Twitter user Marina Ayano K brought back some serious (and very specific) '90s nostalgia when she tweeted about that little roller ball-thing found in computer mice that we were all fascinated by as kids. She then proceeded to troll her younger followers by claiming that that little ball was actually made out of the yolk of a hard-boiled egg, and that we had to prepare said yolk in order to use the mouse. Lo and behold, some people actually bought it, and the resulting tweets are priceless.

If you lost that ball, the mouse could no longer detect your movements. So you'd have to do something like use a hard boiled egg yolk instead. 1 27 2 53

    Text - Made Man @MadeManG74 Replying to @even_kei Your parents could always tell if you've been up all night playing games, because the yolk deteriorates so much faster. This was the days before Steam, so if he deleted the .exe file on the desktop in anger you had to go buy another copy of the game :( >
