    Well now I'll be thinking all day on the thought experiment of how one could actually prevent it, assuming they're only a US citizen.

    I guess you could send in an anonymous bomb threat on the morning for both towers, but that still wouldn't prevent the tragedy of all those onboard.

    We know where they went to flight school. Intercept and eliminate those hijackers. You will go to jail for murder, but you will change the course of history.

              Then start plotting buy/sell points for bitcoin and GME (don't want to risk forgetting those over the next 15-25 years)

                Lay in bed for a moment and listen to the tunes on my sweet Panasonic clock radio alarm before slapping the snooze button. Then suddenly wake up to realize I have a clock radio alarm again.

                  None of you said, "prevent 9/11." For shame.

                      No. It's the Chromebook/iPad generation. I feel like they don't truly understand the Internet or computers. Having used Windows 98 and onward, my friends and I had to really learn to troubleshoot and learn the innards of the system. Nowadays, everyone is in a protective shell like Chrome OS, iOS or Android. It's all dumbed down now. Simplicity isn't always good imo

                        I mean, I feel like that one has some cascading effects that really fucked things up for pretty much everyone on the planet, so if you ever find yourself hurled back in time, you might consider it.

                              I didn't go online when I first woke up. I often though would check see how my downloads did overnight. In 95 I was still using the local collage dial in.

                              At least, we had a leased line of 38400 bits per second for the whole department. 😉

                                    For a time around 1998-2000 I ran the internet connection for a multi county agency on one 56k dial up and squid proxy server. It worked and it worked pretty well. We did however love it when the local cable company finally rolled out two way cable internet.

                                      Apologies, I misread the tone of your comment. I thought you were jokingly saying dial up was fancy while you had to deal with AOL. I didn't read it as two different statements as I should have.
