tapping the pickup thing ftw

also this wasn't recent, but a couple of Christmas parties ago a gal in her twenties who wasn't dumb by any stretch was astonished to find out about that "ai em dee bee" web site, she'd only been using wikipedia for movie info
 
My little sister's oldest just turned 21, and celebrated with a bar crawl in the same area my friends and I used to go. And looking at his pictures and it just looked like a bunch of children.
 
Seeing a picture of girls in club dresses ready for a night out. Dresses so short I hope they know how to bend over or get out of a car.

Then discovering they're 13 year old girls dolled up for their 8th grade dance.
 
There's a grocery store here that's changed ownership a few times but still has the same setup and some items from the 80's. One of the little bars to stop the conveyer belt had the MAC logo on it.

I used to get straight-up vertigo walking into my bank. 12 useless teller windows, blocky security cams from the 90s everywhere. Pre-ATM chaos.

They finally remodeled it last year and cut it down to two windows.

Yes, but do you remember, let's pull over, open up the glove compartment (remember when gloves where a thing) and actually unwrap and look at a paper map and try to figure out where you are and where the map says you should be?

It's been decades.

Because "autism" (and amateur radio, but I repeat myself) I bought one of these last year.

I didn't feel old the first time the woman cutting my hair asked if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed, it was the next day when I looked in the mirror after taking a shower and thinking I should have had her trim my eyebrows.

I always have my eyebrows trimmed, otherwise I look like a fucking werewolf.

GameStop is now considering PS3, 360, and Wii U to be retro consoles. I guess it would be cool to buy those games in stores now.

As for gamers, they didn’t feel so good after the declaration. “I’m only 37 and this is making me feel like I’m 60, Xbox 360,” @HuskyJesus replied on X (formerly Twitter), along with crying emojis. “PS3 and Wii U are officially retro,” he added, with a sad John Cena gif.

“Me who grew up on the Wii U, and Xbox 360 finding out I’m an Unc in my early twenties,” @CFCJ0hn wrote, attaching a sad gif from Spider-Man 3. “Bro they called them historic artifacts,” @PiousProgrammer said with a tears flowing emoji. “Why you gotta do us dirty like that?”

Get on my level, the NES and the Sega Genesis were considered retro when I was a teenager in the early 2000s.

Finding out yesterday that “unc” is now zoomerfag slang for old person and being genuinely confused why they don’t just call someone gramps or grandpa or something similar if they want to roast them for being old. How the fuck is unc or uncle synonymous with old fart?

Naturally I got called unc for questioning this.

The answer is niggers. Niggers refer to any nigger in their tribal habitat as a relative of some kind, because they most likely are as niggers are highly incestuous which is where those stats about the South being inbred comes from, but because they are niggers they don't actually know their family tree, therefore older niggers and negresses are uncs and aunties, and similarly aged niggers are cuz's. So for the nigger an older male is an assumed Uncle or unc in niggerspeak

I was very pleasantly surprised when a video of something from twenty seven years ago surfaced and it turns out my memories of the con weren't too far off from the reality
I def misestimated the crowd but it was small for the thing, just not _as_ small as I recalled
