The year 2000 was less than three decades ago, yet the experience of life back then feels like we were on a completely different planet from where we are today. Social media didn’t run the world, and we weren’t expected to be on our cell phones 24/7. It really was a simpler time, so if you want to take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane, you’ve come to the right place.

We visited the 2000s subreddit and compiled a list of some of their best posts below. From pics celebrating pop culture of the time to photos of the best snacks from that era, enjoy scrolling through all of these early 2000s gems. And be sure to upvote the pics that make you wish you had a time machine!

    Reese wasn't exactly my favourite character but he definitely rocked the frosted tips throughout the run of "Malcolm in the Middle". I relate more with Dewey than all of the other characters of the show.
