My first porn was on floppy disk

There's something poetic about using a floppy disk to get hard

I wonder if they could now make floppy disks with the same form factor but modern tech

I thought it was gonna be a USB drive but this works too

[–] preasket@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year ago

Haha, that's cool

If you put a small, double sided optical disk inside, you could probably get a few hundred gigs in there, maybe even up to a terrabyte or three. If you put flash storage, you could fit a few dozen terrabytes. Hell, you could build that yourself if you just bought a bunch of microsd cards and soldered the contacts into a different form factor

My first porn was probably NNTP (newsgroups) before I even had the actual WWW. Had to learn how to stitch images together from multiple posts in the early-mid '90s.

4chan... I rolled the fucking dice and lost I guess.

I thought the name sounded super familiar, but I had to look it up. My dad was into BBS and CompuServ in the '80s. He eventually got AOL, which is where I got started with NNTP. I really need to get his history on these things. I know that, when I was super young in the early '80s when they divorced, he was often spending a lot of time online. I'd really like to know more about that era as my memories are scattered and fractured.

3.5", 5.25" or the monster 8" is the question...

I downloaded my first porn from Kazaa, over dial-up.
