I think back to my adolescence and wonder if I would have survived if I had today’s social media. I feel like 20 years later there’d still be a meme with a picture of me in one of my wiser teenage moments and my child would be asking me about it.

That is a sad truth. Nowadays if you do or write something stupid, it more likely dan not ends up on social media (by yourself or others) and it can come back to haunt you for years after the event.

I feel really bad for some teenagers today. There is so much pressure on them to be on social media 24/7 and share every facet of their life on TikTok or SnapChat. That leads to comparing yourself against your peers and friends which is never healthy. Damn, I was a dorky a*s teen that did some dumbass s**t, but I think I blossomed into a pretty badass adult. I still feel really self-conscience and yucky when I spend too much time on social media, so I can only imagine what it does to teens' self-esteem.

Let's be honest, did we really do the amount of stupid stuff kids do today? No one was enticing us to do things like jump out of our car and dance while it is moving, etc and so on.

Nah, but we did jump our bikes over our friends, jump off of snow-covered this into snow covered that, did keg stands and one night stands, etc. Childhood and young adulthood are hard enough without the world standing by, judging from your pocket computer.

Can we all please try remember this next time your niece posts a thirst-trap selfie or the next Jaden Smith starts tweeting about his newfound personal philosophy? All kids are stupid. At least we were allowed to grow out of our childhoods. Also, stop posting photos of your kids without their permission. Not just because they will (definitely) resent you for it later, but it's also an issue of personal safety and identity ownership.

Firstly, we wanted to know the story behind why he created the account. “The story behind the page is that I would remember or come across a picture of something from my childhood, toys I grew up with, foods that have been discontinued, stores I used to shop at that were no longer around, and then the content to family and friends.”
“Eventually, I decided to post them on social media so others who grew up in the 80s and 90s could see them too, and then it just kind of grew organically. I had no idea I'd one day have hundreds of thousands of followers on social media,” he shared.

We also wanted to know what he thought attracted people to the page and this sort of content in general. “I think the main appeal is the combination of humor and nostalgia, not everything I post has humor, but I do try to add humor to my content when possible.”
I believe nostalgia-based content is popular online because it's sort of a mental time travel that reconnects us to who we are and our past, it was a simpler time in our lives and brings back a lot of happy memories, like a favorite toy you had when you were a kid, or a movie or TV show that you used to love but totally forgot about. It doesn't matter what walk of life you came from; we were all watching the same commercials, and TV shows, and looking forward to finding the prize at the bottom of a cereal box.”

Me and my husband bought our house in 2010. It was built in 1985 and had the same GE fridge from then. If we had a power outage, (not very often) when the power came back on, the compressor would chug and chug and it would eventually kick in. Things were def made to last back then. Bought a super basic GE top freezer back in 2016. Curious to see how long this one will last.

I show this to my Theatre History class: The name 'Ubu" comes from a late 19th c French play by Alfred Jarry called "Ubu Roi" (Ubu the King).

My husband and I have taken good care of ourselves our whole lives, and it shows. We look younger than our ages (and neither of us use fillers or have had “work” done). But, whenever either of us has a medical type appointment (doctor, dentist, optometrist, etc) and hear other people give their birthdates, it’s just weird how f*****g old and decrepit so many people look—-who are anywhere up to ten years younger than we are! Get your sleep. Eat well balanced meals. Exercise. Shower regularly. Clean your teeth at least twice every day. Keep your skin healthy. Avoid too much sun exposure. Wear your sunscreen. Avoid alcohol and recreational drugs. Now, even with the “avoids”, I’m not saying doing it once in a while is going to kill you. Just don’t start making it an everyday thing. Take good care of yourself. The younger you start, the better. Sure, being lucky and having good DNA helps, but you can help your DNA too, by just taking care.

It’s fascinating how takes like this reflect a) a massive lack of self-awareness and b) a massive lack of understanding about what the writers of Dirty Dancing were saying about society. Baby’s father’s character represents conservative parents who do good for others within their own spheres but ultimately think that the poor are bad people. Agreeing with him doesn’t mean you’re smarter than a fictional character; it means you’re the kind of real person the writers were calling out via the narrative of the movie.

There's nothing wrong with the film. The age gap was normal for the 1960s. They didn't know then what we do now about human development. Johnny didn't have anger issues; he got angry when he had reason to be angry. People treated him like sh*t and made constant assumptions about him. He was a good guy who helped his friend/dance partner when needed it and helped a shy wallflower feel like she was part of things (in the scene where Baby brings a watermelon into the party). People need to let go of their pearls.

