It’s not uncommon for certain sights, smells or sounds to hit one right in the feels and flood the entire nervous system with nostalgia. And while the things that might evoke such a reaction differ from person to person, the feeling itself is a rather universal one.

That’s why many people can relate to said feeling, which often encourages them to seek those who do, too. Cue online groups and communities. Today we want to shed light on the ‘Right In The Childhood’ Facebook group, sharing—yup, you guessed it—nostalgia triggers intended to take people on a journey through time, right back to their childhood. Scroll down to find some of their posts on the list below and see if they can take you back in time, too.

Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with a Professor of Psychology at Stetson University, Christopher J. Ferguson, Ph.D., who was kind enough to share his insight on the topic.

when I was 17 i worked next door to a record store . I would wander over to hang out with the guy in his 30's that worked there . When new music would come in he would put aside the cassette for me. My husband said the guy was hitting on you & you were too niave to notice. I think he was just into music & liked that I was too

    Our small town high school had an entire week devoted to the T.P. a rivals house tradition. We broke up into teams, they called it "Junior T.P. week" and we'd make t-shirts and matching bandana/ makeup/ camo gear & go out under cover of darkness to hit a few houses throughout the week. It was all in good fun but one year, about 10 years ago the police started laying in wait and citing/ ticketing & even arresting people. As far as I know, they've totally shut it down since then.

    “Nostalgia seems to help root us in a sense of ourselves and our own history. We get a fuller sense of who we are today by understanding where we have come from,” professor of psychology at Stetson University, Christopher J. Ferguson, Ph.D., told Bored Panda in a recent interview.

    “For that reason, people can sometimes feel a sense of nostalgia even for experiences or places that weren't entirely positive. In a sense, it is the earlier self that we miss, not necessarily the place or the event.”

    So when my boyfriend was in university I would make him these on exam/paper due nights. Pre-heat to 425 F, 6" cast iron skillet VERY coated in high temp vegetable oil, press the rested dough into the skillet, makea da pizza, fire it for 12 mins, then sear it for 4 mins on broil. Give my smart boi a personal pan pizza made with love and cleverness <3. The trick is to add 1 tsp of lemon juice to any store bought pizza sauce with a pinch of thyme and oregano. And remember to make it with all the love you can muster

    Expanding on the thought that nostalgia can sometimes correlate to experiences one wouldn’t consider positive, Prof. Ferguson pointed out that it might have something to do with a phenomenon known as ‘nostalgia bias’.

    ADVERTISEMENT
    ADVERTISEMENT

    “Our memories are far from reliable and we may have a tendency to remember only parts of our past that fit whatever narrative we have about it,” he explained. “For instance, we may remember the times of our youth as having been far better than they actually were, and this can cause us to judge the present more harshly. You can see this in various memes expressing that the 1950s were a ‘simpler time’ where everyone lived happily, forgetting that the 1950s were marked by everything from polio to segregation.”

    Despite the nostalgia bias, the feeling that makes one want to turn back the hands of time is in most cases a fairly pleasant experience, Dr. Ferguson says; unless one is comparing a beloved past against a disliked present, of course.

    “Generally, it is a way for us to connect with our past and give us a sense of continuity over time. Rather than merely living in the moment, it places us in the historical arc of our own life, creating narrative and a life trajectory.”

    Man, I remember being 13 and alone AF. My mom tricked me into believing she was sending me to a Big Brothers and Sisters camp but really it was a Pray away the Gay Christian camp. No food unless you took part in the 4 hr per nigh worship service and, you know, pretended to be straight. Dealing with their hatred (sorry, I meant Christian love) was exhausting. I entered that place a 13 year old gay boy, and left a 59 year old bitter gay man

    Try being a PK (pastor's kid). It was an agonizing eternity. You never got to leave until your parents were done talking to the adults. And there was always that one adult that would hog your parents time. And while other kids were running around after church, being, well, kids, you couldn't because you were an extension of your Dad's calling. So this meme is spot on.

    That's why I cancelled my subscription with the (Protestant) church as soon as I was legally allowed. Also bc they wanted me to pay the monthly 'church tax' (drawn from my paycheck as an apprentice). That's normal where I life, but a big NO from me. (Austria-EU)

    My mom would call the store and have them ring it up so she could write a check with the tax included. Then, because I was young and didn't really understand, I would run the whole way because I thought they were waiting.

    The ones pictured are available right now. They are soft and chewable. The ones from the 1960s were a hollow tube of hard white sugar. One end was painted red, and more convincingly than these. You could blow, and get a cloud of powdered sugar "smoke." Some of them had actual cigarette "brand names."

    Those prone to feeling nostalgic know that sometimes, the sentiment arises over things or occurrences we didn’t even get to experience firsthand, such as a popular video game we never owned ourselves or a TV show we never really got to watching, despite it being the craze at a certain time.

    According to Ferguson, it happens because in most such cases, there is some associative relationship between the stimuli and the time period in question. “The thing may look or feel, or show examples of things we remember from the time period or be associated with someone else we knew then who did have that experience. As with all memories, nostalgic ones can find themselves in associative networks.”

