SURE GRANDMA, LET'S GET YOU TO BED
This Reddit Thread About The Things Only Internet Veterans Remember Will Make You Feel Ancient
Does it sometimes feel like you're getting too old for the internet?
These days, technology moves at lightning speed — and some of our favorite websites that we all take for granted are here today, gone today. We barely got a chance to say goodbye to Vine, Meerkat and Yahoo Answers. Heck, even the "all my apes gone" tweet is already more than a month old and people are still trying to figure out what that means.

Redditor The_watcher_100 quizzed the r/AskReddit community about some of the things that only "internet veterans will remember" and it sent many folks on a wondrous trip down memory lane, as people listed off some of their most beloved antiquated bric-a-brac from the early web.
