I've been here since the beginning, you chubby-cheeked little pot-bellied rugrat. In fact, I was online before the Internet even fucking existed; I had a 110 baud modem and a TTY terminal I used to connect to the university mainframe to play Maze of the Minotaur. I was blowing operators off their trunk lines with a bluebox a decade before you got splattered on your mommy's cervix. I'm an OG nerd, son, and you should most definitely fuck off until you stop getting carded when you want to buy a beer.

I've smoked a pipe for 20 years. I own two fedoras and I can wear them in a completely unironic way and look good in them. That's what happens when you grow up.

My real frustration, and reason for my OP, is trying to discuss pulp with kids. With Injustice 2 out, the nerd fora are full of "could X take Y" talk, and discussion of (what they think are) obscure characters. I've had a lifelong love of the old pulps and radio plays -- The Shadow, Doc Savage, Lady Domino, The Phantom, and so on -- and their evolution into the Golden Age of comics. But unless it's fucking Batman or the Avengers, none of these kids has any knowledge or interest in it.

It makes my nerd heart sad that kids today don't know who Fantomas is or the difference between bps and baud or why you used an MFM drive only for backups or how you could detect xbar when you were blueboxing -- and worse, don't give a shit about learning about it.

Fellow oldfag here, cultural history is one thing, but learning about obsolete technology is kind of pointless. I have no knowledge of transistor radios, or vacuum tubes, or how computers read cards with a bunch of holes in them, and I wouldn't consider that sad.

>>733565484
ITs because those problems don't occur as often or we have better ways of doing so and ave found ways around it. Things and times change not everyone can get a total and complete rundown on what happened twenty years ago. You will soon get that or hopefully. Kids of today are rapped up in there own world of horseshit. they don't have to deal with your old horseshit.

>>733565878
Well look, let me give you a practical example. A nerd asserted that if Darkseid and Brainiac had teamed up in Injustice 2, they could easily take over the entire Universe. I gave a long list of characters, mainly from the Golden and Silver Ages, who could curb stomp them, from the entire population of Daxam (which is how the Legion defeated Darkseid) to Vartox (whose entire schtick is that he's the Superman of another galaxy, only stronger in every way and with more powers). And was completely ignored because none of the pimply little kids participating have any knowledge or interest in the lore.

That's just one example. It happens constantly. I get tired of being completely ignored like I don't exist because kids are oblivious to and have no interest in the history and lore of their own nerd subcultures.

I may not be able to change the tubes in an old radio, but I at least know what tubes are, what they were used for, and could probably learn to service them in a few hours at the library. Likewise I know who invented the first electric computer (Konrad Zuse) and which of the Steves was the *real* genius (Woz). I wasn't born in the 19th century, but I know who Sheridan le Fanu and James Branch Cabell and Mervyn Peake are and why every nerd owes them a debt of thanks. Modern nerds are woefully ignorant of their own history, and that's just depressing.

>>733566872
Its not really ignorance but more of the "newness" of the technology that has not caught up with the educational system, do not blame the kids for something they are unaware of due to the ignorance of another.

That's just it. It's not the trivial minutia, it's the complete obliviousness to the symbolism and archetypal iconography of the genres. How can they possibly discuss what is and isn't out of character for Batman if they don't understand the weird combination of campiness and grimdark grittiness in the pulp stories which gave rise to Batman? How can they know whether the Superman of Injustice 2 is a valid take on the character if they don't understand how the subtext of fascism and "white burden" racism in the pulps helped shape the character? And I don't blame them for not knowing, I blame them for not having any *interest* in knowing.

Ok. Old (57) technology fag here ( debug.com

I don't blame them for not knowing. I blame them for having no interest in knowing.

>>733567682
MFMs were notorious for failure under regular use. They were cheaper than an IDE, but no one ever relied on them more than once. They were fine for backups, though, if you didn't have a tape drive.

>>733567407
Its not really lack of interest is more about the fact that their are so many story lines that its overwhelming and complex that authors or comic writers write on a certain previous story line and expand on it or try to combine everything and end up failing. There is to much to worry about that's why.

I'm thinking more towards the early 80s when you had a choice of MFM (cheapest), IDE (a bit more expensive but more reliable), and SCSI (most reliable but by far the most expensive). It was hard to find a third party hard drive controller which was perfectly compatible, which meant reliability was always an issue for me to begin with, and I had actual flames more than once.

right.... what's your point here?

Humans are still humans, and will still be humans in the future. There were humans in the past, who lived human lives we can learn from.

Do you know what the renaissance was all about? Do you have any idea how different the world would be if that didn't happen?

Also when it comes to technology, sometimes we do learn things from more primitive systems that, due to certain limitations, had to be better engineered in other areas.

Nah, when I put together a new rig, I usually gift my old one to someone who doesn't need much in the way of computing power, or turn it into a mail server or Usernet node or something.

even if we're stupid, we've still done a lot of work to get our knowledge. That machine would be built out of human knowledge, and would only be able to design a hammer because humans programmed it to understand basic mechanical principles and thus a hammer.

