I’m shocked that wasn’t an option
It’s the “radio” option, they just haven’t updated the form in 40y
Online & email didn’t exist 40 years ago

The internet didn’t exist at this time, but those two words did, and referred to their pre-internet equivalents.
Also, I was making a joke. But you do happen to be incorrect.
IPv4 is 43 years old, and there was the arpanet before that. They probably meant Usenet with the term “online”. The first E-Mail was sent in 1971.
Bit tbh, I am quite impressed how early the YMCA adopted.

Isn’t that an oval?
In the right coordinate system it becomes a circle…

Too real. I only found out that YMCA is a real thing a few years ago.
I had to read up on it just now. The abbreviation stands for “Young Men’s Christian Association” and apparently, it’s about as gay as it sounds, which the song celebrates.
The Village People strongly assert that there was nothing homosexual intended in their song or music video.
*~Gay as in cheerful and happy~.
I’m sure they do. I’m also sure they’re giggling about it too.
Is that really what it is? Shit I thought… well now that I think on it I’m not sure what I thought but not that. Some place with a pool and various physical activities.
That’s mostly it, it’s got a gym, pools, basketball court, some have workout classes some have prek classes, and after-school activities for kids
Well it was originally designed as a charitable organization to, among other things, provide temporary housing for homeless young men.
Funny thing though, it turns out the way a lot of young men ended up being homeless was bigoted Christian parents kicking them out for being gay.
How have never heard that song? It is everywhere!
They meant they only found out the YMCA organization was real recently, they thought it was just a song at first.
Smh my head
@snooggums@kbin.social Perhaps we need to bring over the Old Reddit Switch-a-roo.

Technically I heard about it on the radio and The Village People simultaneously.
Ohhh the song I was thinking about that scary movie about the villagers and someone being dressed in red. Man, that’s embarrassing.
