Mess with this hilarious fake emulation of Seinfeld's 1993 Macintosh

Seinfeld lovers the world over would instantly recognize the sight of Jerry Seinfeld’s small, off-white Mac from 1993, a machine which sat woefully unused for the majority of the television series.

Now, with the help of a hilarious parody Twitter account called Seinfeld2000, users can finally explore a comedic emulation of the computer from the famed sitcom, complete with desktop, photos, and other hilarious links and documents.

The parody site features the classic black-and-which checkered background and home screen formatting as Jerry’s real-world Mac. And though functionality is limited on the virtual device, the internet emulation does offer many quirky hidden gems for modern day users.

The clickable internet search history tab, for example, reveals some hilarious queries. Jokes here range from episode-related humor like a search for “Saab parts,” to comedic and inane Seinfeld-exclusive questions like, “Can you get an STD if your girlfriend drops her toothbrush in the toilet and you kiss her?” and, “What if there was a referee for marriages?”

Links in the music folder take users to YouTube, where they get an 8-bit version of The Eagles’ Desperado, the Seinfeld Theme, and Will Smith’s iconic Gettin Jiggy With It. The comedian’s trash folder includes files called “Newman,” “Carrot Top,” “Friends,” and “Donald Trump.” Other functions include being able to read a first draft of the Bee Movie script, and a GIF of Elaine hidden in his “boring tax forms” folder.

Overall, the page is an interesting amalgamation of Seinfeld nostalgia and Seinfeld2000’s hilariously-misspelled Twitter page, and is well worth a look for those who enjoy the classic series — or those who have a Hulu Plus subscription and are making their way through the show for the first time.

For more of Seinfeld2000’s ongoing Seinfeld humor, we suggest that you follow the account on Twitter.

The 10 most popular movies on Netflix right now
A woman points a gun and stares.

Netflix is one of the most popular streaming services in the world, with nearly 250 million subscribers. And just what do those people tend to watch? In particular, what is the most popular movie on Netflix? Each week, the streaming service releases a list of its 10 most-watched movies over a recent seven-day period to keep subscribers in the loop regarding its most popular titles.

Zack Snyder is back in the top 10 with Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver, the second film in his space opera series. Despite Snyder's popularity, the new Rebel Moon film could not unseat What Jennifer Did, which is the No. 1 movie for the second straight week. New additions to the top 10 include the comedy Knocked Up at No. 8 and the action movie Anna at No. 2. Below, we've listed the top 10 movies in the U.S. from April 15 to April 21, along with general information about each film, such as genre, rating, cast, and synopsis.

Deadpool & Wolverine: Everything we know about the film formerly known as Deadpool 3
Deadpool and Wolverine stand together in Deadpool & Wolverine.

In retrospect, we should have suspected that Deadpool & Wolverine wouldn't keep its most famous co-star out of the title. In 2022, Ryan Reynolds coaxed Hugh Jackman into reprising his role as Wolverine for the first time since 2017's Logan. Once that happened, the name Deadpool 3 didn't fully convey how monumental this film would be.

So Marvel Studios has officially retitled it as Deadpool & Wolverine. Jackman has also humorously rebranded the film as Wolverine & [expletive], which would make this R-rated flick a lot harder to market!

5 years ago, Game of Thrones aired its last great episode. Here’s why it still holds up
Jamie knights Brienne in episode 2 of Game of Thrones season 8.

Many fans would likely agree that Game of Thrones went out not with a bang, but a profound whimper. After dominating pop culture for nearly 10 years, the hit HBO series concluded with a trio of episodes that were universally reviled by both fans and critics alike. The show's lackluster, ham-fisted finale led to its popularity seemingly vanishing into thin air. In the five years since it aired, time hasn't been kind to Game of Thrones season 8.

To this day, many people still discuss the series' final season with a mix of bitterness and disbelief, and those fans won't find any disagreement about the quality of Game of Thrones' last few chapters here. As disappointing as its eighth season remains, though, April 21 marked the five-year anniversary of its noteworthy second episode, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The fan-favorite installment ranks not only as its season's best chapter, but also as the last great episode that Game of Thrones ever produced.
