Nostalgia is a powerful substance. And everyone carries it within themselves. It can take us to a distant time and place in a heartbeat. All we need is the right trigger. Luckily, the subreddit of the same name has plenty of them.
Whether we're talking about multicolored pens, Tamagotchis, or having to manually turn off your computer, this online community shares pictures that make you feel old and hit right in the feels.
We at Bored Panda have already covered r/Nostalgia in our older publications here and here, but with 1 million members, its collection of sentimental gems keeps expanding really fast, so we thought we'd release an update to send you down memory lane once more. Safe travels!

Even though we all feel nostalgia, it's not entirely clear what psychological purpose it serves. Is this longing feeling for the past good or bad?
Krystine Batcho, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at LeMoyne College, said the word was coined or invented a long time ago, over 300 years ago, and originally designated homesickness.
"Semantic drift over the centuries has broadened that to the notion of longing for or missing aspects of a person's personal lived past," Batcho explained.

"Most of the research available today including my research argues that nostalgia serves a number of functions," Batcho said. "The thing that ties them all together is that nostalgia is an emotional experience that unifies."
In other words, it helps to unite our self, our sense of who we are, and our identity over time. This can be valuable because over time we change in incredible ways.
"We're not anywhere near the same as we were when we were three years old, for example," Batcho added. "Nostalgia by motivating us to remember the past in our own life helps to unite us to that authentic self and remind us of who we have been and then compare that to who we feel we are today." This also gives us an image of who we want to be in the future.

Having To Manually Roll Down/Up Your Car's Windows
In the US, the average new car is $47K, average annual income $53K. We wouldn’t mind manually rolling down the windows in affordable vehicles.
I never understood why someone with an average salary would even consider a new car. I earn well above average but buy 4-year old cars with 40k miles for less than half the original price.

Son-in-law's brand new work truck came with these. Fact is, these are safer if you get stuck in a flood or high water.

And yet if you ask people to roll down your window, they still do this action... and put their hand to their head with thumb and pinky out for phone... even kids who have never used them that way. You'd look like an idiot if you poked the air or just held your fist beside your head lol
That thumb-and-pinky gesture always reminds me of Inspector Gadget. (Talk about nostalgia; I loved that show as a kid.)

When I begged my mom to get us a new car with the "fancy new" automatic windows like my best friend's family had, she told me that automatic windows were unsafe because "if the car runs off the road and gets submerged in water we won't be able to unroll the windows and escape." My mother worries about the weirdest things. Our next car did, in fact, have automatic windows, because by that time all cars had them. I've never asked her about it, but I'm curious if she still thinks she's "unsafe" with those automatic windows.
My mom refused to go to California, because she was absolutely sure that would be the day California fell off the edge of the United States.

That's how my/my parents' truck is, I believe gen 1 1994 Dodge Dakota
Many cars are still like that here. I like it better, those buttons are hard to control.
A few years ago we went to a hypnotist show. He had five volunteers on stage, all under hypnosis and they'd been given the scenario that they'd been pulled over by a cop (the hypnotist). He walked up to each of the driver's side window and asked them to "roll down your window please air/madam". Four out of the five mimed this action. The fifth pressed his automatic window button. This is still the image most people of a certain age will come up with - it's going to be around for a while.
That's why there is 7 year financing on a car that will last 3 years. New cars depreciate 25% the minute you pull off the lot. Smart money is in car 3-4 years old.
I'd say more like 12-15 years old, value has bottomed out and hasn't started the upward climb from being a "classic."

