Cue the Quadruple Facepalm Exploding Heart trick. 
Have you ever tried to actually fuck your PC or Phone? What if I made a device that sensed happiness from message boards and you could use it like a dildo but it only goes off when you get sudden enjoyment from the internets?
You're gonna love this. The original dialup BBS scene, decades before the public Internet. Uuuuuunnnnngh!
At 9:50, they interview Ward Christensen, who wrote the first BBS program, CBBS, and created the XMODEM protocol.
Coincidentally, I've been studying XMODEM the past few days in conjunction with some WiFi adapter software I'm writing for use with my Commodore 64 and Radio Shack computers. I'm kind of doubting I'll encounter the kinds of problems XMODEM was invented to solve, but it's good to know about it just in case. The adapter will have a telnet client, since most of the old school dialup BBSs have switched to telnet now.

17:58 Philip "Pud" Kaplan founded Fucked Company in 2001 as a death pool for dot com startups. The message board was phenomenally popular. It was the first anon board I posted on. It closed in 2005. I wrote and operated an FC spinoff board for a little while in 2007 or thereabouts.
Most of the funny and clever posters left the FC spinoffs a long time ago. For the past 10 years or so, it's been mostly assburgers, racists, and old farts reliving the golden age of FC by regurgitating tired old memes and gossip about people who haven't posted in many years.

Sort of like this, except I'm using a credit card-sized Linux computer for the WiFi modem. Yeah, I'm gonna put a whole BBS on it too while I'm at it.

I will easily hack you with my Eproms.
Start -> Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off
Please wait... (and wait and wait and wait)
Check the box next to "Telnet Client" and click OK
Wait some more. You'll get tired of waiting, so do something else while you wait.
Start -> Search programs and files
Type:
cmd.exe and click the console icon when it appears in the search results
In the console window, type:
telnet 64.121.86.229 9000
That's it. You're connected to an old school BBS.

Mac phags:
In Finder, go to Applications -> Terminal
Type telnet and the address and port number as above.
Linux phags:
? which telnet
If there's no response, you'll have to install it with whatever package manager your system uses. For Debian:
? apt-get update
? apt-get install telnet
Then type telnet and the address and port number as above.
I have a deeply romantic attraction to smokin' hot message board operators. I'm touching myself right now.

You are having a martini in the morning?
I haven’t had a martini ever. I don’t drink.

Because of that time when you did, that you can't forget?
I feel like I may have had a martini once and was surprised at how bad it sucked. But I can’t honestly say for sure whether that really happened. The maritinis are the ones with the olive on a little stick right? LOL... I feel like took a sip and was grossed out and then went for the olive and was like “Wow, it even made the olive suck.”
I've never had a martini either, but I can tell you that the only way to make gin palatable is to mix it with orange and mango juice.

Oh I know you were blind drunk once 20 beers drunk at 8 in the morning.
Be careful for what you wish for.

Modern versions of Windows no longer support ANSI graphics. The file ANSI.SYS still exists, but it isn't used by the Windows console. To get ANSI back, you need to install Ansicon.
Download: https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon/downloads
Installation instructions: http://softkube.com/blog/ansi-command-li...er-windows
When visiting a BBS with ANSI graphics, it will ask if your terminal supports them. Just say yes, and you'll see something like this:

Now, if you really don't want to bother with enabling telnet, installing Ansicon, etc., due to incuriosity, laziness, or whatever, there's an easier way to visit telnet BBSes. The aforementioned Telnet BBS Guide site has an embedded ANSI terminal right on the webpage! To connect to the Void BBS, just scroll down to the bottom of this page and click Connect.
