  • _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.

  • 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.

  • TOMBZZZ 💀🌙🛸 (@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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • IamEricT IamEric+ Streaming Service only 4.99/month (@IamEricT) reported from River Forest, Illinois

    @swyx @jaredpalmer First software I ever wrote in Corp America was to make sure a large Telco could create a bill supporting that many digits… the intended customer persona: AOL

  • AdamKoralik Adam Koralik (@AdamKoralik) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @RNeedre @AOL I've never found one for sale to be honest.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • via_southside Golly I’m Gully 🇱🇷 (@via_southside) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    ****, AOL Cuties and Thugs chat days.

  • fauxy1994 David Faux (@fauxy1994) reported

    @samriegel @sherlock_hulmes Silly question, perhaps, but did England have AOL? Was there an early dial-up service better branded for non-Americans online? I may look it up, but this post made me wonder. Some products expand beyond their naming, and I was curious if this was one of them.

  • squeed ˙Ↄ ʎǝsɐↃ (@squeed) reported

    Man, what ever happened to the AOL Transit Data Network? (They used to be a Tier-1 carrier for no obvious reason)

  • awwplaya Awwplaya (@awwplaya) reported

    @_itsmarita @khilanii I knew it. Millennium kids are spoiled as hell, never had to deal with dial up Internet and AOL free trials.

  • jonathanpurvis Jonathan Purvis (@jonathanpurvis) reported

    @AmazonHelp well. it worked last night. today it says that it is updating when I turn it on. and now it doesn’t work. it’s trying to stream @hbomax and after four attempts starting the app, it’s now playing it like aol dialup and has given me errors twice. what should I do to troubleshoot?

  • NitoJUMPOFF Fernando Carcamo (@NitoJUMPOFF) reported

    They went out of business because when they were still RED HOT and AOL/Time Warner merger happened, @EBischoff lost control because nobody wanted “wrasslin” on Turner TV anymore. It all went down hill from there ..... people need to research more !

  • SallijaneG Sally Gellert (@SallijaneG) reported

    @AOLSupportHelp Sorry, not signing onto another terms of service that enables even more intrusion into my account—there is no category for e-mail, anyway. I think you got the message, at least I hope so.

  • mikebonhamsf Mike Bonham, MD/PhD (@mikebonhamsf) reported

    @APompliano Coinbase is the new AOL, stay away from that SV **** coin casino, anyone want my BSV from CB, I cant sell that bag. When will the CEO say "Bitcoin"

  • Domo_on_Demand The thing they call Dom feat. master's degree (@Domo_on_Demand) reported

    Help I got the bill gates microchip and now I can only think in AOL dial up screeches

  • FloridaRepNY Sto Man (@FloridaRepNY) reported

    @jimcramer If you use Coinbase you would understand its entire platform is horrible. It reminds me of AOL

  • LowBlueFlame My Little Dalahäst - Lynx/El (@LowBlueFlame) reported

    @NateIsBack2 I met up with someone I knew online back in the aol days. We talked a bit, maybe an hour, and he gets up to use the bathroom. 15 mins pass and I'm thinking he ate something bad until the bouncer comes and tells me he's passed out on the bathroom floor. Bartender tells me --
