Growing up, I did all sorts of stuff on the internet and it was fun and exciting. You could discover something new every day and do something weird that you didn’t know was possible. It was a place to play, hack around and experiment. An exciting playground.
Then the suits started taking over and things became more boring, cookie cutter and stale. Pulling the same stunts as before could get you in serious trouble.
Nostr brings a tiny bit of the early internet joy back. Things like the autozapper- a seemingly useless tool, make the web fun again. Zapping across the world in an instant, cross-device, cross-platform feels magical. Same vibes as the early web. Every new update that introduces weird possibilities brings back some of that spark. You can zap lamps, zap to feed goats, zap someone a coffee, buzz some literal energy into their hands, as if reaching from across the world. The playground is back!
I don’t know where I’m going with this. It’s time to sleep 😴
Good night nostr 🫡
Keep on playing 🙏 🙇♂️
Good Night Nostr 😴

The 90s internet was exciting and yes nostr has some similar feels
fun AND powerful 😀 they didn't like it first time, they sure as hell won't like what is coming this time. let the people play.
Zap a lamp? Like receiving a zap could buy you electric time from a lamp? Interesting idea.
There is a zap lamp and if you zap it, it lights up. It’s on zap.stream
The early days hit different, Nostr gives me this feel too.
Hell yeah! Uno’s 80s!
Yeah! Doing it again tonight! Can't stop, always loved 80s music.
Have any song suggestions?

Oh man, did you hit the nail on the head with this post--I feel the same way -- "the magic is back".
Thanks for articulating this so well! This post truly made my day (and even that is somehow "magical")
😃
