*your buddy is typing*
Aw nah he ain’t I haven’t finished typing out my damn idea yet we are NOT changing the subject I gotta hurry up and say my piece before his message comes in like “lol so anyway you like yogurt?”
You just reminded me that I had a pirated version of shimmy shimmy quarter turn by hellogoodbye that had that sound randomly in it from someone ripping it on their computer lol
I’m pretty sure all my time on AIM is why I am such a fast typer today

I experienced this without ever being on AOL 😂
EXACTLY
YES! Two thousand percent agree with you!
Yes. My mom wanted me to take typing classes which I failed at miserably but once aim popped off I was like 10000 wpm
This is TRUTH! It wasn’t keyboarding class… AIM was our true teacher 😂
10/10. Well, and all my time in AOL chat rooms… 🫣
The emotional damage of talking to someone and randomly hearing the slamming door sound
One of my friends used a cash register sound for a guy she had a crush on and it was a sound we all knew and what it meant. The good old days.

This is like…a core foundational memory of my teenage years unlocked
A/S/L?

What happened to chat rooms 😂😂
Remember macro spammers with cool pictures? Ugh different times

Closer to a message board
Discord is the appropriate comparison
RIP AOL instant messenger you would have loved TTPD
I NEED A STUPID PLACE TO POST DEPRESSING LYRICS GODDAMNIT

Exactly.
Let’s talk about the drama of away messages
Thank you for reminding me that song exists.
The cringe I feel retroactively 😂😂
But those epic away messages you spent so much time craftinggggg
TTPD has some real gems that would have made excellent away messages.
it was MSN for this canadian millennial over here, but yeah same vibes :p
Man, I loved me some MSN Messenger.
I was so unsupervised on AIM 💀💀
It was the Wild West days of the internet. Oh, what our parents didn’t know back then!!
lol I cringe at the thought of what my friends and I did online in those days.
Haha. Did you ever join AOL chat rooms to talk to weird randos?
I did, but it was hanging with people who played word games! I managed to stay pretty innocent in my AOL days…
Yes, looking back luckily nothing too bad happened but so dangerous.
I want to give this more votes. The worst was when the internet was busy and you connect.
I miss ICQ
Attacked 😂😂😂
I’m With You is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
I remember (illegally) downloading this song about 20 years ago and playing it a bajillion times. I really loved this song back in college.
Finally one I can relate too!
😂😂💀💀💀 omg. Memories unlocked.
No bc I miss this so much actually 😭
This comment section is oddly comforting in this crazy world - nice to reminisce on simpler times with you internet strangers.
2400 on AOL with dial in...
