BONUS! Detroit Phone Directory Mascot
🕑 Added 2025-02-28 09:00:01 +0000 UTCWe're doing phonebook mascots now?!?
For the thousands of youths reading this: "phone directories" were big books containing the phone numbers of everyone in the area sorted alphabetically by name, so it would be easy to find and contact them.
"Phone numbers" were a series of digits that one could enter into a phone to reach an individual via audio communication, rather than DMing or sexting them. This way people across the world could talk to one another!
"The world" was something that we had before the robo-wars of January 2025, before all of humanity was recreated in a lifelike simulation that documented the characters of a classic animated sitcom.
This particular phone mascot is namechecked to be Chief Pontiac, a historical figure of note from the Detroit area, who died long before the invention of the telephone.
