By my hand, I will take you from this godforsaken internet
my mom gave me a loving dragon's hoard of dot matrix paper when she moved a couple years ago; my kids had a blast taping a hallway-length of it down and going nuts making art a couple of times before my daughter decided pulling all the edges off of it and leaving them all over the house was way more interesting, which is when it mysteriously disappeared overnight

Wow, must have been nice to have a printer. I had to copy everything by hand. Graph paper was the poo poo for dungeon maps.
I was playing a game that didn't autogenerate maps (I didn't realize that it also randomized maps for each save) and was carefully drawing out a map by hand. My daughter wandered by and said "Wow, old-school!"

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

This one is a reporter for the CBC (think BBC with slightly less pedophiles and no actual good shows). The new arm is pretty good though, and JM can be a good follow if you're interested in Canada stuff.

I think this is being forgotten by history. I sometimes see depictions of old phone modem sounds but not the dot matrix printer noise. They were incredibly loud. I think if you tell someone too young to remember them that printers used to be very loud, they will still imagine something much, much quieter than the absolutely cacophony of a dot matrix printer. Fortunately they were also extremely slow and had a lot of paper jams.

We had a daisy wheel printer for ages as it was fine for text stuff and very fast but it was the loudest thing. Imagine a mechanical type writer except it hammers at about 60 characters per second
