Bought this lineman's (guys that climb poles) phone for five bucks at the Habitat for Humanity store. No idea what to do with it (I haven't had a landline for a decade) but the 70s-80s sci-fi aesthetic is wonderful. I can just imagine picking it up and hearing Han Solo's death star intercom conversation coming out. Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

I'm amazed that this is probably one of the most popular posts I've ever made on Mastodon. I was really wondering if anybody would take notice of it at all!
@jstevenyork This is THE social network for old nerds and other folk who appreciate old hardware 
Plus you threw a Star Wars reference in there for good measure, so ... yeah.

After being trained by the algorithm, seeing what real humans are interested in can feel disorienting.
Also, masto is hella nerdy.
