Why are the good-old-days always behind us? Sure, your TV is 20lb lighter than it was 10 years ago, but you've put on 20lb of weight in the meantime; your old Nokia cellphone was so durable it damaged the floor when you dropped it, but your new iPhone costs as much as a fresh organ on the black-market, and shatters into pieces at the slightest touch.

This open-list has some of our favorite then-and-now comparisons. Can you think of any funny juxtapositions? Vote on your favorite below, or post your own!

Chantal. Relax. I've lived in California my whole life and we're fine. We can take showers, drink from the faucet, go to the beach. Droughts in the US are much different from other nations. It just means we get yelled at a lot here. It's just a joke. Lighten up a little...

Well for having an european point of view in the western part of US as I have passed 1 year there. I can say from the moment where the Californians' wineries are buying a lot of land in Oregon to get more water and also how richest californian are buying hay to poor Oregonian because not enough grow in California anymore. Well, Californian must think about a way to manage better this resource instead of drain water from mountains to make grow GMO's corn, to be then pollute by chemicals because of californian lobby. Like said Angela, get out of your bubble, it's amazingly scary what you are up to fight against in the near future.

Seriously Claire Nicholos? Yes, we do. In fact, I had memorized all the states and their locations by the time I was in second grade. Well, no actually. I skipped second grade. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's more that you can do.

surely you mean, Native American or American Indian. A Native Indian is someone from the South Asian Sub-continent Country of India.

The 2000s drought in Australia, also known as the Millennium drought, is said by some to be the worst recorded since settlement.[1] The drought began in 1995 and continued Australia wide until late 2009 with the final areas in drought ceasing to be eligible in early May 2012.[2][3] With the official end of the drought declared in 2012, the Federal Government had provided $4.5 billion in drought assistance.[4]

A drought isn't something to make fun of Miss, regardless of where they are located. In my Caribbean country, just before the rainy season started, we had a drought for over three months, that alone drove us crazy, I can't even begin to imagine how Californians are feeling. Now I'm here waiting for our grass to turn back green (island wide), meanwhile they are still waiting for that drought to end! Droughts are a pain!!

I think you might have missed the point. The author wants to say that Earth is so f****d up because of human activity that now, some people have problems to find what they need.

Are you referring to CA being located next to the Pacific Ocean? If so, you should read about the extreme drought and how being next to an ocean doesn't help us yet because there's no efficient way of desalinating salt water.