Hey, I can tell you that i never had to replace a manual car window, yet on multiple cars I had to replace the motor for the automatic windows. That my friend is a huge pain in the butt, especially when your window gets stuck down ten minutes into an hour ride on a snowy night. I'll take manual I'm humble
And surprisingly enough we all made it through such a dark time in our automotive history.
Lol no dad locking the windows after he farts. With those you could just roll it down.
It was no big deal, and fewer mechanical parts to fix if the mechanism went haywire.
My 2009 Chevy Cobalt LS has manual window rolling and, honestly, I like it.
Like AC saw no use for roll downs until I had one. Now see no reason not to have.
I prefer these to power windows. Power windows break too easily and can be expensive or difficult to replace if you don't have the money. I personally replaced the rear power windows on my van with the manual version from the junker van given to me, and summers are better now that we can get a breeze through the entire vehicle!
Our daily car is from the 70's. No aircon, so we have to roll down the windows. Not obsolete for us at all ;)
Our 16 year old work van still has manual handle for window. A GenZ asked us to roll down the window when picking up groceries to ask us something and for real he busted out laughing and said, "So sorry, I didn't realize you have to work so hard for that air!" We laughed too. We forget how few things are manual these days. :D
I've recently ridden in a couple Uber Priuses that had wind down windows!! I think it's becoming a thing again
I think one window should have manual opening in case the car ends up in deep water. Wouldn't the automatic window openers malfunction if that scenario happened?
Though the action is obsolete people still say, "Roll up the window." Likewise, "Dial the phone."
Do you still use this motion when telling someone to let down the windows?
You didn't have to worry if your window was partially down if it rained. The manual ones didn't malfunction if it rained in your car.
I still have em, 2016 Kia Ria bought brand spanking new for under $12 k. Wish Ida upgraded, even in a small car I have to unbuckle my seatbelt to roll down the passenger window. Great car at a great price though!
Considering that right now my window motor is out and costs too much to fix... I wouldn't mind having this back.
Most older cars have this, but not the ones been made in 2000s or earlier. The latest models don't have these manual feature anymore. I supposed it was for conviniency
Some cars are still like this. There are some that are around 15 years old, which are like this.
I still have a fully manual car. Windows, locks, transmission......no ABS
Vehicles are still made with this ancient technology! If you buy the most basic models, as my company often does for some fleet trucks, you'll get these.
I had a 2004 neon that had powered windows in the front but crank in the back. I was so confused. Haha
I got my car with these. Stripped down of every computer/electronic function I could. Manual transmission. 18 years later it's still running as my commuter car, and it's never had major repairs or been down more than 2 days at a time. My baby. <3
I drove a friends' kid to school once and I had manual windows. She though they were "so cool" and rolled the windows up and down until we got to the school.
My car has manual wind up on the back doors. My mum and brother like it cos it means they don't have to wait for me to turn on the ignition before they can open the windows.
My husband and I bought a 2009 Toyota Yaris a couple of years ago.... manual locks, hand crank windows.... paid a couple thousand or so?? (Don't remember exactly, but it was under 3500. when all was said and done....) We love our lil' car!! Funny to see people's faces when they realize they have to roll down window themselves 😂🤣
I miss these in a way... In another I am glad they are gone and hope they never come back.
The first family car in my family was an old Morris Minor. I think it was old when we got it. I remember the magic of the stick indicators that popped out the side of the car next to the driver window. They often didn't work so Mum had to do hand signals instead. And the push ignition didn't always work either, so Mum would have to get out and crank start the car. It always put Mum in a foul mood (understandably) if that happened so the four of us kids would sit in deathly silence, no-one willing to be the one who attracted her attention. It was pretty exciting when we upgraded to an old Morris Oxford that didn't have a crank start because it was too modern.
I still do. Not all of us get new cars! Hehe. Mine's a 92 and a clunker but it's still going.
Isn't the handle for the window a bit...a lot...too close to the door handle?
I got a new 2021 Opel Corsa and on the back seats they also have this old school cranks... Yeah. But as i do not sit in the back, it does not bother me... But yes. Still in 2021 you will find that in cars...
These are way better than electric windows! You don't have to have the key on to operate them, and there's no motor to burn out. I guess if I had arthritis or something, I might prefer the buttons. (We have a 2007 Chevy truck that has crank handles like this, and we like 'em.
They still make cars with crank windows ffs. My 2017 Jeep had them. Stop perpetuating this myth that they don't anymore.
Okay I've had trouble with the button ones so I'm not angry about those
My niece bought a car recently and it has manual windows. And it's a newer car. And we're in America
I had to take some kids to a movie one night a few years back and they literally could not figure out what those were.
I still have those. New cars are very much expensive in my country, so I bought a 2006 car in 2014. I still have the same car in 2022. I'm just happy to have a car.
My grandpa's car had those. Pretty cool, but I kept forgetting which way to turn it.
After my car was totaled not long ago I'm driving a back up vehicle that I have to manually roll the windows down in. I can't reach the passenger side unless I unbuckle my seat belt and lay over in the seat. Or get out and walk around and open the door to do 😑
I still have this and a stick shift in my 2008 F-250. It is truly the last of it's kind.
My car has it, and it's 2008. Pretty common here in poor countries (not mentioned to avoid retaliation)
I still have these. We got a brand new Peugeot 107 11years ago for £5k and nothing is automated. It has also never failed us, you can park it in any tiny space and it does 70mpg
Crash In A Lake And Short Out The Electrical System Of Your $50k Car And You'll Wish For This
My mom drives a 2004 Saturn (stick shift) that has roll handle windows. Never has to worry about the electronics failing and being unable to use a window. The down side is that (at least on the passenger side) because the car is 18 years old it takes a fair amount of human power to move the handle. Still, the pros outweigh the cons, in my opinion.
I prefer the manual roll down , less electronics to go wrong .. But thays the point of getting rid of them it forces people back to the dealership if something goes wrong .... Of course we just take it because .... CONSUME...
My grandson just bought a 2020 Chevy Spark. Manual car windows and locks.
My little Kia has these. Grandson thought it so cool, asked his mom to buy a car with these magical handles.
Always wanted the wind down windows in our newer cars, just in case we got stuck in a lake
Unlike my 2018 car which needs the engine running to operate the windows...
bought a new car recently and it had these on the back doors. it was a low cost vehicle. european.

