and lovebugs in real life were actually like these slow low flying bugs that you could totally catch super easily (and they were always mating so you'd get two lol)
but teachers were not really knowledgeable about computers and especially not about the internet yet, so they would freak the fuck out when we kiddos would be out trying to catch lovebugs cuz they thought the lovebug virus was a people illness and we would catch it

anyways it's hilarious to look back on how easily folks were freaked the fuck out via the internet not even 30 years ago.
omggg thats gold
yea, and it was so easy to get viruses too. i remember downloading something that was like bandoo/tamboo something something emojis to use on msn but it was a very annoying virus and it was the family computer lmao
now its so normal to not be stressed about that anymore, like downloading shit online is not as spicy as it used to be
