It was even worse in the 90s/00s - on Windows, the IE browser icon was literally labeled “The Internet”

iirc there was a story in The Onion about someone who “accidentally deleted The Internet” on their Windows system and the whole Internet stopped working. They were so sorry, maybe it was in the Recycle Bin, there was still hope for the world, lol

There’s this: [All Online Data Lost After Internet Crash | The Onion](https://youtu.be/lvpuT3aoypE?si=UI8wTzkNXdEKMO4x) which is pretty funny but doesn’t contain the idea of moving the internet into the trash bin… I feel like I remember that from somewhere too though

This, Jen...is The Internet.

Had a kid suspended for changing the icons on the Mac computers at school. He jsut wanted them to be prettier and was a wiz at pixelart.

Teacher claimed he hacked the computer because she couldn’t find icon and refused to admit she was wrong. Everyone hated her. Wonder why….

Any way kid became a legend after the suspension.