Nostalgia also serves an essential psychological function in that it's a highly social emotion. It connects us to other people.
"In the beginning, when we're very young, it's part of what bonds us to the most important people in our life, our parents, our siblings, our friends. As we go through life, it can broaden out and extend to a wider sphere of the people we interact with. It's a social connectedness phenomenon and nostalgia is in that sense a very healthy pro-social emotion."

In itself, nostalgia is somewhat of a conflict because it is a bitter-sweet emotion. But that also has a hugely positive effect because it helps us to unify what otherwise would be felt or experienced by us as conflicts.
"The bitterness comes from the sense that we know for sure that we can never really regain them, they're gone forever. The irreversibility of time means that we absolutely cannot go back in time so it helps us to deal with the conflict of the bitter longing for what can never be again together with the sweetness of having experienced it and being able to revisit it and relive it again," Batcho said.

According to Batcho's research, nostalgia can be a stabilizing force and comfort us during times of transition.
"It's very difficult to grasp change, because in some sense, at a very deep psychic level, change threatens us," the psychologist explained. "It's a little frightening because we're not 100% sure that we can control it. One of the most important aspects of being a healthy human being is having a sense that you are in control of things. When things start to change, either very substantially, such as major events in a person's life, getting married or getting divorced, getting a new career, going back to school or graduating from school, it's comforting to have a nostalgic feeling for the past that reminds us that although we don't know what the future is going to bring, what we do know is that we know who we have been and who we really are."

Nostalgia brings things back. It stimulates memories of the times when we were accepted and loved and this phenomenon is very comforting. Knowing that at some point in life we didn't have to earn our love can be very powerful. Nostalgia helps us realize that our parents, our siblings, or our friends simply loved us unconditionally. And these thoughts can work miracles on us when we're undergoing turmoil in our personal lives.

Mr. Sketch. Our First “High”
Batcho believes nostalgia might even have an element of infectiousness and wishes it was even bigger. To understand what she means by that, think of a group of people who have some shared experience.
"The best example of that is when a group of friends are reminiscing about their antics, the things they did as either teenagers or children or what have you. There it's a bonding experience. Another example of that is we know from current research that sports fans love to do that. They talk about the games that they enjoyed and when their team was victorious. When you have a common bond, it can be very infectious and it's like a domino one memory triggers another."

And the reason why she wishes it was more infectious is that this, let's call it, collective nostalgia can break down when you have a group of people who do not have shared experiences to be nostalgic about. Suddenly if you have one individual wanting to reminisce about their past but no one else in that group remembers those things or lived through those things, you might get things like a generation gap. Someone is talking about the 1950s and a teen says they can't even imagine it.
So when you think about it, r/Nostalgia is doing a beautiful public service. The subreddit is bringing together those who might not have anyone to daydream about the past with.

Please change the post's title to something like "nostalgia" instead of "obsolete things". It doesn't fit the list at all and it's very disturbing.
Yeah, about half these things are still on the market. They may not be as popular as they once were, but you can still find those pens at almost any toy store, those "medical kits" are probably even more popular now (not original FP, but basically the same thing), n64 is now a premium subscription on Switch, and as a concept consuls are absolutely still popular, and if you don't shut your computer (or even smartphone) down all the way at least occasionally you are running a lot of garbage that is slowing you down and using up more power than you need to.

We played outdoors, rode tricycles or bikes and played mostly with little or no safety equipment. We had very little processed food. A coke was a treat. Most moms were at home and took pride their homes and families. We prayed in school and never had to worry about being shot because we were protected by God whom most people trusted and respected. No perverts would have ever dared try to hurt one of us and if they did the law dealt them a swift just penalty. The toys were simple but realistic. Children grew up as children not mini adults or drug dealers. We loved each other, hugged and appreciated what we had. I'd love to go back to those days...when people cared and loved
