Truth!

That tv setup meant a good day every time.

except nobody holds up their cat/dog for everyone to see

still want it TBH

Great metaphor!

Oh yes, spilling the juice while running back to the tv and constantly bumping your knees or toes when jumping over the furniture... but thanks to the adrenaline: no pain felt!

I had the 16 colour version. It was a bitch to write with because it was so fat.

That cashier was just jealous that you got to experience Blockbuster and they didn't lol

🤣🤣🤣🤣kids please.....

I absolutely love these, and trust me I'm not that old

Hey, this one actually made me feel good. They ditched the Delorean?

Ohhhhhhhh the feeling

And still have no idea how to play minesweeper 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks, Macaulay. I wish you would look up to Bart Simpson, he doesn't age like that.

I'm a millenial, but I get angry too.

HAD? Still use 'em!

I still think the 90s were 10 years ago.

UK specific but when I was a kid in the 80's we had a grand total of 4 TV channels to choose from.

Well, they played a nifty tune first, and then some nice white noise to fall asleep to...

Oh yeah, Disney on a Sunday night, that one hits home.

My Kids freak out every time I tell them I wasn't born in this Millennium

I'm not loving it

hahaha, I actually thought to myself: wow, she actually kept in touch with him even tho it wasn't her baby?

I had a Nokia c2 when I was 10 or 11. Used to feel quite smug typing fast without looking at the keyboard.

Good old times when you wrote texts with buttons. So much more effective and much faster with fewer errors. Plus you could write with one hand without looking :)

"And then t9 came and it was just... Well kids, let's say that's how autocowrecked started".

I still have my old RAZR V3i, I loved using that thing. :)

Ah, kids. In my day, you had to text using a rotary dial.

At least you had a phone, mine was two empty pork and beans can and a string.

Yeah, but you could do that without looking! I hate typing on a smartphone

One dial phone on a party line

Had to call the grocery store for them to page my parents over the intercom if I needed to talk to them while they were out, if they weren't at that store we were just stuck waiting for them to get home (we lived 45 minutes from town, remember thinking we wished there was a way they could take a phone with them.) 🤣

yes!

When I was a kid only rich people had car phones and nobody had regular cell phones. If you needed to connect with someone you either went to their house or called them on the house phone. If they weren't home, you left a note on the door

We were poor.. I didn't have a mobile device until I was 25.

I've still got a Nokia, this year has been the first for me where not having a smart phone's got in the way of my life (showing tickets that can't be printed)

I still do. I have a flip phone. How much do I hate to text? I'd rather eat my own eyeballs.

First phone was a Nokia 3360. I was 16. Good times.

I still use a flip phone

Blackberry was my phone of choice lolz

I hated texting! I had an LG Chocolate and I love

Nokia was the best!!

I loved typing on my flip phone really fast because I know that whoever rec'd that text would need to guess. A Lot.

I loved that Razr

Star tac then nokia

I had a Razr that was silver, iirc.

I'm 37 and I remember our family getting our first smart phone. The classic Nokia.... We had one for the longest time for the 3 of us. Whoever was leaving would take it with them since we had the land lines at the house. I still remember my Uncle saying "they have a sms option. 10 cents to type out each message and send it. How stupid is that? Why would you type a message out and send it when we can just call now so easily. I don't see that catching on." We also had to try to keep our calls under a minute or two until after 9pm. A little later they bumped it down to 7pm.

T9 was my jam. None of my friends could figure it out but I was quite good at it. Good enough to text while my phone was in my pocket

I hated texting with those stupid number keys. So much easier to just call.

In my day you had to work a leet 13++3/2 (letter);code for the numeric beeper

I maintain to this day that no phone felt as sci fi and futuristic as the Razr and no phone since then has the same visceral feel and visual appeal as flipping open the Razr . . . . .

I had a nokia last year :D
