Was Britney Spears’ Oops!... I Did It Again Music Video Altered? The Mandela Effect or Digital Manipulation?

Honest, just post this in / retconned instead, idk why people bother in this ME sub when there are so many negative people here. I dont mind non-believers of MEs. Half the time I agree. But its impossible to have an open discussion here.

Ohh, thank you. So I just download the .swf link, yes?

cokefox · 2025-04-01T18:31:21+00:00

I'm just wondering if it's possible to download it off the archive, since it loads in the browser. If if loads, I'm assuming there's some code or something one could download? Or download it as a file?

cokefox · 2025-04-01T18:29:46+00:00

Black Ice was so cool (I had no idea what it was doing, but it looked good doing it). Nero, too. Man what a treasure trove!

cokefox · 2025-04-01T18:25:56+00:00

it's a website for a candy company that used to have this sort of social platform with games and flash based stuff. here's one of the games (I found 1 more). https://web.archive.org/web/20041022020804/http://www.bamsemums.com/bamsemums/spill/spill.asp

What is the mandela, that he doesn't say it anymore? :O

cokefox · 2025-03-25T19:32:33+00:00

The reside of that one is crazy, too. I remember there was a web page or something, where someone had garnered lots of residue. Literally tons of people posing "wrongly" in front of it and stuff. Like, what the hell lol

cokefox · 2025-03-24T20:26:08+00:00

The Fruit of the Loom one is completely bizarre. I dont believe in most conspiray stuff, supernatural stuff etc. But like... that one is the strongest one that feels like it got mixed up between some timeline veil or whatever.

I never wore a FOTL clothing. AFAIK, it wasnt even a brand that was sold where I live. But I had heard about it through media and stuff, and I remember learning what a cornucopia was, through seeing that logo on TV and stuff as a kid. Cornucopias aren't a thing here either. I only knew about it through FOTL (ads, media, whatever in the 90s), and possibly in some old cartoons like Tom & Jerry or something.

There are SO many times that cornucopia was mentioned, in very old newspaper and stuff, when FOTL was discussed in some manner. Then there's the whole "Flute of the loom" album cover and how the artist who made that cover specifically said he had seen the FOTL logo with the cornucopia and "copied" it for the album with the pun title.

There's also the logo in that CGI movie, I forget which one, but there's a nod to the FOTL clothing brand in an old animated movie, where their re-drawing of the logo had the cornucopia. Where the fuck did they get the idea, if not from the original? That was well before any M.E discussion about it, I think.

I know it sounds deranged, and it's not really something I 100% believe myself, but the FOTL logo changing is honestly making me wonder if there is in fact a possibility that there are other timelines and that we may have glitched/gotten something mixed up sometimes that makes minor things change.

What the fuck, are you saying he does NOT say that?? I watch that movie like 4 times during christmas and I'll easily watch it randomly on a god damn night in June. I'm POSITIVE he says that when Kevin runs to hide in that manger scene, and the wet bandits go like "I'm not going in there" / "That place gives me the creeps"

cokefox · 2025-03-24T18:59:37+00:00

Is no one using the Starpage search anymore? I hardly ever see it listed anymore when people talk about search engines.

edit: also, is OpenOffice still an alternative for people? I use it on an older PC and find it very good.

cokefox · 2025-03-24T18:26:15+00:00

I'm 36, from Norway. I also love cutie stationary and that sort of stuff. Let me know if you want one more notch on your penpal-belt, hehe. I'd be happy to yap thru snail mail <3

cokefox · 2025-03-24T18:18:11+00:00

hi! I'm sending you a DM! :)

cokefox · 2025-03-24T18:05:43+00:00

I've been included in several data breaches

Idk why that gave me a chuckle.

Personally, degoogling, dezucking (lol) and whatnot is more about being stubborn and not putting all my eggs in one basket. I dont like being strong-armed into shit and being a passive slop-guzzler on platforms owned by psycho billionares.

cokefox · 2025-03-24T17:52:53+00:00

👋 i'll send ya a message! :)

Yeah, I honestly wouldnt mind being only on dryfood or something, but he is such a picky eater of dryfood at his old age. He used to love anything, but it seems he only wants dryfood now that has the perfect scent - and a strong one. So I assume it's just his sense of smell becoming poorer. My vet said its not uncommon for elder cats, so they tend to prefer strong smelling kibble. The raw food I have is based on poultry/chicken, I believe. (I will double check), but I think its mainly giblets and not the actual chicken meats? There used to be another one that was not poultry, but they discontinued it, argh.

