Nostalgia, a sentimental longing for the past, is a very common and highly social-emotional experience. It is centered around the self, important social connections, and meaningful life events. In other words, when our mind drowns itself in these sentimental memories, it makes us revisit the precious moments we shared with friends and loved ones.

So to invite you on a new trip down memory lane, we at Bored Panda are continuing our series on the popular subreddit r/Nostalgia, and have once again compiled its best recent posts. Continue scrolling to check them out, and if you missed our earlier publications, catch up here, here, and here.

    Ka-CHUNK-A. Worked in a SW store in the late 80s, and what made things even more annoying was that we had to call in every purchase to be authorized. When we got our first mag-stripe swiper, there was much rejoicing. They still had to be called in, but the swiper did it for us, which was cool.
