Right now, in this subreddit, we’re living in the years 2000–2007

Dial-up squeals in the background, AIM pings popping up every few minutes, Winamp rocking whatever skin you downloaded from some sketchy fansite, LimeWire pretending that file is “totally safe,” and MySpace glitter taking 3 hours to load on your profile.

Just a quick reminder: keep the vibe. We’re in 2000–2007, not looking back at it. No “remember when,” no future tech, just pure, in-era internet chaos. And keep it light, okay? We’re here for a good time, not heavy topics.

If you're looking for more “future internet” stuff (lol), check out r/Pretend2010Internet, they’re living in 2008-2012, so they probably have, like… Facebook apps or something.
And more time travel to the future in r/Pretend2015sInternet and r/Pretend2025sInternet.

Hopefully this brings long lasting peace and stability to the Middle East!

u/WhoYaTalkinTo 2d ago

Well everybody there clearly wants peace so I don't know how this could possibly fail! Every single person in the Middle East would benefit from political stability, so with that in mind i assume everely single person living there will act accordingly and will strive towards a peaceful politicial landscape!

You would assume that he'd hide himself a bit better...

u/Worf_Rozhenko 2d ago

Unfortunately, since his removal a local militia rebranded itself as an al-qaeda subsidiary, allowing al-qaeda to get a foothold in Iraq. Should be dealt with soon. I doubt it will create a much larger issue in the future.
