I simultaneously laughed, cried, and shook my fists at the screen. This is hysterical and depressing at the same time.
I scored 8/28 on https://jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

I scored 14/21 on https://e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.
@paco stopped reading about email formats with RFC 822, and while I am sure things have changed since then, I'm relieved not to have to know the details.

email isn't easy. it's "simple". SMTP. not at all the same.
@paul_ipv6 My favourite #email address was 👉@👈

@paul_ipv6 My first email address wasn't an Internet address at all. There was a network of computers called BITNET in the 1990s and my University was on it. So my email address was basically PACO@WMVM1.
We got connected to the Internet (by a 1.5Mbit T1 line! Amazing!) my sophomore year.
ah BITNET. all sorts of email that wasn't "internet". bunch of places including UUNET did gatewaying.
