Mastodon/Fedi is the social network for people who read the encyclopedia for fun as a kid 🤔
@FlockOfCats I did.
My parents bought one in the late 60s. It's crazy how even in the early 90s I sometimes still used it as a source for this or that.
Maybe that's why the world was going slower back then. Because we all had decades old encyclopedias?
I think ours was from like 1988, so not that old when I was a kid, but some details did quickly fall out of date!

You picked a funny reference ("I was counted in the mentioned event and I don't like it")
@FlockOfCats Yes, 1989 was the year when I realized that maybe it was old. I still used it for non-historical things.
