Back in (estimating) 1997, I was playing Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 via the then-relevant MSN Online and someone posted a link in the public chat; I don’t remember what the link offered, but it was enticing enough that my ten-year-old self clicked it.
They said “someone with the IP [whatever IP I had then] clicked this!” In response I unplugged both my modem and computer so they couldn’t hack me.
It’s embarrassing to remember now, but I knew so little at the time that it seemed to make sense in the moment.
Something that any script kiddie can do within 30 seconds? What’s to worry about?
nothing, but you’re a kid and don’t know that.
Hwy look! Another person making unaided ignorant assumptions about complete strangers online. How original!
Oh come on, I meant you are a kid in the context of the memes scenario, not literally in real life. Not a single assumption was made.
Good luck fool, I’m behind 7 proxies
Big words for someone at 192.168.1.6!
Oh, shit. They’re in your house!
“The IP address is coming from inside the house!”
Nah ur address is already clear, it’s 127.0.0.1
Don’t bully people, it’s not hard
Children aren’t people
I was walking out of the gym today and some random kid stood up and gave me a fist bump for no reason. It’s been a shitty week so far, and that kid made my day.
While I suspect that my own kids are probably not human, that random kid sure was.
