    A long long LOOOONG time ago I tried to screenshot a video in windows media player and the screenshot still changed when I moved or played the video. I often wonder if that was a fever dream or just some weird shit that was happening with really early tech. I remember being so mad because I just wanted a screenshot of a scene in the video and it wouldn’t work lol

      This is real. I first was mad too, but than I copied it into paint, made some kind of clipart TV around it, and made it my desktop background. After that I could open VLC, move the window into the right spot and minimize it. This was soo cool.

    How cool would it be if printers had a feature where they printed .gif pre-formatted as a flip-book?

      It’s crazy to think that oled indeed is paper thin, literally. I’m still wowed every time I disassemble an old screen from a device. It’s like, "that’s it? that thin piece of what looks like aluminium foil is the display? It’s crazy thin even together with the front glass. And I still have that reaction even though I know how the technology works.

    I once considered scanning a mirror so that I could make my background a mirror.

    I guess a perfect scanner could do that. But the piece of shit real world scanner my dad bought wouldn’t have managed it.

    Yahoo answers:

    I’m worried about my small penis will it keep growing?

    I’m 13 so I’m hoping it will keep getting bigger but it’s only 9 inches long. Is there anything I can do to make it bigger?

      I think my earliest handle was “here2help”; I must have been like 13-14. Although, I was wicked tech savvy for a kid in the late 90’s.

    !! That’s pretty Hi.

    Larious, that is. But it would be perty darn cool if Gifs could actually move once they were printed out. Pornhub would be overtrafficked 24/7.