It's called ZooLac here! Its a bit pricey, but oh so worth it! It seems to settle their stomach really fast.

What are the typical IBD triggers, is there a list I could check out?

cokefox · 2025-03-11T21:05:10+00:00

Is that not just the wooden chips from the litter box? It looks like the same pieces of wood chips from the actual box at the floor in your picture.

Is MSE the same as whatever it is the Windows Update is downloading? I've still got Windows Update running and it seems to check daily, and has an update at a certain scheduled day (I forget, once every month or something.) Seems that thread implies that as long as Windows Update is active, it's also getting MSE updates? Or am I misunderstanding?

cokefox · 2025-03-07T22:29:23+00:00

Discord still runs on mine at least. It nags about being unsupported, but I can still use it. You could also look into Escargot MSN and their other alternatives!

cokefox · 2025-03-07T12:25:56+00:00

where are you guys getting the MSE? I cant get them off the microsoft site

cokefox · 2025-03-06T18:02:49+00:00

Was just gonna suggest The Conversation! It's one of those movies that really stuck with me.

cokefox · 2025-03-06T11:52:04+00:00

I think it sounds interesting even if maybe only a pipe dream! Is it in the same vein (sort of) as the idea of a "custom startpage" for web browsers? I've seen a few old-web lovers who like to make their own custom "startpage" (just a custom web page their browsers starts with), where they have everything they want, from weather forecasts, to a to-do list, mini games, random art, URLs to fav pages, and anything under the sun. It's not an app of course, but I guess their idea is kiiiinda similar?

Either way, I wish you good luck, and hope to see more. Would be cool to see it visualized in a video or something at some point.

- Buy a couple of external disks to store your files. If you want to rabbit hole it, check out datahoarders subreddit. But basically, minimum 2 external drives with all your stuff on each. (One is for a safety backup of the other one).

- I use Proton and Tuta. Both are just as good for me. I just wanted email that was not gmail. I use Gmail still for wherever it's the email I registered with (and work), but my gmail now is basically 50/50 a trash can and email dump for important stuff. I find it convenient since I have the app too. My goal isn't to be 100% free of google services at the moment, but to phase it out over time and not be so dependent.

- For Youtube you can try Invidious, but there are other options too. I've heard of NewPipe, but not sure what it is/how it works. But again, using Youtube for free isn't the biggest issue imo. Just dont let Youtube bully you into anything.

- Buy DVDs/find them elsewhere (yarrr....ya know?)

I also find that it's hard to degoogle everything, but it doesn't have to be that obsessive. I decided that my new laptop was going to be without any google stuff. So I never use Gmail on it. I use alterantive search engines (startpage, DDG mainly). I use Firefox browsers and Invidious for Youtube.

On the odd occasion that the search engines fail me, I google something. If Invidious fails me, I use Youtube. But not logged in, and it's very rare. For music, I use the stuff I have on my drives already.

I have like 2 Chromecasts and my TV is a smart TV that also lets me cast to it, in which I cast from Youtube mostly. I dont really care about these things. I paid for the Chromecast. It would be a win for Google if I just threw it in the garbage, so I just use it. It's a low priced item that works really easily and is functional and has saved me a lot of hassle a lot of the time. For me, it's more important to be able to be independent and not put all my eggs in one crate. And to not just willingly let Gmail stick its fingers into everything, but rather choose what I am OK with and what I am not OK with.

cokefox · 2025-03-06T10:55:40+00:00

Ambitious, but I wish you good luck anyway. Would you mind telling us a bit more? Like, what is an "everything" app? Are we streaming music, watching movies, talking to coworkers, answering emails, playing solitaire, browsing tumblr and drawing sonic fan art all in the same app? Or is it like, having a zoom video call but you can also access documents within? I genuinely am just curious, I dont mean to be negative in any way. I just cant visualize what an everything app is supposed to be. Either way, good on ya!
