Youtuber Retrocet has preserved the full symphony of dial-up modems in a compilation that takes us on a journey from the snail-paced 300 bps connections to the lightning-fast (at the time) 56K. Each shriek, screech, and static hiss is historically accurate, recorded with vintage laptops and authentic modems: basically, the mixtape of the early internet.

It’s the sound of chatrooms, AOL away messages, and your mom yelling at you to get off the computer so she could use the phone. Pure nostalgia, wrapped in static.

Ever wonder what happens when you combine kitchenware with fireworks? A man in China decided to turn his cooking pot into the Apollo Program, putting increasingly bigger firecrackers underneath it to see how high it could fly. Check it out!
