Happy 10,000th day Internet!

10.000 days makes absolutely no sense. 10.000 days = 27 years and 5 months, which would mean the internet "started" around 28/2-1989.. Everyone knows, that's far from the truth... The internet dates back to the 60s as a joint venture between American military and American universities, called ARPANET..

its the 10000th day of the world wide web its already been explained

What on Earth is it doing outside of Big Ben? You'll doom us all!

Was ARPANET something that everyone in their homes could use? Nope.

Was the World Wide Web something that everyone in their homes could use? Yup

OP said Internet. Not WWW.

WWW, IIRC, is from 1994, not 1989, so still not correct..Besides, WWW is only one small of Internet, just like FTP, POP3, SMTP, and many other services are...- - - Updated - - -But that would be the same as claiming that artifical electric lightning started in the 1990s, when energy saving bulbs became popular, even though the common light bulb dates back more than 100 years more.

i think some people are salty cos america didnt invent the world wide web, ARPANET is not the internet it was basically america trying to use it for universitys to communicate with each other so a primative skype if you like and it didnt even work properly it crashed so yeah.

70% of the internet is streaming, not web. most phone apps aren't web either. Netflix, YouTube Snapchat

internet is the network a lot of things move across including web traffic but including a lot of other things too.

Does that mean we're getting a pizza party?

I started using the web in late 1993 and barely knew what I was doing. 1995 is when I got much better at using it and started getting into console war fights with mods and users.

I believe my first fight was:

User: Vectorman sucks!
Me: Oh yeah? Did you wait in line to find out?

Some dumb shit like that and it was my first ban.
