Hi5 was *extremely* popular in Jamaica before Facebook managed to get its foothold in around 2009. It's a core memory from my time in 7th and 8th grade.

Image with text at the top that reads: "Wayback Machine Then and Gone" and "HI5.COM". Below are Wayback Machine captures of the landing pages of the Hi5 website from June 9, 2004, alongside one from September 26, 2025.
Hi5 was an early social platform, launched in 2003. Americans mostly ignored it. Big in Latin America & Southeast Asia with tens of millions of users at its peak, today it’s mostly social games & dating.

Enough with the “that wasn’t on my bingo card” the bingo card has been on fire for the past two years and before that it had cocaine lines on it. Bitch, the bingo card is a cursed portal to hell at this point in time.

These fires are a direct result of a warming & drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels.
We are in a climate emergency.
The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this
