What are some of the rules about the Internet that were taught to you but are now completely ignored? (discuss.tchncs.de)

For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

Don’t pick up the phone if someone is online… I’m old

[–] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 49 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I’m a millennial, I learned this, and now I just don’t pick up the phone.

It’s weird when someone calls me and it’s actually a live one.

I'm a gen z and I can't put down the phone

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Now try and call someone with it. I'll wait

Feel free to call me whenever, it only costs you $69 a minute.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't call them, it's just them screaming " NOT THE BEES!" Over and over again for a minute, weirdest wank ever.

I can’t remember. Did it make pterodactyl noises or is that just faxes?

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

You come from a nice family. My family disconnected each other all the time

[–] n0x0n@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

That, together with: I’m online, watch out for the ca… “No carrier”

I'm not that old but was dealing with that in the mid-2000s before my parents finally switched.
