There’s actually an internet phone booth near here that you can still use.
I mean, when was the last time you saw a payphone out in the wild? I can tell you it’s been at least a decade for me.
there was one at a college I saw. The phone part had been ripped out :/
There’s a regional chain of gas stations around me that has a payphone and a road map posted on the wall just inside the door of every location, just in case someone is having a really bad day.
There was one that worked up until a few years ago that was in the middle of the Mojave somewhere. Decades ago someone posted the phone number somewhere online, and people started calling it all the time just to see if anyone answered. They finally decommissioned it not too long ago

E: this episode is from 10 years ago so I guess its been longer than I thought
Especially outside and with the phone book holder too!
Oooh, I forgot about the phone book holders haha
I actually saw one a few months ago, it didn’t work 😔.
Big sad.
I mean, I’m over 30 and I never used a payphone in my life
Better bring that shit back for those of us that plan to shun technology in the future
Yes, down with technology! If all-natural, organic payphones were good enough for our hunter-gatherer ancestors, they’re good enough for us.
Is this the set of The Matrix?
