32 Nostalgic Posts From This Online Community That Perfectly Encapsulate Years Gone By
Ever felt, smelt, seen or heard something and been instantly transported back to “the good old days”? I know I have. Memories of the past can make us feel sad, or warm and fuzzy inside. They might even make us wish we were still little... living in a carefree time, unbothered by the stress of adulting, and the chaos of social media.
“Nostalgia is often triggered by something reminding you of a happier time,” reads the description of the r/nostalgia online community. It’s a place where 1.4 million people come to laugh and cry about days gone by. If you find yourself missing your childhood, fear not. We’ve lined up an epic trip down memory lane with a few blasts from the past that are bound to stir up all the nostalgic feels.
In the words of the online community, “grab your Pogs, Surge cans and Thriller cassettes” and keep scrolling for Bored Panda’s top picks from the page. Please upvote your favorites, and don't miss that chat we had with existential psychologist, Clay Routledge. He's the Vice President of Research & Director of the Human Flourishing Lab, and has done extensive research on the benefits of nostalgia.

So today, I accidentally broke my autistic brother’s favorite dragon tales plate and I can’t find it anywhere online. If someone finds one like or similar to it (online or in your basements) I’d pay you for it and you’d be really helping us out! Thank you, internet folk! :)
Update: Daniel has received the dragon tales plate thank you so much for everyone's support and help
