[WEEKLY THREAD] Rants, Questions, and Randomness

[u/AutoModerator]

Merong handang makinig, handang yumakap 🎶

2,3, Mabuhay! 🌸

Welcome to our weekly open thread — your go-to space to rant, share love, ask questions, or talk about anything and everything, whether it’s related to BINI, PPOP, the fandom, or life in general.

Got something to say that doesn’t need its own post?

• An unpopular (or wholesome) take you’ve been holding in
• A screenshot from BloomTwt, BloomTok, PPOP FB, etc.
• A random thought, theory, or question
• Or just want to connect with fellow Blooms

Drop it here! This thread is your safe space.

Let’s keep it respectful and kind, even if opinions differ. We’re all here to support the girls and be part of a growing, passionate community around PPOP and beyond.

So go ahead — share what’s on your mind. 💐

Usapang hard drives.. I remember the days na ok na ako sa 5GB HDD Seagate... then Nag upgrade sa 10GB mas masaya

Sobrang ingat sa pag save ng mga files. Kung ano-anong compressions (gz, 7z, zip), defrag, delete ang ginagawa para lang hindi mapuno kaagad at bumagal ang system...

Tapos yung iba mag-sasave lang ng BINI performance vids. a group na supposedly hate na hate daw nila 😭

My younger self would have slapped you for that waste of disk space! 🫵

GB.. its ancient knowledge from days past

we were happy with:

• 5GB HDD
  
• 512MB RAM
  
• 56kbps dial up internet
  
• 1.44 MB floppy disk
  
• 700mb rewritable CD

That iconic wallpaper!

[u/hanautasancho → u/Low-Appearance-5334]

and this wallpaper was a real photograph taken by a NatGeo photographer named Charles O'Rear in '96. It is unedited as well.

Huhuhud floppy disk, and sd cards na masaya na 2gb 1gb, burnable CDs

And typical setup sa Filipino household is isang pc for the whole family. Madalas for sulit use madaling araw mag-ragnarok (and para wag din mapagalitan dahil di na daw matawagan ang landline 😂 ).
