I refuse to believe it. We didn't have Unicode back then and there is absolutely no way that upside down A, Japanese kana, and mathematical set operators all ended up in the same codepage.

From 1898 on a typewriter. ;)
Any medium can become a medium for art if you work hard enough :)
Hotlink a better quality image
Anyway, typewriter art is obviously still different from ASCII art/kaomoji because characters can be printed over each other, and a special button allows the cursor to move freely vertically, as opposed to ½/¼ line height (free horizontal positioning and rotation must be done by reloading the paper, which is why some typewriter art doesn't incorporate these).

I really miss how tacky and cute the internet was. Everything is so pretty and cool now but like... Not in a good way, its just bland.
In 1993 it might have been on a BBS and not the internet at all. :)
All BBSes were on the internet.
This is the most incorrect statement i’ve seen on the internet in a good while
I mean...
It's technically incorrect...
But not in, like, a metaphysical sense.
The point of the internet was to be global, which BBSs were not.
you can still do that you're allowed
But I'm not a web designer or website host 😔
that's why geocities came back :3
GeoCities went away and came back? I dont think I ever saw a GeoCities before present day. Its just a place where everyone can have one website and they are usually... Boldly designed, and personal. Right? I get why we need that now, but do you know more?
