        I’m only being pedantic for the sake of fun, but load any image (or stream data) into a hex editor and bam! you have text.

        Also, the musical Avenue Q has an entire song about what the internet is for, and I believe it’s inclusive of both pics and streaming video.

        If you've got time to be needlessly pedantic about shitposts, you've got time to practice your gun kata. Piss off.

    Maybe you remember what the WWW was like before it became cable TV with a comments section?

    I posted this elsewhere, but you might like it...

    The World Wide Web...
    A communications medium barely alive.
    We can rebuild it.
    We have the technology.
    We can make it better than it was.
    Better... Stronger... Faster...
