Friends who are older than me: do you have any good stories of encountering spam on the early internet? (PLEASE BOOST FOR REACH)

90s or pre-2005 please!

I might end up quoting your example in an article 😊

zxo,

@mariyadelano In the late 90s or early 2000s, I noticed that some clever spammer was using a random dictionary approach to generate spoofed names. So rather than hotgirlxx291037 I'd get messages from Binder Q. Thrift or Farrier S. Crawling (I made these up, but that was the pattern they followed). I started keeping a .txt document of ones I found the most amusing. That file is long gone, but I still remember the name that inspired me to create in the first place: Rampaging O. Salsas

Best superpower? If you watch a movie or play a game, and one of the main character eats something, the movie/game pauses. You can then, if you desire, materialize that food in front of you, and once you finish it you can resume the movie/game

If you refuse, the game/movie stops

zxo,

@Nifflas No one will see the end of Cool Hand Luke again
