Older than 9/11, but not by enough to remember much more than the stories about going balls to the walls on acting assimilated to the country I was living in so we wouldn't stand out as Americans because the consulate was worried some locals might try taking hostages to support the terrorists.

It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night.

...What?! I mean why are we out here, in this canyon?

My childhood is having Carameldansen be a popular meme, and then having that promptly taken away.

EDIT: I also witnessed the birth and the death of "Vine".

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)
