4chan for AI is absolutely how we end up with some kind of IncelSkyNet that is a far worse future for us and our new impotent overlords.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Trying to imagine the level of derangement in thinking Bob Dylan is cooler than Johnny Cash - and I just can't get there. Holy fucking dumbfuck. Even as clickbait garbage this is painfully stupid and Fasman is way too old to be cut any slack for this. Jettisoned to the sun.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP
