    “Permanently removed from the internet forever.” Once it’s on the internet, it’ll be there till the day you die.

        It’s always sad. I read a bit about hobby gameboy game development and a few sites where stilll up, but a lot of links where dead. A few tools just disappeared with all download links dead.

          You’re saying that the native Americans were right, that photographs capture a part of your soul, and so when you die, the photographs die with you!

          (I understood what you said the first time, i just felt like being a bit of a silly goose)

      Unless you actually want it scrubbed.

      I’m reminded every year on my Facebook memories of this fact when I posted the Donald Trump Oprah interview where he said he’d run as a Republican because they’re the dumbest voters and we had a long conversation about it in my feed, and the video is removed. And every instance of it is gone. And snopes has a fake fact check on it, claiming it was from a magazine and was false. And people have discussions about it being a Mandela effect thing.

      Except we quote it in our conversations on my old Facebook post.

      The internet is not a bastion of unfettered memory that cannot be manipulated. That whole thing shattered that illusion for me.