The hammer it makes possibly wouldn't be as well designed as a human hammer, as our hammers have evolved over time. The robot's hammer would be the first generation of it's technological evolution of a hammer, and unless it can predict every possible future use for that hammer, it will most likely design a better one after experiencing a physical research/development phase with the first hammer.

If it had read the stupid human's wiki-page for hammers, it might have had a better idea about making the first one.

At any rate, humans are stupid, and our world is made of the mistakes and triumphs of our predecessors, which we can learn a lot from.

>>733573343
We still use FM and HAM today so that's kind of a bad example. Lets say it's 100 years into the future and we have just developed superhuman AI at this point. The entire human race is instantly wiped out, along with all of recorded history. Would the loss of all of that information matter to the AI?
Let's say its today and society collapses. We wouldn't pick up replaced technology and begin using it. We would go right back to using the latest.

>>733572932
>old technology becomes irrelevant to the grand scheme
I really don't see how? My house is mostly full of technology from the past 100 years. There are newer versions of pretty much all of this stuff, but nothing I have is obsolete. Actually most of it's worth more because it's vintage and was built to a higher standard than things are today.

19th Century:
House: slate roof tiles, windows, sturdy doors, fireplace, bathroom, kerosene lantern (seriously awesome piece of forgotten technology)

20th Century:
most kitchen appliances
electric lights
gas heating
95% of my music equipment (guitars, basses, electrian piano, synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, effect pedals, amplifiers, mixing desks, microphones)
all the speakers in my entertainment system
cutlery/utensils

21st Century:
Computer/Internet
LED TV/Monitor
Smart Phone
Loop station and two digital effect pedals (music equipment)

The only thing my newer tech has replaced is a multitrack tape machine and dictaphone, simply out of convenience. Tape certainly isn't obsolete and I still use tape echo machines for their characteristics. Really, my multi-track recorder is more 'future-proof' than my computer. In 50 years you'll still be able to record onto a reel and get that sound, where as my fancy computer probably won't be usable 10 years from now.

I think it's worth mentioning that most music you hear today is using sounds made by what you're calling 'irrelevant' technology

Yeah, sorry anon, but if society is collapsing in the most basic of ways, we're at least not going to be using anything remotely cutting-edge that relied on then-contemporary society to function. If anything, there will be a buffer of what technological tier would be viable relative to what's current.

As in, if society collapses and all electronics are fried, and the majority of fabrication plants, factories, mass agriculture, power generation facilities, and supply chains vanish

So because they can access a Google search on their cellphones, they unconsciously believe they know everything Google can access. Their *actual* knowledge base is virtually nil. If the cellphones stop working and Google goes dead, they'll be completely helpless.

>>733576566
Sounds about right.

children are so fucked these days

Are you the faggot spamming that shit all day?

>>733576566
why waste personal storage space on information that's already stored elsewhere and easily accessible?

adapt or die

>>733577089
because it makes you dependent on someone else's control of the narrative

There quit being good raids. They were all becoming personal army requests. Thank /pol/ for that. The christfags, nazis, and sexists. The least fun people in every situation.

I sincerely hope you are really not this naive.

If and when society collapses, it won't be gradual. It will be a contigious series of disasters each triggering the next as the infrastructure fails. Transportation stops first, which stops fuel and food, which stops power and water. Over a period of hours-to-days the water, medicine, food, electricity, phones, and Internet will cease. Do you know the proper ratios to mix black powder? Do you know where to obtain the chemicals? Do you know how to gut a squirrel, tan hides, construct a slingshot, smelt iron, or even construct a solar still? No. You won't be able to look any of that shit up when your life and the lives of your family depend on it.

What's there to explain. Google decides the first page results and that's all anyone reads.

Or in the broader sense if you come to me for information and no one else then I can fill your brain with whatever the fuck I want.

That's if you survive the initial chimpout exactly a couple hours from society failing. That's also banking on the hopes that the people you enslave aren't above tricking you into drinking water with parasites in it.

Or if the surplus of guns in North America don't manage to connect a bullet to your head incidentally while they're still around and plentiful.

>>733577490
ill bet you cant answer any of my questions without using google

>>733577386
Have you read Art of War? Vom Kriege? The Prince? How to Win Friends and Influence People? Have you actually organized anything as large as a softball team, much less an army? Do you understand the dynamics of leadership? Have you studied psychology, political science, and mass communications? You are like the poster child of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Your staggering ignorance prevents you from seeing your complete lack of expertise.

>>733577594
im a natural born leader. one day you will be reading my books after i lead the world to salvation.

See, the thing is, I'm an actual community organizer and radical unionist with 25 years of experience organizing on a grass-roots level in the face of serious and occasionally violent repression by police and security. I know you think your "whatevs" Millennial shitposting is funny and that you're showing your superiority by exhibiting your ignorance, but if a big collapse does happen, it will be people like me keeping everyone -- including you -- alive in the face of a new Dark Ages. Your smirking shit-for-brains meme magic won't be worth a fart sandwich.

