What do you think you're the last of?

I don’t understand—you think you’re one of the last people left who started using the internet in the 90s?
I think what OP is trying to say is that people in their age range will end up being the last of those people, ie. the internet was one of their earliest memories and that happened to be right as it took off. A similar example from my age range, we will probably be the last to remember the WTC attacks as they happened. It's one of the earliest memories I have. Not me specifically, unless I am graced with an incredibly long life, but someone around my age who is.

That is pretty funny.
I also used to bring a micci of rye with me on these runs. I generally run with my running backpack, and I’d pull out the rye and take a shot and pull out a smoke and light it, all as im running, and keep going. It always got at least one laugh and one “wtf” from the other runners.

I am probably the last of the group of people that were some of the early adopters of the internet. The internet didn't fully become public and more accessible until 1994, I didn't start using the internet until 1996. I am nearing 30 years old on the internet by next year. People from my group, we've seen it all by this point.
We've seen the internet at it's infancy, as it developed, the explosion of it's usage, the dot com bubble burst, Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Flash's death and the ongoing enshittification of the internet today as we know it.
i'm not sure i understand the question. if it is meant to ask what experience i've had that no other living person has or ever will experience again, then i'm probably not old enough in my mid 30s to lay any such claim. this doesn't seem likely to be what you mean though, since it should be obvious to you that you aren't the only surviving person who used the internet in the 90s.
my second interpretation of the question would be that you want to know what experience i am the most recent person to have experienced, which would work with your example, if you consider the 'early' internet to have ended and become the regular internet, right after you first got online. for that, a couple hours ago, i walked atop a particular out of the way concrete block wall on my way home. probably nobody has done that since then.

Oh lol, you tried sounding smart there.
You've only sourced what is essentially a step of development for the internet. Do you even read?
I just can't imagine bragging about being unique for having been middle/upper middle class in the 90s.

My familial line. Sorry nerds, the buck stops here. I'm not gonna force anyone else into this hellscape against their will. If I ever adopt, they can keep their familial names.
Same here! Only child of my adopted parents and only kid my birth parents had together so, I'm ending a couple of lines. I'm the god parent of a few niblings but if (God forbid) they should ever become my responsibility, they're not getting a name change.

I think my wife and I might be one of the last couples to be embarrassed enough about meeting on the Internet to lie about it. When we talk about how we met around our niblings, we always have to explain that "we met on the Internet back when that was something you lied to your friends about"

Niblings. There's a word I've never heard before. I'm guessing it means niece or nephew. I like it.

Yeah, my wife found it somewhere online a while back. Not having kids ourselves, we end up talking about our niblings a lot but we always felt like the phrase "nieces and nephews" was a bit cumbersome in conversion so, it filled a need for us. I keep hearing it from people that have no connection to us so it seems like we're not the only ones who've latched onto in recent years.

Family line. I did want kids for a while, but lacking a willing partner, and seeing the state of the world, that isn't happening.

Posted the same thing and saw your answer. Great minds, eh?

As they stated it became accessible to the average person in 1996. Prior to that you would be lucky if their was a local ISP offering access to the internet.
I worked at several engineering companies in 1991 onward, and even though we had high end systems and tech back then we didn't get Internet and email until 1996. And initially it was useless because your clients didn't all have email yet.peers very confusedly from fredmail

I'm probably one of the last people who still uses Paint Tool Sai 1 to draw. Every other artist I know who used to use it has since either moved on to Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, or Paint Tool Sai 2 haha.
