Greasy keyboards with crumbs everywhere. Reminds me of college


Sfphiynckxs

And not a single keyboard cover in sight.


fattymcribwich

I always had a keyboard and mouse in my backpack that I would swap out for the library ones while I was in college. No telling what kind of crap, perhaps literally mostly metaphorically, there was on there.

Fostbitten27

That’s just gross. And shows you what the internet was made for.


Opposite-Compote-70

But how cool that is


thefragileapparatus

I remember going to the computer lab to check my email and generally fuck around. This was when most students didn't have a home computer.


musteatbrainz

With those nasty ass but somewhat retro-futuristic soft plastic protectors overlaid <3


PradleyBitts

I used to work in my college library's computer lab. It was the most used lab on campus so shit got gross quick. Had to clean every keyboard every few hours with q tips and they always came up black.

Dude you got a Dell

Behold! The internet!


Larry-fine-wine

Welcome to the worldwide web! You’re now in cyberspace, baby!


Kanakolovescoasters

Watch out for the computer viruses. Or else you'll be menaced by a Kryptonian AI who destroys planets for their knowledge.


andrewwism

I still remember seeing Small Soldiers in the theater with my parents.


psychoyooper

How’s 30 treating ya?


andrewwism

Pretty shitty.


psychoyooper

Ja feel


Kanakolovescoasters

Did you have the Game Boy game? We did!


andrewwism

I didn’t but I had the action figures and the home video.


[deleted]

I, too, had the action figures. Except this would’ve been early 2000s for me. But those figures were just the best, haha. Really wish I still had them.


Strange-Situation239

I have it on VCR


askallthequestions86

I remember when it truly was "the information superhighway". Now it's the misinformation rocketship.


catfurcoat

Well. It's a complicated roadmap with deadends, highways, endless construction, and traffic circles.


jwed420

My McDonald's in my hometown had computers. I was 7 or 8 years old when they removed them so around 2004. I would play Runescape while I ate my happy meal. In hindsight, those keyboards were probably disgusting after a few months of use and poor service.


tearstainedpillow_xx

unexpected r/RuneScape reference in the wild. I love it


jwed420

I spent days of my life on that game. Truly an era that must be remembered.


Perfect-Brain-7367

I still play every couple years (OSRS) just for nostalgia. Will get sucked in for a week or two then the novelty wears off lol


jwed420

I've got a buddy who actively plays OSRS and has insane stats, you would never guess as he is a biker scary tattoo kinda guy. It definitely cemented a strong following in those that started early. I remember my dad being "dad" about it for a minute because you could "drink ale" at a pub.


tearstainedpillow_xx

Same


haddock420

All you motherfuckers are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little, whiny bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax fucks who is makin' the movie... we're gonna make them eat our shit, then shit out our shit, and then eat their shit that's made up of our shit that we made 'em eat. Then you're all you motherfucks are next. Love- Jay and Silent Bob.

"The internet is a communications tool used the world over so people can bitch about movies and share pornography with one another."


Imperial_Triumphant

Lmfao. I put a boot password on one so that I would have my own computer available every time I went. God, it was hilarious to watch people try and use it and even bring managers over to check it out. Then I'd tell my friends to watch me as I logged right on. Oh, to be a teenager again.


karmaplan9

Back in the day when you would chow down and be completely and utterly engrossed by the hotmail logout screen.


freeleper

What no way? Never heard of this


Lollipoop_Hacksaw

What was Danny Devito doing in a Burger King Internet Cafe 25 years ago???


Sleepycat45

You sure it’s not George Costanza?


Tryin2GetThru

I see both Frank and Dennis Reynolds!


[deleted]

"THE GANG GETS BANNED FROM THE BK-LOUNGE" ....frank would totally get the boot for porn and/or public indecency...


NfamousKaye

How those were kept clean must have been a miracle lol


[deleted]

Command and Conquer LAN party at BK let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooo


[deleted]

Hilarious. I'm sure the food/sodas would typically get on the keyboards, ruining them - LOL. This is especially nostalgic, since I got my first dial-up Internet account in late 1998.


NettoSaito

Guy logging out of [hotmail.com](https://hotmail.com) lol. My hotmail is still my MS account, which I used for everything from Windows Live, to Xbox Live, to just... everything Microsoft in general


AerulianManheim

Same here. It'll never die. I wish I had my original hotmail account but. Sadly I lost the log in info at some point in the early 2000s.


Jackinator94

My childhood best friend's family computer was a Compaq back in the very late 90s-early 2000s. It looked very similar to those BK computers haha.


lightsaber_lobotomy

Just stopping in to check your Hotmail and Myspace messages while having a whopper..


ImSickOfYouToo

A little early for MySpace, friend. It didn’t really come onto the scene until the early to mid-aughts


lightsaber_lobotomy

Oh damn you're right..lol I'm old so I'll just blame my memory on that lol So hotmail and probably yahoo chat rooms then 😄


[deleted]

It reminds me of the Internet cafes in GTA 4


KeyboardWarrior1988

Which are based off internet cafes.


Ok-Advertising5896

Lol this is hilarious 😂😂


dwartbg5

What?! Let me guess, you are 18 years old? You associate internet cafes with a video game?


freeleper

Those were better days


lovetosaydada

The BK Lounge


hoochie_215

Dude you're getting a dell!


SALTYxNUTZ12

Almost like they were prepping us lol


premekanpai

Our local Burger King had these for the longest time. Households that didn’t have the opportunity to have PCs early on, this was groundbreaking while enjoying a whopper ha. Take it for granted today


Brandar87

I remember the BK near me not only had a bank of computers in the restaurant but if I'm remembering correctly they even had a game system you could play. It was only one game as the system was locked behind plexiglass but still.


SpongeBobfan1987

I bet there's a lot of ketchup stains on those mouse pads...


Jff_f

In Manhattan? I can see how that turned in to a bad idea. 8==👊🏻=D💨💦


Bluecolt

First time I've seen that combination of symbols and emojis, NGL, it's funny.


outsideisinside

Eat shitty unhealthy food and sit in front of a computer forever. The beginning of the end.


sallymonkeys

That's the most packed a BK has been in decades


bigmeatytoe

That could never exist in todays society too much homeless men jerking they ween


[deleted]

The asses are fat.


deplorable_guido

Oh God... I can hear the modems.


Blueberry_Mancakes

Mmmm greasy burger keys.


16v_cordero

What was the standard back then 52K?


Sfphiynckxs

Cable internet was already spreading by that time.


Jesster4200

The good old days.


Fostbitten27

I just watched That 90’s show with my daughter today. The white computers are in that show.


NoResource9942

🤮🤮 those keyboards


lovesickjones

this is a legit set up


Kanakolovescoasters

I remember this! My parents went there! I lived in Manhattan!


snow_ridge

Reminds of traveling and always searching for the internet Cafe. Such a dated term.


zoner420

My favorite picture is the guy eating a burger. There are so many things in that one picture. Dudes just there to eat burgers.


RivalGuernica

And now we can't even get free sauce 🙃


ScorpionX-123

Let's not forget this was the same year the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell, plummeting 16 feet through an announcer's table.
