Big fat phony... lol

I am old enough to have seen the evolution of personal computers and gaming consoles.

I was 6 when I got my first gaming system, the Atari Pong, brand new in the box and only out for about a year at that point.

I was 15 when Windows 1 came out and haven't had to use DOS since.

So forgive me if I couldn't remember what direction the slash leans, I was 15 when I started smoking weed and have smoked a lot since then so some things that have no impact on my life today like the way a slash goes / or \ in DOS is not a priority in my memory bank lol

The internet is for jokes, man, it's ok. Okay it's for porn. But there's jokes, too.

/ is superior, anyway. Microsoft can keep their weird escape slash thing.

It's called backslash.

Thank you, I was about to throw my phone, which given my age probably would have broken a joint somewhere
