ASCII art was truly peak humanity.
84This isn’t ascii. There are several Unicode characters in there.
Which means this image probably isn’t from 1993.

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.
82In 1993 it might have been on a BBS and not the internet at all. :)
29Well... I was born after that. Even the internet I used had, well, this meme for example. ASCII art was common even when Twitch released in... 2010? The internet I used growing up in the late 2010s was still so inherited from whatever was stable enough to last through the 2000 dotcom bubble or release just after.

From 1898 on a typewriter. ;)
Any medium can become a medium for art if you work hard enough :)
53Hotlink 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).
32holy shit thank you, I was about to ask why they uploaded a goddamn thumbnail lol

This really feels like it is proof of time travel
30Is that a Toyota Supra MK3?
27Murder Missile for Gran Turismo 4
7Probably the most powerful car you can get on GT1 for less than 10k

5Omg you have quite the eye, lol! I had an '89 turbo for a while... I loved that car <3
5Yooo is that a Supra?

5I fucking love this
3I 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.
