lol at all of that. but i especially lol'd at POS = parent over shoulder. i remember many years ago when AIM was a thing. my dad must've seen some news segment along these same lines and decided to quiz me and my brother to see if we knew what they meant. don't remember what any of them were except for POS. we both assumed it meant the obvious...piece of shit. but he said he heard it meant "parent over shoulder". always thought that one was funny.

I got 12 of 15 just because they seemed the most obvious but these are pretty dumb

Also MIRL is obviously "Me In Real Life" followed by a humorous picture or gif

Some of the made up wrong answers are funnier than the actual ones.

I played atari, commodore 64 and nintendo as a kid, and didn't have internet until i got to college.

It was a simpler time.

we had a commodore 64 in the 80s but it had a dial up modem and we went on bulletin boards. i guess you consider that the internet. dad had a cool strip poker game, i learned the rules of poker trying to see some pixelated as hell boobies.

Ha, we might have had the same game. I remember you had to win several hands before you got her into her teddy. But this was before dial-up modems. Also had the original leisure suit larry.

^that was the game!

there were dial modems before there was a commodore 64 i believe. you had to buy it separate

My dad probably just wasn't that high tech.
