It was not a thing in the places I grew up in. But when I saw it working during a European visit, it blew my mind. That was 20 years ago.

I don't know how it is in other countries, but at least here in Germany teletext is still a thing and works on all the larger channels.

As someone who doesn't understand german, Devote sklavin für dich. Devote slave for you? And what's that korperl zuchtingung?

Körperliche Züchtigung: ~~bodily desires~~ edit: mistook with süchtig, actually means corporal punishment
Devote Sklavin für dich: you are correct
Fesseln+Knebeln: Bondage+gag
1,99€/Min.v.FN Mobil abw. -w-: ~~No idea~~ edit: $2.49/min. from landline, mobile varies [ad]

This is one of the more SFW pages actually. There are lots of pixelated nudes, as well as a cryptic page of colored rectangles, which you are supposed to scan with an app for the full AR experience and also buy as an NFT?
I didn't follow any of the links so all I saw was

"Heiße Uschi120+ bringt Dein Rohr ohne Vorspiel zum Glühen"

Wow

For non-German speakers: "Hot Uschi20+ will get your tube red hot without foreplay".

The phrase „Rohr zum Glühen bringen“ literally means "bring a tube to glow" and originated back when electronics used vacuum tubes. I'm not German so I have no idea how common it is today but I assume this bit is for an old audience.

Great find, I missed that.

This is bringing back memories. I never saw raunchy classifieds like this in Aus though.

This is one of the more SFW ones. You know what, I'll make an ImageMagick script to crop & aspect-ratio-correct the rest of the ones I took and upload them. Coming soon!

Edit: Imgur album, feel free to report as NSFW lol
- omg, the "SEX SEX SEX" sign is actually flashing
You can also view most German teletext services using their app for some reason

Teletext is a fun art form. Too bad the graphics are only really used for tarot and phone sex ads.

Anyway, here are some of my recreations of Czech cartoon characters using the online editor at edit.tf:

I have more but I am rate limited. Imgur album

It's at least 30 year old technology. Maybe older.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yup. I know because I grew up reading magazines with one article or two about it. It was neat to see it in person, though.
