*this comment is directed towards the soft can opener* do you mind If I ask what you were in prison for? I totally get if you don't share, I'm just curious as half my family is/was in prison for drug related things. I would like to know more about the prison system. Please share your story if you feel comfortable :)

Yup! These still serve them at some cinemas and theatres in the UK. The little wooden spoon makes me think of tongue depressor.

    So I'm probably alone here, but I hated it. It was always some weird education show and it was back before anyone even pretended that accessibility was a thing, so there's deaf me in the classroom sitting through some confusing and frustrating who knows what, praying there weren't going to be questions afterwards, as the only concession ever made to my inability to hear it was I was allowed to come to the front... where the deafness would go away, I assume?

    "If I'm old enough". You youngsters with your modern tech. We had 16mm film reels and before that even some of those slide stick things where you play the record and when you hear the bong you push the stick sideways to line up the next slide. Also - shout out to those who sniffed the freshly mimeographed handouts.

    Back in my day, we didn’t have a vcr and tv…back in the 70’s and 80’s we had a film projector and the teacher always had to fight with it for 20 minutes to get it to work…then pull down the projector screen if he was tall enough to reach it. We watched films that were from the 50’s and 60’s. “Here we see the cell dividing. This is called mitosis”…..most boring films ever in science class ! lol

    Bored Panda got in touch with the people who run the "Nostalgia From Your Childhood" account to get their insights into nostalgia and what draws people to it. First, we wanted to know what prompted the creation of the group. "I wouldn't consider myself someone who is necessarily "stuck in the past", but I love all things nostalgia. Looking at old photos from my childhood, being reminded of all cartoons I used to watch, or snacks I used to eat after school."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "I figured it would be fun to create a nostalgia-themed Twitter account to reminisce and connect with others who grew up experiencing similar things. Additionally, it allows me to almost create a place where I can preserve collective memories and create a virtual haven where people can come together and spark conversations about their cherished memories as a child."

    Had this in the bedroom of my first apartment back in 2010. 10/10 would not recommend as an interior building material. I could run my heater all day in winter and still go to bed and feel the cold radiating off that wall all night.

    We also wanted to hear their insights into why the content was so popular. "Nostalgia content is popular because it's like a time machine that takes you back to cherished memories and simpler times. It's relatable, and comforting, and sparks a sense of belonging as you connect with others who shared similar experiences."

    "I think nostalgia also has a powerful emotional impact on people. Whether you're looking at old childhood TV shows, classic games, or throwback foods, it often evokes positive feelings such as happiness, comfort, and joy as you reminisce about pleasant memories from the past. In a world filled with constant information overload and stress, nostalgia simply offers a retreat to simpler, happier times. There's also nothing like the feeling of seeing a photo or video of something from your childhood that you haven't thought of in over 15 years."

    The origins of the word “nostalgia” are surprisingly violent. Likely coined in the 17th century by Johannes Hofer, it was used to describe the “Swiss Illness” which referred to the homesickness felt by Swiss mercenaries traveling and fighting around Europe. Reportedly, not being around Alpine pastures and mountains caused the soldiers to develop fevers, faint, and even just drop dead. 

    While this explanation is not exactly verifiable, as most of us aren’t falling dead weeks after going off to college, scientists at the time did try to figure out what was causing this emotion. They searched, improbably, for a bone responsible for nostalgia, and, for example, US Civil War soldiers could be diagnosed with it after spending time away from home.

    In some ways, the popularity of nostalgia can, unfortunately, be seen as a result of increasingly uncertain times. Some studies suggest that the more people report feeling uncertain about things or having disruptions in their lives, the more nostalgic they feel about the past. It’s no surprise that in many cases, this sort of content gets ideas of “yearning for a simpler time” attached to it.

    This mechanism isn’t random, our brains do try to soothe and self-comfort when we feel under duress. While nostalgia by itself is triggered by generally negative feelings, it does have the ability to improve our mood. Among other effects, it reminds us that at a time, at least from our current point of view, times were better. Ever the optimists, as humans this makes us feel like times could get better again.

    Yes, as a kid I loved reading the older ones, with all the hard facts about the real world. Then it became garbage like "the record for the most marshmallows eaten while juggling balls and riding backwards"

    I liked when they only had legitimate world records like the "heaviest man" or "fastest car", not stupid things like the "longest ear hair" or "largest collection of sick bags".

    this may have been when lunch ladies actually made lunches. i know that when my grandkids were in school that it had become a nuke and serve process with everything being premade. in high school a once retired but now lunch lady had been a pastry chef. guess she just wanted to get back into a kitchen so when she was hired we suddenly had pastries offered for sale between morning breaks. her damn cinnamon twists were to die for so if you didn't hustle after second period you lost out. shame our kids/grandkids will not know what a cooked lunch is.

    American schools provide lunches. Some can receive reduced cost or free. Anyone is welcome to choose to take a home packed lunch instead. During summer break most districts still offer to those in need of breakfast and or lunch.

    Try the prison menu. Wednesday was hamburger day. Thursday was chicken leg quarters. Saturday and Sunday lunch was "brunch" that was just breakfast. Once a month was pizza (one slice). Hot dog night, we occasionally got two.

    “Variety of milk”? Kids these days! When I was a kid, there was only one kind of milk. (Well, I grew up on a dairy farm so there were two kinds: cold from the fridge and warm from the udder, straight into our mouths, as squirted by my dad.) (Wowie; has there ever been a more repellent sentence?)

    The best thing I ever learned was the maintenance code for these machines; you could have it dispense free drinks, change the prices, or even have the machine give you money. I never had it give me money, but I did change a couple of the machines at the mall in my city for cheaper/free drinks a couple times.

    I was in a production of Matilda the Musical and in one scene (when I grow up), I got to scooter across the stage on one of those with a cape. It was so much fun. :D Then for the bows all of the cast came onstage on scooters (not all at once but in one song), and it was such a pain because we had to organize and distribute scooters to 60 kids, half of which were under 11. I definitely hit my shins a few times.

    We had a Christmas gift exchange in like 3rd grade where everyone had to bring in a present and we each got to pick one. I was gonna grab the one my friend brought in, but then decided against it, for whatever reason, so I ended up getting a different gift. I got a monster truck (admittedly pretty cool) but the kid right after me got the one I ended up turning down, and it was three Bionicles! 3 of them! Which iirc was significantly past the $10 limit, those things were like $6-8 at least. I'm still salty about it to this day!

    I had a super Nintendo kiosk my friends parents got from a storage auction I would play. Wish I had kept it now probably worth something

    I love the xbox, I had the original, and the menu was awesome, the games awesom, and such a good music interface to use as a music player

    I loved the og Halo first coop fps I ever played. Ended up hacking mine still in the closet. Brought it to play outside of best buy for the PlayStation 3? release. Also grabbed the leak of the next Halo but it was all in French. Remember most of the lines in French

    I modded my psp after the end of support in the us. It was my retro games handheld for years. I'm really sad Sony decided to not support the vita and it would have really been awesome if it got some love. It replaced my psp for my emulator machine.

    Crisis Core. Beat the game right before bed, watched the final cutscene right before school the next morning, was inconsolable the whole day.

    I was old when the psp came out but had a bunch of fun with lumines. Sony and their proprietary formats