    While such things as video games or TV shows that were popular at a certain time are common nostalgia triggers, there are way more than two that can make one reminisce over the good old days.

    According to a GWI survey of netizens aged 16 to 64 who feel nostalgic about the media, movies are the main trigger of nostalgia, followed by music, TV shows, photographs, books and magazines, video games, advertisements, and radio respectively.

    I remember once reading a guide on movie ratings that said for PG - they could only use the F word once and it had to be in a non-sexual way. "F I stubbed my toe!" = okay. "I want to F you" = not okay. "F, F, F, I stubbed my F-ing toe!" not okay. I have no idea who decided that, but that is the standard I read some years ago.

    Basically a rating for movies. “PG” is the second-safest rating, basically for happy cartoons where nothing too bad happens XD it stands for “parental guidance” and implies that parents should make sure they are okay with their child watching said movie. “G” stood for “general audiences” and meant the movie was appropriate for all ages.

    Yeah, we had the duck and cover drills when I was an elementary school kid in the early 60s (Cuban Missile Crisis time...). Everyone now seems to think that people were taught that "hiding in the basement or under a desk would protect you from nuclear radiation, etc." Nope. We knew what the deal was - being down low helps keep more mass between you and the burst, and twelve half-thicknesses is sorta safe from radiation. But the REAL expectation here was to protect yourself against the blast wave bringing the building down on you. Like with standing in a doorway during an earthquake. First, keep yourself from getting crushed, and put as much *stuff* between yourself and the radiant source as possible. Worry about everything else later.

    Discussing nostalgia triggers, Prof. Ferguson suggested that for some people, aging often works like one. “Nostalgia appears more common among older adults; of course, they also have more to be nostalgic about.

    “It can also occur with significant life change. For instance, both the birth of children and the death of parents may cause people to feel nostalgic about their own childhoods.

    “Perhaps our childhood community has undergone significant changes, such that it no longer resembles what we remember from our youth,” the expert continued. “This can give us a sense of the world more or less slipping away from us. We seem to like to think of the universe as being fairly static, and as it moves away from that, it can remind us of our own mortality. Memories of the past can, as such, be soothing.”

    Didn't have doritos but sometimes did it with regular chips. This is what you do when you get a baloney sandwich most days and it gets so boring you try to change it up. I'm pretty sure lettuce had been invented when I was in school but I rarely saw it on my sandwiches. Probably to save money - we were kind of poor.

    Are you all so literal that you can't figure out that the date on the lift is from when it was built??? And those could definitely be clothes from the 80's. I grew up in that time period and probably had that same outfit. Sometimes people here make me roll my eyes so hard I see my brain!

    The photo is real, the perceived danger, not so much. It's forced perspective that makes it look like they're thousands of feet in the air, when in reality it's probably closer to 50 feet (so yes, dangerous, but not "plummet to your death" dangerous). More info - and an old home movie of the lift in action - can be found here: https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/05/04/vintage-photos-of-wyomings-snow-king-chairlift-of-death-has-internet-buzzing-is-this-for-real/

    Well, to be honest, 2020 was in many ways amazing year. Many companies found out that homeoffice is an option. Our townhall finally started accepting cards to pay for things like trash collection. Thanks to lockdown we finally got electronic sicknotes and electronic prescriptions. And the first few months were in some way amazing. When people just started making masks at home and giving them to other people for example. The bad year was 2021.

    The three oldest kids know that this is going to come back to haunt them. Just as well they can't predict social media and have the horror of knowing that one day in the distant future everyone in the world will have the chance to see their shame. The two very youngest kids are just plain scared of the camera. The three middle kids are old enough to know to smile for group photos but too young to realise the full horror of what they're wearing. Your man on the right in blue is living his best life and doesn't give a fig what anyone thinks. Well done that kid.

    I had a great uncle like this. Without fail, every couple years we'd visit, and he's slip us a self-addressed envelope with a $50 inside. All he wanted was to hear from us. So we would use the cash to buy a disposable camera, take weird family pictures, and mail it to him. We found out after he passed that he developed the pictures into slides. Best post-mortem find ever! Uncles Emil and Rudy, love you and the hundreds of pics you left for us to reminds us of your love. <3

    This was an unspoken rule when we had to go to an assembly during classes to see someone who brought in animals or to do an anti-d**g play or something. There were always questions afterwards and we always did our best to make it last as long as possible so we didn't have to go back to class. They probably scheduled in X amount of time for questions lmao

    the whole reason i only buy android phones is because they offer the swype feature. swype is basically the modern version of T9. i have no idea how iPhone users can sit there "typing" with both thumbs. swype is so advanced now that i don't even have to switch languages to switch languages even mid-sentence. i think the kids get predictive text actually still

    It is crazy to realize how much we moved in technology. I grew up with cassettes (we still have somewhere older tapes, but that was not something I would use on daily basis) and even with LPs. Then there were CDs, downloadable MP3 and now we have streaming. For other data we use cloud, but carrying a flash drive was common just few years ago, before that we had CDs or DVD and before floppy. And we still have a guy in office that learned how to punch cards in school and installed Telex in the first company he worked for.
