Avid Bored Panda readers may remember the piece we did on the subreddit r/OldSchoolCool, where people share content from the past that still looks fantastic today. But now, we have something similar yet totally different for you — its weird "cousin" r/OldSchoolRidiculous.
Created back in December 2013, this online community is pretty much the same as its "relative", only it laughs at previous eras instead of celebrating them. The outdated stuff these folks feature varies from offensive social norms to tacky fashion trends but they all remind us of the irreversible passage of time.

“Fun For The Entire Family”
When it comes to describing their past, people tend to exaggerate. For example, parents who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s lie about their youth to make them seem cooler.
Research shows the most common fibs are that they were punks or goths or went to Glastonbury Festival or Ibiza before they became "too commercial."
They also claim to have been part of anti-Government protests or have been present at key sporting events.

Attending Live Aid, joining a youth sub-culture, and taking part in a political protest top the 1980s lie list.

More than half of the people surveyed (57 percent) admit they weren't as cool as they make out, while some parents say they can't actually remember what they got up to.

One of my relatives was an apprentice in a railway engine yard in the 70s. One day he and the other apprentices were told to pack asbestos around some part of a locomotive. They got bored and started making snowballs out of it to hurl at each other. He hasn't got mesothelioma *yet* as far as I know, but I hope he's getting regular checkups.

I feel like we've come a long way in realizing that a thing with some great properties can also have some bad properties. At least I hope so. It's weird when I think about what was okay in my childhood. Asbestos, lead paint, seat belts were not required in cars, DDT, plastic was praised as a wonderful new(ish) material, burn barrels for trash were common and we burned everything including that plastic. Lots more probably but those are some biggies that come to mind.

Rain Goggles For Racing Car Driver. In An Open Car, The Fan Would Start Moving At About 15 Miles Per Hour, Putting The Tiny Wipers In Motion And Clearing The Water From The Lenses. England, 1930s

I have worn glasses since I was 12 (I come from a family that’s myopic on both sides). I would LOVE to have prescription rain glasses like this! I hate going out in the rain because I end up not being able to see clearly out of my glasses because of the raindrops. You would be amazed at how raindrops can affect your vision through glasses. It can sometimes get rather scary. So social rain glasses with wipers would be great. I could put my regular glasses in their case, and use these—-much like I do with my sunglasses.

Kathryn Baylis 2 years ago (edited)
OK, here’s the lowdown from someone who used to have a rat tail, wore ripped fishnets, and slam danced. Teenagers experiment with fashion, music, and groups to hang out with. They’re trying them all on to see which one fits them best. Just let them cycle through until they find their own niche. The only thing to be vigilant about is their safety. The key to that is to love and accept them in each incarnation (knowing it might just be temporary), and keep honest communication open. Trust them, and they’ll trust you enough to tell you if they’re having problems, or are being pressured to do things they don’t want to, or they feel unsafe in a relationship but don’t know how to get out of it. In other words, flush the authoritarianism down the toilet, and be authoritative instead (talk, listen, and if there’s actual misbehavior, make the punishment fit the crime. If you’re fair, your kids will be cool with it). Your relationship with your kids will greatly improve, and your household will be way calmer. As an ex-punk who became a white collar worker in a suit, it all evens out in the end.

This is not 'ridiculous'. I have DONE this. Except the holes were cut in the base of the stumps with a chain saw and we used electric primers instead of a lit fuse. But it's not like anyone came and cleared your fields for you. Around our (very old) farm you'd find empty dynamite boxes and blasting cap cans here and there. Back then they did it probably more like in this picture. There is nothing wrong with having a book to tell you how to do it properly.

The 80s were a fun time to grow up. The story is pretty interesting as well. I never considered people fibbing about their childhood. I can honestly say I was a metal head throughout the 80s. I went to gazaris on the strip a few times, concerts all the time. Had the tee shirts that I wish I still had, the spikes, so cal in the 80s was a music paradise. I had to throw in punk and alternative to broaden my view. Still have pictures of me and my friends. Good times.

These are great! Funny, fascinating, insightful and occasionally shocking. We need more posts like this instead of stupid personal family crisis from Reddit.

A lot of these weren't really typical of the times. Before we get too condescending we should think about what people in the future will say about us.

In the 80s at least if someone wanted to make out they did that. Interesting times. Was gross but still

From reading these I’d say the past sucked majorly and thank God it produced feminists.

The '60s and '70s weren't a perfect time, but they were in many ways infinitely better than the crapsack world we live in today.

The matching outfits is still done in Korea, at Jeju Island. It's the honeymoon capital of Korea. Those couples are adorable and dorky 😀
