!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

TIL Bing was launched in 2009. That can't be right.

So the comment I'm replying to could be right on the money.

Bing was just a rebrand, Live/MSN Search was a thing for a decade or so at that point.

Yeah but the minimum wage call center employees who likely aren't even in the US, didn't have this issue as part of their script, so they didn't care.
