    Being Finland they should have been spaced enough to not bunch up, as we
    all know this is how they queue up for the bus:

    I'm here when I'm observed to be here.
    Otherwise I'm everywhere.

    Oi, saw a reference in alt.folklore.computers to site that replayed usenet of forty years ago, post by post...

    Electronic social media from before the internet.

    That is disturbing if they have a big enough archive.

    40 years is 1983. I got on in 1985, and have some memories of very AOL/September participation.

    The post is

    Message-ID: <k06fg5F71hjU1@mid.individual.net>
    From: Tavis Ormandy <taviso@gmail.com>
    Newsgroups: alt.folklore.computers
    Subject: oldusenet project
    Date: 17 Dec 2022 18:18:45 GMT

    I thought this might be interesting to some readers here, the olduse.net >project has recently restarted (note: it's not my project, I'm just
    a user)

    https://olduse.net/#forty

    It's an nntp server that replays usenet posts with a 40 year delay. I
    quite enjoy following some of the old discussions at the speed they
    happened.

    Obviously it's read only - it's a usenet server, not a DeLorean :)

    Tavis.


    And: yes, disturbing...
