I'm picking back up where I left off clearing out some of the memes I spent a frankly absurd amount of time organizing into folders on my phone. As always, I Hope you all enjoyed.
I used to post all of the links to my past posts below but the ends of these posts were getting a bit unwieldy. So, at the risk of overcomplicating things I've made a few (sometimes pretty loosely) categorized repositories of my past posts if you'd like to see more I'll link to those below.

#13 ffs every ad break has at least one drug (or sports betting) ad these days
whereismymind86
For real, like…I don’t oppose gambling at all, but the sheer volume of money that was thrown at sports betting ads the second it became legal tells me I probably should be against it.
mojofilter02
I was just in the hospital for a few days. There was a TV, so I watched regular cable stations for the first time in years (we cut the cable and went to Roku when it was new). I was watching Food Network, and did you guys know they put up to 18 ads in a single spot block? They all included ads for medicines for conditions you didn't know even existed, gambling, laundry soap, air fresheners, and gourmet cat food.

#7 remember when people didnt have computers in their homes and would t know why anyone would ever want that?
mojofilter02
In 1998, I moved 1200 miles from where I grew up. This was in the period before everybody had a computer or e-mail address. As a result, I have lost touch with everyone I used to know before I was 39. No family, no relatives, no friends. My old life is like a black-and-white movie I saw once.

#34 the joy of a secret door behind a bookshelf aside, it also means you can fit another bookshelf in your house
nothingunused
I have always honestly wondered how one could have a secret room in a house. Every house I've lived in was not big enough to just have a rarely-used, "gag" room hidden somewhere.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
My house is small but there's a room I don't think I've set foot in for at least a year. But it definitely isn't hidden, it's basically a big obvious box because most of the rest of the first floor is open.

#37 That was no campaign, that was just a dad joke.
nefroye
The full saying was "hay is for horses - grass is cheaper", and it long pre-dates the 90's.
(not that I'm old or anything)
imakesoap
My mom used to say it, but I always thought she was being silly. She’s gone now so I cant ask, but thanks fr the childhood memory
BaronessVanDerBlam
Some people said it as a joke but I got sternly reprimanded more than once for saying hey instead of hi. Old people really hated it. They thought it was impolite for some reason.
okyouwin
> They thought it was impolite for some reason.
Because they did it first to needle their grandparents generation.

#5 PS/2 ports? Pfff, young people

#5 soooo 0 days old, considering PS/2 connectors are still used on many boards.
lozeldatkm
Yeah my board isn't all that old and it has them. I literally just hooked up a new mouse to the green port yesterday and it works a lot better than my old one.
MissivesFromTheTower
#5 Still using this.
Anyway, nothing strange about #2. There was this old dude in my village (he died in his 80s a few years ago) who used to go on daily hikes with his hatchet.
porcinechoirmaster
My extended family has some rural property. When I go on a hike around it, I take water, some food, a machete to clear the walking paths, and a sidearm. I don't worry about the mountain lions (I'm too big for them to try to attack) or the bears (they're more scared of me than I am of them), but the feral pigs are a real problem.
LocalSemiFriendlyRabbitGal
Damn, you live in a place which has so many cops that some are going feral?
CalculatorFunTime58008
I grew up in the swamp. Rattle snakes run away. Water moccasins are assholes, might try to bite for fun. Hogs will end you if they even suspect you're within a mile of them. And their fucking skulls, need high power to hit em head on when their charging

#23 The internet was preceded by the screaming of robotics!
4sambucas
Is that some american tech thing, 'cause I've had tv's where I just had to hold down a button to find the game signal?
Anthedon
The internet screaming was a warning we did not heed. Not that I am complaining, but it's a fair warning.
pnutzgg
a couple years before I left 56k I found the option in the connection settings to actually turn that off
kewakl
56k in theory only?
tantallous
but if the robots are not screaming how do you know that they are still being sacrificed to bring you one picture every 5 minutes?
pnutzgg
na the screaming still happened but the modem shut up
it was always bs anyway, the 56k was uploads on a 1m line in perfect conditions and my download rate was closer to 33k

Nothing like seeing “I’m this old” memes for stuff my kid used to play with.
The corporations are going to monetize this nostalgia at you and gaslight you into thinking plastic knockoffs of “your childhood” are the only thing that can make you happy.
Do not let them!!
whereismymind86
Jokes on them, I never got rid of that stuff
nefroye
Hollywood has been monetizing nostalgia for a long, long time. E.g. just look at how many kids movies have references to boomer/GenX things (especially music) that kids have no clue about.

