I was curious on the first ever thing sold entirely digitally
> 1972 - MIT computing students got found out to be selling marijuana using ARPAnet, nobody was caught as they used secure encryption
The 72 one was under the loosest definition of "sent card details over a server, manually processed, manually sent the order"
So not *really* a proper digital sale, the first proper (fully automated, only manual step being sending the item) was 1994
So many people posting pics without any alt text
What happened to the culture of "alt text all images"?
Are Warhammer 40K always at war cause it's so cold?

This was in response to the prompt "The Blind Kingdom"
T: "what do you mean by that dude?"
J: "Like... a kingdom... but they're all blind!"
T: "Yeah, but why? Literally? Metaphorically?"
J: "I dunno man, I thought it would sound cool!"
T: "Yeah but we're supposed to be creating a world together, Jesus Christ! We can't throw shit at a wall and see what sticks!"