I’ve been waiting for my own personal Rosie the Robot to stay home to clean and cook, so I don’t have to. I’ve been a working woman since I was 18. I sure as hell wished I had someone home to do all the housework and cooking so I didn’t have to—-you know, like a man who’s married to a SAHM. That’s the thing. Men had wives to take all those responsibilities off their backs, so of f*****g course they could work all those extra hours and build their careers, and still manage to live in clean homes, eat home cooked meals, and get enough sleep every night. Their wives, working or not, didn’t. So yes, once we can have our own Rosies taking care of the house and meals, women can ALSO have those luxuries that men traditionally had—-and still have a hell of a lot more than we do, tbh. Maybe then we can finally have more representation in business and politics, and start actually leveling the playing field. FFS.

It’s important to remember that nostalgia isn’t just some term marketers use to get us to buy things, it's a very real emotion with its own benefits. Some research suggests that it helps us remember better days as a substitute for current sadness. This, interestingly, often allows a person to pull through. So if you are in need of a pick-me-up mentally, feel free to check out our other articles on nostalgic content.

We lived in a rural area so houses were spread out from each other. So when our kids got to the age of wanting to egg or TP a house they were all too far away except our one neighbor who had kids about the same age. So we the parents, decided that we would let the kids go for it at each other's houses but the rule was if you do it, you have to go over the next day and clean it up. Didn't take too many times for kids to figure out it wasn't as fun as they thought it would be. They got to be rowdy teenagers but learned responsibility real quick. Figured out that it was something they could live without.

You are a whippersnapper. It was an 80s thing, where jeans had to be skintight, we would wear a new pair in the bath to shrink them to our bodies and had to lie down on our backs to do the fly zip up. The ankle zips were so we could actually get them over our feet.

Close, our garlic bread was made from hot dog buns. And now I want some!
Nikki Gross 2 years ago
Hot dog and hamburger buns were for combined summer birthday parties that were done as cook outs only, Otherwise it was cheap white bread for all 4.

I used to tuk my feet into the basket underneath. One day a kid freaked out and asked how I did that. And that was the day I figured out I have double jointed ankles

I don'tknow. Although very similar there are noticeable differences too. If it was a Kirk mask the did some alterations to it, like exaggerated some features.

The make-up artists said " We bought the William Shatner mask and cut out the eyes, brushed out, darkened and placed additional hair then stretched out the face and painted it white " I remember reading an article about different masks and prosthetics used in Sci-fi and horror films.

Funnier still, rumour has it William Shatner once dressed as Michael Myers for Halloween.

I did overseas US military service in the '90s. Armed Forces Radio & Television Service always had the weirdest most obscure shows they could broadcast without having to pay a dime. Passions was one of them, and it was one of the least bizarre shows you could find to watch. PS: If you're working out the acronym, yes, us service members did fondly refer to it as "A-FARTS"

Most of these were “technology bad” and “kids are so weak these days” memes, I’m gonna get downvoted to hell, but they’re just annoying at this point
Amelia Jade 2 years ago
You're not wrong though. I'm so tired of all the people insisting kids don't play outside, or hang out without technology. Are these people even around kids? I've raised three since 2000 and they and all their friends were always outside, running around the neighborhood, playing sports, riding bikes, etc. We have a walking path and park behind our house and I still see teens hanging out back there, just shooting the s**t, ALL the time. But for some reason everyone has convinced themselves kids don't do those things anymore.

Respectfully, if they are getting tiresome, in your opinion, don't look at them. There are those of us who really enjoy them. You can tell that by the comments. Thank you

Some of these are nostalgic for all kids aswell. Also why are some of these just slandering 2000s and 2010s kids childhoods. Most I fypu are the older generation that caused this and are for some reason blaming the kids that you lot raised. Smh

I agree. I’m amongst the oldest millennials and definitely in the target group for this kind of nostalgia but it gave me kind of a weird feeling. Some of the entries were a little amusing, but many of them seem to connote a misplaced sense of cultural superiority and judgey nostalgia that would cause lots of millennials to roll their eyes if boomers were doing it.

I feel like only old people like the posts that feel the need to make it a contest about which generation was best: Newsflash, none of them, you're just biased and will obviously prefer your timeline from when you were young. People that were kids and young adults in the 80s prefer the 80s, people from the 70s, people from the early 2000s and so on. Y'all really became your parents 😂 not so young anymore, now you're the old farts wishing you were a kid again and dogging on young people today.
