  • WahidTazudeen Wahid Tazudeen (@WahidTazudeen) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    I don’t know why my internet is running so slow. I have the latest version of Netscape Navigator installed with AOL webcrawler as backup.

  • donjensenep Don P. Jensen Jr (@donjensenep) reported from Elmwood Park, Illinois

    @J0hnnyXm4s I think the problem here people are too use o 40 or less characters. It is also difficult for many to type what they want for fear of that digital trail. We have also come to the point were us old school bbs and aol chat room people are becoming less and less. I often have to

  • greenSLLIME 🤮ghoul🤮 (@greenSLLIME) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    I keep a drawer full of broken aol discs to cut a ***** wit

  • KingThelonious Thelonious Martin™ (@KingThelonious) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @streamlabs Not maintaining 30FPS resulting my streams looking like I’m on AOL connection. I wasn’t having that issue before.

  • JamesZekis James Zekis (@JamesZekis) reported from Oak Park, Illinois

    @TheNotoriousLEX My memories of that race is mostly being in AOL chat rooms with people screaming at each other about steroids and Chip Caray with the worst HR call in history when McGwire broke the record. I don't want a documentary to color my experience.

  • _MissValdes The Pillowhouse Princess of Lys (@_MissValdes) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    I’m just waiting for Nelly’s shit to start making the aol startup sound.

  • TRIhunna #TriHerbal Woman✨ (@TRIhunna) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    Please update your app. It’s AOL dial up type slow @ShopifySupport. It literally crashes every 3 commands. Also, it would behoove you to make it an option to be able to print labels/ packing slips in bulk as opposed to which day they’re purchased Printing shouldn’t be a hassle

  • thelastpinkcar Helena (@thelastpinkcar) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    Geez @verizon I pay $330/month for 6 devices on a family plan, and I can only use my jetpack for approximately two weeks of normal internet usage, and then you slow me down to pre-AOL dial-up speeds. Just hate this. That's not fair at all.

  • 2020Kra ChangeMyName (@2020Kra) reported

    Damn I didn’t know AOL was still on the web

  • ManoppoMarco Marco Manoppo (@ManoppoMarco) reported

    I don’t get tribalism in crypto. If you’re believe we’re still so early, its like being tribal towards AOL or Nokia. You can support portcos without sounding tribal.

  • Eye_Kyu Childless Gambino (@Eye_Kyu) reported

    @GUNSANDCRAYONS The floppy disks were the first ones. Like aol 3.0 and ****. I used the cds too later

  • CSA0905 CSA (@CSA0905) reported

    @BeerStix Generation Z will never realize the horrors of 56k modems, and AOL while also having to fight over who gets to use the internet or talk over the telephone first.

  • The_DoctorO Darren Owen (DrO | WACUP) (@The_DoctorO) reported

    @HTFCirno2000 @solelychloe there's 1 support person part of the group who now own & are still meant to be making new "winamp" that was from the aol era. though everything determined so far is the windows version is dead (hence imho the need for a wacup) & if it happens it'll be like a mobile spotify clone.

  • SimonZiff_AZ Simon Ziff (@SimonZiff_AZ) reported

    @ZacharyAarons Damn. I still have one Zach…. Mostly for my gardening friends though. I have a competitor that was using his AOL account until a few years ago.

  • Alastor_Trinh Alastor 🌹🦇 Lewd Vampire (@Alastor_Trinh) reported

    I never went on Omegle because I knew that was for weirdo adults, and in 2007 I was 9 lmao, but I didn’t like AOL either because I also saw that for adults. YouTube chats it was! You could even play playlists and ****. It was so rad.

  • unc_cool 🇺🇲Daddy Cool🇺🇸🐏🚛 (@unc_cool) reported

    Damn...It was that bad... ttps://www.aol.com/west-side-story-star-rachel-145841026-152309240.html Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” is nominated for seven Academy Awards, including best picture, director and supporting actress for Ariana DeBose. Rachel ...

    @emoneyeth Why did this create that horrible dial up connection sound in my head. I hope it's more than what AOL was to the internet.

  • ak_bellore AK Bellore (@ak_bellore) reported

    @khurshed But still people blame AOL for Yamuna river bed damage.
