Yes, this is what people did back then

Two chicks at the same time
That feels easier now than then

Figure out how to set up a stock trading account with ameritrade, or whatever the ad for the talking baby who bought stocks was for, and invest in today's big companies. I'd invest like 10 bucks at a time, but keep doing it. Also? Buy some bitcoins.
Gonna have to wait a bit for those bitcoins.

Making actual phone calls‽ The horror!
Nice use of the interrobang!

Play with hot wheels and Transformers. Maybe take the afternoon and fold an entire ream of paper into airplanes, one design only, looking for small improvements on every crease, corner and pleat to create the perfect expression of that design.

Go into a lab and start researching time travel. Proving to scientist that I'm from the future shouldn't be that hard.
That's 29 years ago. Eeryone I know is as good as dead. I need to find a way to go back

Ah yes, spend 30 minutes to download an image and print it out on your dot matrix printer to hide for use when you can't access the computer.
I'm just arguing here - but dot matrix was mostly irrelevant at that point. Inkjet, bubblejet, and laser jet existed.

Unfortunately the Pentium 60 botches your blockchain with some bad floating point operations.
Hell, json is 6 years off at this point. XML is 1 year off. Soap? Years off still... Like no formal web based apis existed.
Man - I'd hit up geocities or something.

depends on what day of the week it is. if it's a weekday then I turn on the TV and watch like Power Rangers or whatever was on during Fox Kids Mornings. Or if i'm in my bedroom where I didn't have cable then bleh had to watch Global (Canada) and it was carebears or inspector gadget or something in the mornings. OR just put on the Genesis/SNES.
If it's Saturday then I'm up early to go to the basement to watch cartoons all morning.
it was way better back then.

Assuming I'm the same age I am today, probably the same thing
Wake up, morning constitutional, coffee, bong-rip, check the server.

[Imagine] you wake up in 1995. [There's] no wifi [and] no cell phones. [What's] the first thing you do?
you've omitted "just." If "just" were not in the sentence I would have instinctively filled it in with the missing words you've suggested. But I can't reconcile "just" with any parse.

Do you run a BBS?

Do you run a BBS?
I run a couple of services. A blog for my partner, a media server (farfetched but certainly possible in 1995), as well as a matrix server.
I'm certain I'd be doing similar things in 1995. Based on my personality there's no way I wouldn't have gotten into that type of computing.

True. English isn't my native language and I thought about this, but it somehow just makes sense in my head. The way the "just" is used reminds me of the Modalpartikel we have in German. They're basically filler words that add nuance, emphasis or expectation to a sentence.
Sometimes people ask "Just why?", and that's a bit different than only "Why?", because it adds a sense of confusion or urgency to the question.

Have a long and frustrating wank to Cosmopolitan because I'm a teenager and haven't figured out I can just walk into a newsagent and buy a copy of Penthouse.

AOl, or the BBS's that I was a member of.

AOL was dial-up.
Of course it was. I had it.

Dial into my local BBS and play some door games.
