Reruns

In the New Real, a Rerun is a term for media made available on Gaia when the date in the New Real is equivalent to the release date of a TV program or other piece of media. This actually predates television on Gaia, as even books were restricted to what was available for purchase or viewing at a given time.

Also relevant are the Archives of Future Past, consisting of materials which have not yet become Reruns that have been made available only to those who have proven themselves trustworthy.

To find equivalent time periods in AD/CE, simply take the date of release (e.g. July 20th, 1969 AD) and add 10,000 years to the number (e.g. July 20th, 11969 GH). If the date is BC/BCE, simply subtract the year (e.g. 1000 BCE) from the number 10,000 (e.g. 9000 GH).

Commonly-viewed Reruns on Gaia in the New Real include...
 * The contents of the Library of Alexandria, the last few books of which were released to the Gaian public by 10642 GH. Due to Neuric not applying to written text and low literacy rates throughout human history, by the time the vast majority of the Egyptian and imported knowledge stores were fully understood, few advances could be made that hadn't already been applied on Gaia.
 * Apollo 11, which re-aired on Gaia on all TV and Radio stations on July 20th, 11969 GH.
 * The internet, which is available in all iterations up to the equivalent date via the New Internet Archive.
 * As the internet is available as a read-only archive, it cannot be edited by users in any way. The Afternet, which is the Gaian equivalent of the read-write internet, is not archived. Many websites of the Old Real such as Newgrounds (revived as Neogrounds), Neopets (revived as the OpenNP project) or Geocities and Tripod.com and Angelfire (revived as the Trihost service) have been revived in the New Real, but large corporate-run websites like Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr remain only as a public archive. In the context of social media, many recently-resurrected people use reruns of social media daily to monitor the state of the Old Real as a whole and their loved ones in particular.
