Trust issues
(sh.itjust.works)

After a few seconds of this scenic view of a car driving down the road, a person in a mask or something abruptly appears and screams incredibly loud. I can’t remember if it’s the video or your friends that tell you to look very closely to see if you notice the “thing” to ensure you are properly jump scared.
The car goes out of view for a but and then fails to appear when you'd expect it to which draws your attention just before the face appears. It's subtle and devious.
Even just reading this description makes me kind of jumpy. That's how memorable that video was I guess.
In middle school I helped run the media stuff at my summer camp, audio and projector. We thought it would be really funny to show this one night after the talent show. We really cranked up the volume too.
I don’t think we officially got in trouble, but there were a lot of people that got pretty upset with us.
"Turn up the volume and listen to that engine purr"
Massive spoilers, you should just have provided the video to bring full context my friend!
"Screamers" were a popular trend in the 2000s for some reason.
This one and the maze game were so prevalent back then
Did you ever see the jump scare manga?
idk if this one does it but I'm sure this was the one.
It was definitely that comic, but it was hosted elswhere with a certain script to make the clicking and stuff happen.
I’m very suspicious of what you guys are saying but don’t want to check
The artist's website abuses the "click a link" clacking sound on a webpage. The entire comic is loaded and scrolls between panels. However for the jumpscare(s), it shudders and audibly clacks as it "rapidly clicks hyperlinks" to jump between frames. It's really neat effect and startling as shit. This page just hosts the comic. To confirm, in this link, you can not click between frames and just scroll with tye mouse ob the scrollbar down the right side.

God I fucking hated them with all of my guts as a child, caused me so much anxiety and fear. And then as an adult I've had the pleasure of people on the internet (mainly reddit) telling me they were just innocent pranks that nobody actually harbored any hate for or faced any negative consequences from.
Read the top comment before watching the video, so I was fully prepared for what was about to happen...didn't help and now my cat who was sleeping on me is this annoyed at me:
My tortie is also annoyed at you:
I'm glad to hear that, hope you have a great day
I'm so traumatized by that video that now, 17 or so years later, I had to carefully scroll your comment in case the picture you posted was the screaming face
I haven't seen it in years, and it was honestly great. Got a good jolt of adrenaline and then laughed my head off.
I may not be quite right in the head.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I stopped using the computer for months because I was scarred of the monitor. Happened to me when I was a kid. Ever since I check the like/dislike ratio on YouTube videos and avoid clicking on every links before making sure it's not a bait & switch. The 2000's Internet era was wild.
That was how I avoided so much goatse

I actually kinda miss the days of internet screamers (what we called jumpscares back then). Back when people just made stuff on the internet for shits and giggles. Granted the ghost car video is part of an ad series, but most screamers were just homemade videos or flash.
Thank you. I totally didn't remember what this meme was about and was very confused.
Back when people just made stuff on the internet for shits and giggles.
As opposed to?
For likes, subs, your personal data, or advertising eyeball time?
It was a time with a lot of "you're the 10th million visitor to this website, you're a winner" and "this is how to get a bigger dick" popups, and no adblockers.
People always pine for the "good old days" without realising they're just remembering (or imagining) things with a huge bias.
Yeah if you were a n3wb bitxh and not a 1337 h4x0r like me.
The internet was better 25-30 years ago. No rose glasses needed. It was the wild west, and now we're just hopping from walled garden to walled garden.
So you actually built yourself personal adblockers in 1994..?
"The internet was better in 1994, and I'm definitely not affected by nostalgia."
Oh cmon. That's peak nostalgia with no care to the realities.
The average person wouldn't last 3 minutes using a 14kbit modem trying to load some text based site which has a few hundred users.
What you're trying to do is basically the "I was there 3000 years ago" meme.
But I too, was there when it waa written.
And it definitely wasn't better.
Also you're on the fediverse complaining about this. The very idea already disproves your "walled garden" argument.
Not to mention the tor boards and telegram groups etc, which are definitely used at least as much as the internet was in 1994. Being on forums back then was probably more niche than having some combat footage and drug selling telegram groups. Groups where people aren't censored or limited while also having the tech and connection speed to instantly share high definition video from all around the world. Wirelessly.
If you managed to actually film something miraculous in 1994, or irrefutable evidence of some criminal activity by the police for example, where would you share it? You'd have to either make physical copies and hope the pirating network can get it out somewhere, as tv stations won't be showing your thing. It's not practical trying to actually share the video online in any shape or form. So you'd end up writing about it, hoping someone would believe your fantastical claims.
Which wouldn't happen.
No, the internet was not better 30 years ago. Guess you can feel like it's worse today if you use it like a b451c 81tch
You missed out one of the most overlooked phenomena: low resolution.
That's always what I find most confronting when using old system. There was a time when 640 x 480 was considered full screen resolution.

Unsurprisingly people don't desire to revisit the bad aspects of the past... It would be a bit odd if someone was like:
"wasn't it great back when the internet took 92 times longer to load, and there was no youtube?"
I mean, what kind of person are you imagening?
"I miss having Gonerea"...
...that'd be a weird kind of person no?
It doesn't mean they've forgotten those things.

I could be wrong, but I think it's a German commercial, coffee in a can. "You've never been this awake."