>>733577793

I'm semi screwed in the apocalypse. Most of the things I've committed to memory are about music theory... a little electronics and basic mechanics, the things I learned in scouts, and I'd have the rest of my potentially short life to master my pocket SAS survival guide or die trying lol.
I'd be hoping to make myself useful enough to based survivalists who properly prepared for the end of the world - how do you think I'd go?

>>733577936
ok. youre good

>>733577978
surviving isnt hard.

plant shit in the ground. herd animals. make treeforts in the woods. ez

did you know earth temp is stable 8 feet down? dig a hole and you can survive any weather anywhere

>>733577668
>>733577832
>>733577927
I'm not even a community organizer or radical unionist with a quarter century of experience organizing on a grass-roots level in the face of serious and occasionally violent repression by police and security.

But even I would make a significantly better leader than that anon. Granted, I don't expect myself to do great things, but still.

>>733577978
People with practical skills always do okay. The ability to play music well enough to entertain people has been keeping alive and fed for thousands of years, and as long as there's any kind of social structure left standing, you wouldn't starve -- or at least, you wouldn't starve any more than anyone else.

Incidentally, don't listen to >>733578027 this moron. He sounds like every idiot Millennial who watched Bear Grylls once and thinks he knows how to survive in the woods. I spent an entire year living in a tent and I assure you he'd be dead inside a month.

>>733578027
how deep do you plant corn? How do you plant potatoes? Do peanuts harvest above or below ground?

>>733578227
potatoes you stick toothpicks in and put them over a water dish duh havent you seen pictures

peanuts are above ground retard i used to eat them

>>733578227
He's just shitposting. He thinks it makes him clever, the way having access to Google makes him knowledgable. He's too stupid to recognize his lack of expertise, so he has a totally unearned arrogance which makes him believe he's superior to us. I've met a thousand just like him. He's exactly the kind of idiot know-nothing child this whole thread is about.

>>733578270
Peanuts grow on the roots. You have to plow up or pull up the plant to get to the peanuts.. yeah. you'd do great growing your own food without assistance.

>>733578383
Actually I'm the 56 year old IT Professional from way up the thread.

>>733578407
you put seeds in the ground. literally anyone can figure it out.

>hurrrr im a genius because i just googled how to plant peanuts

i wouldnt even plant peanuts nuts are shit. id plant tomatoes and just eat those

>>733578383
i hope we meet in the apocalypse. im going to take everything from you

>>733578494
Not you. >>733578551 <--- Him.

>>733578551
And yet there is a whole science devoted to farming/plant growing called Horticulture.

And i didn't google how to plant peanuts. I grew up on a farm in the 60's and 70's where we grew, slaughtered, and hunted most everything we ate.

hahahaha
I really want to see a post-apocalyptic movie about cocky millennials struggling to live off tomatoes.

seriously if shit goes down and your planting crops to survive, plant those fucking nuts. you'll need the protein.

>>733578800
checked

really? they teach you about peanuts in biology? they must have cut out some pertinent material

>>733578829

Heh, you just described Withnail and I. Except with potatoes.

>>733578829
what's to stop me from pilfering your peanut patch? literally nothing. and dont say guns because i already have all the guns in this scenario

dont worry im not greedy i would leave you some

>>733578883

Yes, anon. Plants are living things.

good post, great quote!

>>733578551
No you retarded fagot nuts are great since trees continue to yield for 50 to 100 years. Peanuts are legumes and legumes are great as well since the usually have fat, fiber, protein, and carbs depending on which one.

i figured youd learn about plants and animals in an abstract overview, maybe with some cellular level perspective.

literally you took peanuts 101 and you dont think there's anything unusual about it. HA

>>733578973
those people are weak. there guns will be mine too

>>733579016
Well, what you're saying is a gross oversimplification of what happened, and I'm not too interested to go into the details of how I learned not to be a faggot.

haven't been on this site long enough to say shit about it, but honestly, regardless of all the trap shit and porn there is on this site, if you actually have a serious problem that needs to be solved /b will be there for you. My car broke down and I posted a pic of it on /b and a shit ton of people diagnosed it for me and it was actually helpful before it became a car thread and people forgot what the initial thread was about

>>733579232
How many rounds have you fired from your 38?

>>733579374
Oh my god, I think I remember you.

>>733579376
im not the first owner. it's from the 80s, first gen.

i shot 50 rounds through it before it shot itself apart.

>>733579402
really? if so, did you remember what is was about?

>>733579420
Stationary or moving targets? Are you pretty accurate with it?

>>733563009
this
fuck new 4chan

>>733579479
stationary. was shooting single action. if i shoot double action i miss everything

>>733579429
You got some sort of light on your dashboard, and it was a gear with an exclamation mark in the middle, or something? I think I remember something about it being more or less something to be ignored, something about transmission.

But I've been on /b/ for a while so either I'm misremembering or remembering something else entirely.

>>733579374
Whom do you think were helping you? The hordes of rate-my-cock Millennials and shitposting teenyboppers? No. It's the oldfags still lurking in the murky depths, waiting for the swarm of middle school invaders to get tired of shitting the bed and move on to their next victim.
