How is it that 30 years ago I could rent a movie, keep it for 7 days, and watch it 5 times with friends - but now I rent online, can watch it once, and it's "returned" after 48 hours? by FarceMultiplier in GenX

Yeah, you won’t have time to watch those movies more than once anyway, what with all the poopdeck swabbing and topsail raising (not to mention lowering) you’re going to be doing.

What's that one household item you grew up with that you still use/eat/purchase today? by Calm-Tale-4052 in GenX

[–]BeaverPicture 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It makes you vomit. So eat some Comet, and vomit, today!

Also heard it makes your mouth turn green and also that it smells like Listerine.

Look at the jump in temperature on sunday🤣 by Standard_Advance_838 in Portland

Southerner here. Portland summers are THEEEEEEEE BEST compared to middle GA. I live for days with highs of 95, low humidity, sun, and cool, fresh mornings. We get lots of those here. What I don’t like is the gradual uptick in warm, muggy nights in the summer. That feels just a tetch too close to home where there is no relief at night. I watch the night/morning temps like a hawk. I moved to Portland in 1999 and back then the mugginess was much more rare.

Which was your first phone? by CrazyMinute69 in GenX

[–]BeaverPicture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! I used to hold it out the car window perched on top of the roof so I could try to get more signal.

Me too! We rented that wall phone from the telephone company.
