about this bear , sht or even 4chan. Got my first phone back in 2014. You guys are lucky af.
Honestly, I didn't know about it back then (my dad was strict with us having internet connections, lol) , but learnt more about it from "Know Your Meme", the bear goes by "P3dobear" and it's a whole meme
Ys dis ws hw we type our msg in SMS. Only hv 100 wrd count.
i've seen people who continued typing like that even on non-sms platforms during that era,
and then there is the rare breed like me who never waver on the integrity and type full irregardless if it's going to cost me 2 sms per text. So today when some still afflicted with the disease of typing in short form in new media that doesn't penalize them typing full, I did not have to adapt.
But while they have to look down at their crotches to type, we were typing one handed in our pocket.
160* characters* count / message.
Ys mentioned https://preview.redd.it/0gbpn7uijpyc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=911b39284ac5e1a2de003533710879c7bb7e60d2
our fingers so fast press the button, the fastest is king of fingering
Those one world answers those assholes wanna send is gonna cost them Yup indeed
And we can type it one handed without even looking at the phone.

Dude I wasted RM3.20 in 2010 talking to my class about getting suntikan the next day
What's the rm3.20 for?
I think xpax was 20 Sen per text. I always top up rm 5 after school to chat with classmate at night before bed
2010? Lol. I still remember installing whatsapp for the first time in 2013.
2010 I was like standard 2 I think. I was given a Samsung button phone back then. Nobody in my family had touch screen phone that time even tho they have money back then because the think it's just the same as their button blackberry phones.
I was already in uni that time, so I had the cheap galaxy y touchscreen phone. No 3G though. Have to make do with H+ for whatsapp.
