Yes. As long as I was home in time for dinner and to walk the dog (or any other chores), and the neighbors/police did not call, I was more free range than any critter in the\ store.

Yes, I remember summers being so long that when I returned to school (the same school I left a whopping 3 MONTHS ago) seemed like a different planet. We were so proud of ourselves when we remembered where everyone sat "last year".

Riding bicycles, going to the open pool, climbing trees, playing marbles, getting invited for lunch by someone's mom or getting a bag of cookies at the grocer. Glad I had that kind of childhood.

All our neighborhood friends used to come to our house whether we were there or not and get popsicles from my dad in the summer. :) The neighbors all knew him and were totally fine with this. It was sweet and my dad loved it!

My parents' old house backed onto a state forest. You pretty much never saw any of us neighbourhood kids--if we weren't in school, we were playing in the woods.
Jenna Kay 5 months ago
Ours backed onto an abandoned farm. We had cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries, and blackberries, occasionally you would see some corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., all just growing wild. We called it "the back field" and that's where everyone played and ate whatever was ripe, so we never went home for lunch 😊

Such a great thing! No photographic evidence of all our adventures/misadventures as kids. No one stopping everything so they can take a selfie. No oversharing every single little thing we did on those long hot summer days!

And people wonder why kids have too much screen time. It's because you won't let them go out, explore, get hurt, learn, grow and adapt. I had stitches 5 times before I was 18. There is almost nothing I can't do for myself.
Roxy222uk 5 months ago
Absolutely true. Parents would literally announce that the kids were 'getting under my feet' and throw them out the house. 'Go out to play!' One of the biggest problems has been the gleeful and graphic reporting of child killings, especially on TV, making it so much more real, which started in the 60s (the reporting, unfortunately child killings have a lot longer history). Over the generations this has completely change people's perceptions of danger to children. In the UK at least you'd have to have two million children before there was a chance of one of them being abducted and m******d by a stranger (I know that isn't how stats/chance works, but I'm painting a picture). The real dangers are things like not learning to risk assess and make decisions in small ways, while playing out with mates, and therefore being raw and unprepared for the high risks stakes that turn up at age 18. Plus poorer social skills and generally being less fit and healthy.

Upvote x 1000. This is why Gen Z is so easily offended. They grew up unprepared for the real world. Have you read "The anxious generation" by Jonathan Haidt by any chance?

It's probably only fair to also point out that child abductions and deaths by accidents were much higher in those days. I knew 3 kids from my relatively small group of friends who died in various accidents while playing, all between the ages of 6 and 15. That was a part of the reality of the "free-range" children of the 70s as well.

We were a bunch of little savages back in the day, running around barefooted all summer eating what ever we could find in neighbors gardens, getting brown as acorns and snarls in our hair. Didn't go home until the street lights came on.
Jenna Kay 5 months ago
As kids, we had blackberry fights (they grew wild behind our homes) and everyone would have to be soaped and hosed down before going inside. You would be surprised at how well blackberry can dye light colored hair and make everyone look like they have been beaten 🤣

Aside from trekking through the woods or riding bikes without helmets, the really big issue is sick-minded people who have always walked among us. But prior to the internet, these creeps didn't have a network like they do now, which makes vulnerable kids/adults all the more at risk.
Dirk Daring 5 months ago
It's true. We were basically feral. We were allowed to go outside once per day. If you came inside for a glass of water, that was it, you're not going back out. (This is why we became garden hose connoisseurs). Stay out of the house all day, fine, but no going in and out of the house. (We're not paying to heat/air condition the whole d**n neighborhood). Also, your butt had better be back in the house the second the street light came on.
Olive Moon 5 months ago

God I really hate this kind of thinking that so many in the comments and elsewhere have. Many many kids still get to go out and explore and do whatever you all think is essential in a childhood, it's not something that was unique to "those times" only. The sentiment that all kids sit in front of a screen 24/7 nowadays feels like it's coming from people who in fact never have spent time with kids recently and have only read stuff online about the most extreme cases and angled statistics. Like chill and step off that high horse of your fantastic childhood that modern children will never have /s

That's because she saw the "It's 10 o'clock! Do you know where your kids are?" commercial. Our generation's parents had to be reminded that they even HAD kids.

I was a kid in the ‘60s, and nearly every house had kids. We all ran together, regardless of age and gender. From one yard to another, to the empty lots and fruit orchards, down to the Welland Canal, when you could stand right at the edge of the water and we were too smart to ever jump in. We roller skated around the back streets, in the days when you carried your skate key on a string around your neck. Home for dinner, then home when the streetlights came on. An innocent age, gone forever.
karivfta 4 months ago
Definitely - told them where we were going to play with (???? ) and the only had to show up for meals. After dinner home when the street lights came on. Adventures every day!!! No trouble either. Mind you, the neighbors would peak out from behind curtains and rat you out if they didn't like what you were doing.

Totally can confirm. I was a free range child, born in 1966. One of my earliest memories was going a 2 blocks away, on my own, to meet the new girl in my neighborhood…before my family had met her parents. Crawled through sewer piping, skateboarded down giant hills…mom had no idea where I was…just had to be home for dinner.

