Found out my local library archives old internet flame wars... seriously
I was looking up a local history project for my neighborhood and stumbled into the library's digital archives where they kept screenshots of old forum meltdowns from the 90s. One thread had a guy going off about how Tamagotchis were the downfall of society and 200 people jumped in to argue for 3 years straight. Has anyone else found weird internet history buried in their town's records?

Wow, are you kidding me? That sounds like a total waste of time and server space for something nobody should care about. Those old flame wars are just embarrassing garbage that doesn't deserve to be preserved for anyone.

Oh great, guess my cringey teenage rants are getting memory-holed too.
