The internet was better when it was a pair of tin cans and a string.

Oh sure, like that was an improvement over cave painting.

There have been examples that are effectively primitive shitposts found carved into walls in Pompeii. People never really change.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Forget shitposts, there were legitimate flame wars in Pompeii graffiti:

Successus textor amat coponiaes ancilla(m) nomine Hiredem quae quidem illum non curat sed ille rogat illa com(m)iseretur scribit rivalis vale

Translates to:

Successus the weaver is in love with the slave of the Innkeeper, whose name is Iris. She doesn't care about him at all, but he asks that she take pity on him. A rival wrote this

A response to this translates to:[6]

You're so jealous you're bursting. Don't tear down someone more handsome― a guy who could beat you up and who is good-looking.

I definitely preferred oral history.

Cave paintings are overrated. Hand shadow puppets on the cave walls were always more dynamic.

Wi-Fi back then was using carrier pigeons.