Yep. I was a kid in the 70’s and late 60’s. We wandered around to our hearts content, went where we knew was off limits, jumped off second story house into their sawdust piles, ride our bikes everywhere. Yep. And our friends mom’s fed us gave us water, and the standard sandwich was PB AND J. Cheap feed a lot of kids,and will not break their food budget!
Marlene Ricker 5 months ago
I was a child in the 50's. We left the house in the morning and went and rounded up the neighborhood kids. We were quite creative in the games we played. Sometimes we would walk about 6 blocks to get to the hill and then we would play "war" on the side of the hill. One of the kids grandma had a TV (this was a new thing for all of us) and she would let us come in and watch a few shows! We never asked permission to go to the hill nor to go in and watch Mrs. Bradford's TV. I don't think my mom ever gave a thought to where we were or what we were doing. It was a much freer and safer time to be a kid. I feel bad for all the kids who have come after us and were not able to have the freedoms we did!

I don't know if this is a USian thing or not. I've seen it a few times, but I have never known any parents at all whose kids were not under constant supervision of one kind or another (My first son was born in 1980). I've always felt very sorry for the generations following the free-range kids, before we knew what kind of dangers could come from other people.

When I was a kid, as long as I was home by dark, it was all good. When I was a teenager, I just had to be home by midnight. There was no Life360 or other way for our parents to really monitor where we were and, so, we were everywhere. Great times.

This makes me sad. Children are losing out for no reason. Children are hurt by people they know. Stranger danger is b.s. 99% of child abductions are by someone known to the child. 80% of child SA is by parents and most of the rest is someone else known to the child. Don't even get me started on the fact that crime peaked in the 90s.
KnightOwl86 5 months ago (edited)
We'd literally get into trouble for coming in too often! We'd go out first thing in the morning, go home for meals or at bed time. If we kept going in and out to use the bathroom, get drinks/snacks, toys etc We'd get in trouble and my parents would threaten to ground us. Getting grounded was the worst thing that could happen to me as a kid, I'd literally rather be smacked. (I lived across from my school in a street full of big families, the kids all played in the playground all day, so sitting in my room listening to them having fun without me was t0rture.)

While many of us enjoy scrolling through memes for a quick laugh, there are people out there who have turned meme-making into a full-time profession. Yes, creating memes is now a legit job!
And while it might sound like all fun and games, it’s a role that demands creativity, wit, and a lot of time. After all, standing out in a sea of endless memes is no easy feat.
The process might seem simple, but creating a meme that resonates requires understanding trends, humor, and cultural moments. In today’s fast-paced digital world, the competition is fierce.
Staying ahead means keeping up with viral trends and constantly coming up with fresh ideas. It’s not just about making people laugh, it’s also about grabbing their attention in seconds.

I feel this with my last bf. When I broke it off with him, I came across one of his friend's cousins who hung around us a lot. He asked about my ex. I told him we're not together anymore. This 19 year old (I was 25 with a 7 year old) he shouts "YES" and then retracts when he saw my disturbed expression. Apparently this kid was waiting to get with me. Ewww. As if he ever had a chance.
To understand the world of professional meme-making, Bored Panda spoke with Viraj Seth, a creative genius behind memes for an advertising firm based in Mumbai, India.
“You’d be surprised by how many brands want their marketing strategies to include memes,” he shared. “It’s a great way to connect with younger audiences who love humor and relatable content.”
Viraj explained the challenges of his job: “Clients often have very specific requirements for what they want the meme to convey. But memes are short and snappy, so fitting all that information into a format that still feels fun and engaging can be tricky.” It’s a delicate balance of creativity and precision.

... and then the head tilts while she tries to understand you so hard!
“One of the unpredictable things about memes,” Viraj added, “is that not every meme will go viral. Sometimes you’ll spend hours crafting the perfect one, but the simplest, most random idea ends up taking off.” This unpredictability keeps the job exciting and occasionally frustrating.

Multa Nocte 5 months ago
Yeah, it WAS me, motherfucker. What are you going to do about it, huh?
Viraj also touched on the strategy behind meme-making. “We often use popular meme formats and customize them to suit a client’s brand or message. These familiar templates tend to get good traction because they’re already part of the cultural lexicon,” he explained. It’s about finding the sweet spot between originality and relatability.

StrangeOne 5 months ago
All the time. Why do I have to work and be here and there when I just want to nap?
But while meme marketing is effective, it often has a short shelf life. “Memes can be fleeting,” Viraj said. “What’s trending today might not even be relevant tomorrow. That’s the tricky part, it requires constant creativity and adaptation to keep up with the pace.”
#24
Kevin Warren 5 months ago
Seriously….”cheating” is censored!!!!!!!!!! 😝 wow. These trigger words are getting out of hand.
Despite the challenges, Viraj is a fan of the industry’s impact. “Memes are not just a form of entertainment; they’re a powerful tool for advertising. They’re accessible, quick, and relatable, making them perfect for capturing attention in a world of short attention spans,” he noted.
Love them or hate them, memes have become a cultural phenomenon that’s here to stay. They’re not just great for marketing, they’re also perfect for spreading joy and humor. So, which of these posts brought a smile to your face? Share your favorite meme moment below!

It's easy to be a nice person when you're having a good day. If you can't at least show politeness and common courtesy when you're having a bad day, especially to those who had nothing to do with why you're having a bad day, then you aren't as nice a person as you think you are.
