  • Lol to the “back in the day porn was safer”. Back innthe day the worst stuff was openly distributed on normal porn sites. It was actually difficult not to stumble over illegal ot really disturbing stuff when browsing those sites. And don’t get me started on the stuff people send you on some irc servers unasked (that was more in the late 90s though).

    Even non porn sites could be bad. Like one time I was browsing a non-porn anime site and suddenly landed on a porn site that had me scared the police might kick in my door, despite closing it immediately after it opened.

    This, luckily, is a lot better regulated nowadays.

    I give you accessibility though. Having a internet connected computer in you pocket 24/7 might make things much worse.

    I think we are talking “boring” from an outside perspective.

    The 1950s saw the Korean war, the Algerian war for Independence (where France mass murdered hundred thousand of civilians), we saw the end of the first Indochina War and the beginning of the Vietnam War, we saw the revolution in Cuba, we saw the first hydrogen bombs, the soviet Luna 2 was the first spacecraft to land on the moon, the cold war really picked up, NASA and CERN were established, the polio vaccine was invented, and so on.

    The 1950s were far from boring for the world outside the US picked fence.
