💀🌙🛸 (@TOMBZZZ) reported from Chicago, Illinois@cooIcatz In an era of AOL dial up internet at best too so if you weren't scouring for info you had little reason to doubt it. Would never work today they bottled lightning there.
-
#TriHerbal Woman✨ (@TRIhunna) reported from Chicago, IllinoisPlease 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

Helena (@thelastpinkcar) reported from Chicago, IllinoisGeez @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.

Stereogum (@stereogum) reportedAfter 71 years, the longstanding mail-order media club Columbia House is shutting down on Sept. 15. Columbia House got its start in 1955 as the Columbia Record Club, a direct-mail marketing program by CBS/Columbia Records. New members were promised a free record for joining, and customers could bypass a trip to the record store by ordering albums to be shipped to them at home. It was such a wildly popular venture that by 1963, it represented 10% of the music retail market. As the club spawned imitators, Columbia set itself apart by licensing titles from other labels, giving members a larger catalog to choose from. In the early 1970s, the name of the club was changed to Columbia House. With its introductory offer of “8 CDs for a penny,” the service remained a powerhouse throughout the late 20th century, peaking at 16 million members in 1996, the same year the Columbia House website went live. In 1991, Sony and Time Warner formed a 50/50 joint venture combining Columbia House with Time Life's home video and music clubs. As the market share for mail-order music clubs declined due to the rise of online and big-box retailers, Sony and AOL Time Warner sold 85% of Columbia House to the Blackstone Group. There were widespread reports of a planned merger with CDNow or Blockbuster Video, but neither came to pass. In 2005, Columbia House was sold to its competitor BMG, and then to JMCK Corp. It rebranded as Direct Brands, shutting down music sales and continuing as a DVD and Blu-ray Disc club. Plans to launch a vinyl record club with Columbia House branding did not materialize.

Emwil Doct. | Could Be Retiring Anytime Soon (@yuki_yagami) reported18 of 20 (never used AOL or a waterbed)

JOLTZ (@jrholtz) reported@AshleyInMKE I was born in the 70s and never had an AOL account because my first email was from my college and when I got out Hotmail and Yahoo were the bigger players. And while I've slept in waterbeds a few times, I always hated them and got terrible sleep.

FRESH™👻👑 (@PalmBeach561) reportedI remember back when we had aol chat rooms and would just talk **** about everything and any thing

Sam (@SammyLem90) reported@aburk203 @alphafox AOL chat boards, shared AIM, shared MSN Messenger too. Different times: Napster, Limewire, Proxys, Memes, NES, Surge Soda, Lucas Candy, Butterfinger BBs and Mr. T Cereal. Sound of Dial-up, and Saturday night cartoons. A bike outside because for some reason it was ok for a 10YO to leave the house and bike a mile to the the grocery store in a beat down neighborhood. Wow, took me back to a time I didn't have to worry about bills.

nathanistic (@nathanistic) reportedKoalas already sleep 18 to 20 hours a day just to survive on a diet of tough, low-calorie eucalyptus leaves, so during breeding season, when males travel across territory and call repeatedly searching for a mate, that search comes at a real energy cost. If success doesn't come quickly, researchers have observed both males and females essentially cut their losses, males quiet down and stop searching, while females retreat to familiar trees and reduce movement to lower stress and conserve energy. It's less about giving up out of frustration and more about biology forcing a hard limit, koalas run on such a strict energy budget that continuing to search nonstop could actually drain the reserves they need just to stay healthy for the next breeding opportunity. Later in the season, once energy reserves stabilize, males often pick the calls back up again. There's something oddly relatable about an animal whose entire strategy for disappointment is just going back to sleep. Does knowing the actual biology behind it make the koala nap life even funnier, or does it take away from the joke? Sources: AOL, WWF, A-Z Animals

Jay Rundle (@rundle_r) reported@JohannBiermann1 The bit worth adding: they never sell what they buy, so this isn't a flipper; it's more like a hospice for tired apps that turns a profit. AOL and Evernote under one Italian roof is a sentence that shouldn't exist but does.
