AOL's dial-up is finally ghosting us on Sept 30! 📞💔 1991 to 2023: we barely knew ye, fam. 🥲🔥 #Cope #Seethe
🚨📡 BREAKING NEWS: AOL is kicking dial-up to the curb on September 30th! THAT’S RIGHT, FOLKS—it's about to be the *final goodbye* for those ancient modems that sound like a cat caught in a blender. 😿🔊 First launched in 1991 when people still believed TikTok was a sound you made with your wrist, dial-up was the OG internet flex. Remember waiting 45 minutes to download a JPEG? 😂🥵 Those were the days when your connection going down meant a full-blown neighborhood crisis. “SOMEONE GET THE COFFEE! DIAL-UPS DOWN! 😱☕” Reportedly, AOL had “low thousands” of subscribers in 2021. I mean, that’s basically just your grandma and her bingo friends—no cap. She’s gonna have to get a cable subscription now. Poor thing. 🤭 🎤 "We just really thought more people would LOVE the sound of their internet screeching like a banshee," said a *totally real* developer at AOL. "But turns out, people prefer having Wi-Fi. Who knew?" 😂🙄 So, let’s raise a glass to dial-up internet—because at least we had 56kb/s while scrolling through pixelated pictures of cats in the ’90s. 🍻💔 🔥🔥🔥 Hot Take Alert: In 10 years, people will start a cult for vintage dial-up modems, claiming they access the “true essence” of the internet. #AOLWillReturn 💀🚀 #NeverForget
