Corrected entry: The series started in 1997 during a time where cell phones and the internet already existed, but in the show, everyone still uses landlines and no cell phones are ever seen and no internet is ever used or mentioned.

Factual error: When we see Tiffani and Stacy talk on the phone with Quinn (on the other end), we hear a call waiting beep from Quinn's end (but the camera still on the two girls' side) and Quinn mentions she's getting a call from Sandi. The mistake is only Quinn herself would have heard the "beep" and the other girls would have just heard Quinn's voice cut off with dead air for a second. Tiffani and Stacy should not have heard that "beep" like it was shown in the episode.
Trivia: Whenever Daria's family eats together at home, they always eat lasagna.

Suggested correction: That's usually the case but not every episode. There's an episode where they are eating Penne a la Pesto instead, and another one had pizza.
Question: At the end of the episode why does Daria look down and say "Damn" to herself?

Correction: 1997 was pretty much right at the start of mainstream adoption of the internet and cellphones. Only 20% of people owned a cellphone, and 18% of households had an internet connection. And it would have been slow dial-up, and fairly expensive to use. No real reason to make it a focus of the show. Just because something technically exists, doesn't mean it's mainstream enough to reference. This also isn't remotely a plot hole or even factual error, given the show was made in 1997 so is period-accurate by default. They can mention/not mention whatever they want - I'm sure there were lots of other cultural/technological developments they didn't pay much attention to, and those aren't mistakes either.
