Companies had copystriked all the arts and knowledge to hoard it into their now dead servers to get profit from subscription services only, so the only peak at humanity now are blogs, memes, and random posts.

    Well after so long there’s nothing left of the fragile silicon storage mediums, so as far as we can tell civilization basically ended in the late 90s as everyone moved to the mysterious “.com” which we assume to be a euphemism for death.

    It’ll be remembered a dark age when the lights go out and all the disks rot. And, if I know archaeologists, they’ll call our data centers ritual centers or temples.

    Otherwise there will be disbelief at the inexplicably sophisticated engineering, and how we could have achieved it all with no written records. Probably it was all just ancient aliens.

      and how we could have achieved it all with no written records.

      Our religion prevented using doc strings or code comments of any kind. What little software we had that actually worked correctly probably was aliens, come to think of it…

    We really like porn. It doesn’t how freaky the porn is, we all love it.

    Pregnant Sonic banging Tails. Porn. Morticia going down on Cousin It. Porn. A step-sibling getting stuck. Porn.

    lol, as if the internet would survive long enough to be studied archeologically. most digital media lasts 10 years, 20 tops. future archeologists will get whatever was worth laser-etching into a sapphire disc and they’ll just have to live with that.
