I don’t think we’ve ever had them in the US. I think anyway, I could be wrong

jimothy-hard.bsky.social•206 days ago

We're rotting, grandpa! FACE IT!

Chat is this a safe space to say I didn’t know what the hell was an internet cafe before I saw this post…

spinodino.bsky.social•206 days ago

What is that again? This isn’t a joke I don’t know

candylure.bsky.social•206 days ago

It’s a type of cafe that provides free computers

They’re typically used to play StarCraft or League

LISTEN I DON’T GO OUT THAT MUCH MAN THEY’RE NOTHING HERE IN THIS WASTE LAND

gregthelion.bsky.social•206 days ago

It's a 'cafe' with a lot of computers you can rent hourly, wether it'd be for gaming or doing some work

spinodino.bsky.social•206 days ago

Ah I thought it was some internet club thing

gregthelion.bsky.social•206 days ago

Not really. People go in, they pay an hour or so to use their computer/internet and use it for work or gaming.

kaiserneko.bsky.social•206 days ago

A café to use the internet? But I already have a phone, Starbucks, and an overwhelming sense of shame.

Literally what is that, pencil wielder

*reduced to bones* 💀

superali9000.bsky.social•206 days ago

seriously tho, what is that exactly?

lifeless.bsky.social•206 days ago

I mean this in the most heartfelt way but that's a boomer statement in the year 2024

otakyoushi.bsky.social•206 days ago

They were non-existent where I lived. Hell, my finding out what they even were was GTAIV.

eagb.bsky.social•206 days ago

Not like most cafés don't have free internet nowadays.

gutofh.bsky.social•206 days ago

The years and allowance I’ve spent on them to play Age of Mythology is something I’ll forever cherish

saiyanfox21.bsky.social•206 days ago

I just took mental damage from that

kazuyaminegi.bsky.social•206 days ago

Oh yeah I know what those are
Never been to one but they seem cool, would be neat if I got the chance

btm00se.bsky.social•206 days ago

If it makes you feel better, I didn't see one until a few years ago, because we didn't have any where I lived to my knowledge. Going to the library for computers sure, but not a place specifically for computers.

corenappa.bsky.social•206 days ago

I feel myself aging rapidly upon hearing those words.

seezer.bsky.social•206 days ago

Oh...ow...

ludwigtails.bsky.social•206 days ago

That IS a thing common in Asia.

blueteam1138.bsky.social•206 days ago

I don't think I've ever heard of or seen an internet cafe in the US, but even I've heard of them.

axelegend.bsky.social•206 days ago

They did exist for awhile in Canada in the bigger cities in the early 00's but now they're just, y'now, Cafes.

thecreeperpasta.bsky.social•206 days ago

Oh, like The Simpsons?