#9 Listen here you little shit! Also, I could keep the damn phone in my pocket and text anyone, and there would be no typos. Now I have to double check everything because autocorrect decides what I'm saying.

swedeonamoose
I guess being a later millenial got its perks, still only "30 plus"
morningxafter
I’m right on the older edge of millennial. I’m 40. Funny how not so long ago we were called the younger generation and getting blamed for ruining everything by boomers and Gen X, but some of us are already old enough to be considered ’middle-aged’.
swedeonamoose
I mean some boomers still think millenials are in their 20s
ObiWanKenobitch
Yeah I’m nearing 40 my sister is on the z/millennial cusp and even just those few years difference you can tell. But she’s more millennial than z and I thank my own influence for that and so does she. Being from a smallish rural state in the south also means we were typically like a decade or so behind current youth and fashion trends, especially back in the 90’s and early days of the 2000’s before widespread internet connectivity globally and the advent of what social media is today.

I cannot STAND it when folks call ABC mode "T9" or memes like this where they don't just list out the T9 codes.
proxyinitiative
I never learned t9 and I'm glad I never will
Jonmbram
I remember there were commercials for it where it was a kid setting a texting speed record using T9.
Soufange
I remember the speed typing challenges where you had to risk your kid sticking you with a 5,000$ phone bill just so that same kid could get free texting for the rest of the year.

The Boomers were born in the Big Bang expulsion. That's why we call them 'old farts'.

I remember being super excited when I managed to reset the score on Asteroids on my mom's 2600. 20 years later got one of those "5-in-One" Atari games in a controller for Christmas that had Asteroids - a couple of hours later, I reset the score.

I still remember going out to the shops to buy the latest single, we'd throw it on the record player and jam in my room. I really miss 45's. Mind my mates dad got this new free standing stereo, all silver and ace, and we played a compact disc! Dire straights brothers in arms.
BroccoliCabbagePatch
AbelardSnazz
My best mate’s mum used to work for Virgin records and he had a vast record collection- I used to go round with a 10 pack of C90 cassettes and pick 20 albums (or 10 double albums - we were prog fans) and he’d record them over the next few weeks and bring them to school- so I never had much vinyl but hundreds of great tapes
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
I had one of these and I'm still annoyed about it. Basically my parents didn't know how anything electronic worked and Radio Shack sold them an unnecessary component. We had a Sony Trinitron TV and didn't have cable. There was a goddamn unused coax RF on the back *and* the front. There was no reason to use the antenna screws, it was a fundamentally worse experience as a result. Every time I got to the end of a SMB3 level (the black room) the picture would go nuts.

extraDimensionalAnxiety
The sample size seems very small to make such broad claims about any generation.
Unitedite
You should look into the statistics of using sample sizes for population estimation, seems you'd be surprised by how few people you need.
EndocrineResearcher
What sample size do you think is needed? Every survey calculator I've looked at suggests 22,000 responses is plenty to evaluate a voting population of ~150 million. For example: https://www.qualtrics.com/blog/calculating-sample-size/ If you have a better calculation I'd be happy to use that instead.

#29 There were lots of good things about the 90s but people are heavily biased by age, nostalgia and the media. There was worse poverty, higher child mortality, lower levels of education, less renewable energy, more pollution. We have better medical care and access to clean water. Are things great now? No. But many things have improved significantly since the 90s.
Illinifan88
Republicans are trying real hard to bring all of that wonderful stuff back.

The chart is also misleading if you don't look closely. The dropoff isn't a significant amount of people.
