The old internet was a wonderful place for learning.

And pain Olympics, but my rose coloured glasses are blocking that out right now.

Don't apologize. That pain is exactly why millennials are so much more tech literate than boomers and gen Alpha.

The pain Olympics made millennials tech literate?

I'm guessing they don't know what the Pain Olympics are, and interpreted it as a poetic description of the technical trials and tribulations of using the old Internet.

Wow I was thinking about that just the other day (I remember it as "BME pain olympics"). I wonder if it's still floating around out there? But TBH I don't want to know.

Yeah, it was Body Modification Enthusiasts or something?

I heard years ago it was all faked. Who knows? The trauma is real.

I mean there is always goatse. I showed my co-worker the original image since they didn’t know why there are memes about it now a day.

Eye bleach was used that day.
