I Want the Old Internet Back

Posted on March 13th, 2026 by Hitstun

Hi, all. It’s been two years since my last post here, and the mainstream corporate–owned Internet sucks now. It’s ruining everything. I can’t even read the news anymore without disabling JavaScript.

About 1 liter of helium per gram of lift. To his credit, he says that right at the start, so it’s not clickbait. Anyway, I’d be remiss if I let this popular video go unmentioned here. We just found out about the Aéroplume in France which lets visitors strap into giant balloons and fly them […]
