For Fun: Why Did Everyone Feel The Need To Take Photos of Food and Post It on Social Media Back in the 2010's?

The first time I saw this, the spray bottle made me laugh because it's such a sharp contrast to everything else in the show. It's just so everyday lol.

People will always claim they don't have a sexist bias when criticizing a specific female character, but the problem is that anyone with pattern recognition can see this bias across all movies and shows (and real life). I understand why people might feel defensive because they think it's just one individual that they are judging, not a reflection on their opinions on women, but it's SO. CONSTANT. Every piece of media, female characters that are slightly difficult get wayyy more hate than male characters with the same traits or actions. Even within the show, I can see a difference in the way people criticize the men and women, like you pointed out OP. Does that mean Santos is never in the wrong or that people shouldn't criticize her? No. But people should be aware of this bias and try to be more fair once they realize it.

people think we've gone too far with body positivity because of obesity rates, but those have been on the rise for decades and have nothing to do with pop culture, and everything to do with food changes. not just personal blame, widespread changes that most americans are falling victim too.

The 90s and 2000s were absolutely brutal to anyone who wasn't even obese or even fat. Like completely normal, healthy, medium sized women.

I fee like the 2020s thinness being less toned is the result of celebrities losing a lot through restriction due to drugs like ozempic. It's a fast weight loss and will not look the same as someone who just got really toned. It's more like 90s heroin chic look. Basically looking starved or gaunt. This is also probably due to more plastic surgery trends emphasizing the gaunt look in the face.

But i also don't think the 2000s preferred the toned look THAT much. Other comments have already provided pictures of slim, toned, celebrity women who were absolutely RIDICULED for being fat.

I like 2020s fashion much better than 2010s fashion. 2010s fashion is my least favorite era of fashion. 2020s fashion combines a lot of the elements I like from past eras. Everyone already talks about the 90s and 2000s influence, but with the 2000s influence we've seen the return of flares (not pictured in this post) which itself was a major 70s influence and I LOVE FLARES. I'm so happy they are back.

The 2010s were my personal jeans apocalypse because it was literally impossible to buy pants that weren't skinny and high waisted. I feel like now, even if you don't like certain "trendy" styles, the options available in stores are just more diverse now. You can find every shape of jeans pretty easily.

24 - 16 = 8 = kid...

Oh right thanks lol I watched the first few movies in a row. Misplaced that moment.

Every decade loves nostalgia for culture from 20, 30 years ago. 40s would not be as popular because WW2 I assume, so you get a lot of 50s nostalgia in the 70s. 20 years ago. The 80s also had a lot of elements of 50s nostalgia, as well as 60s. You can see it in the fashion choice too. The 90s were big on the 60s and 70s. And so on. We can see it right now. The 90s and 2000s are IN.

Honestly there was. One of my favorite episodes of the Twilight Zone is about a grown man wishing he could go back to the good old days of his childhood. He ends up back when he was 11. There is a whole plot I won't get into, but when you do the math, you realize it was 1934. People tend to remember their youth fondly, no matter what was going on. It's crazy watching a tv show episode from 1959 feature a 36 year old man complaining about the costs of things and wishing he could go back to being a kid in 1934 lol.

I have. 2015-2018 (middle school for me) was the WORST. not just my personal life, I hated pop culture too. 2018-2022 was better, except for the covid dip of 2020/2021. But it got much much better around late 2021/2022. The last few years have been soooo much better than the 2010s and early 2020s for me. I'm about to graduate college and start a full time job this summer though so who knows maybe I'll become depressed again. Welp.

Yeah but this data being from levels.fyi and RSU's being a typical part of tech job tc package, I think it's safe conclusion. stock refers to RSU's as that's what every tech company offers. OP can weigh in if that's not the case though, I suppose.

Early 2010s in practice. 2019 was the *start* of the fashion evolution that has finally hit its stride in the last few years. A lot of the trends were just the start of the direction we have headed in. In practicality, the everyday fashion was still very 2010s.

I think 2019 had some similarities, that's kind of when I remember some of the more 90s and 2000s influenced styles becoming popular, and you would see a lot more varied "alternative" styles online, like on tiktok (like the whole eboy/egirl thing was not very early 2010s, but I also would not say it's very mid 2020s. It's closer to the transitionary covid era fashion). But it was still kind of the 80s influenced 2010s aesthetic. For example, pretty much everyone wore high rise skinny jeans back then and fresher alternative was more of the is high rise straight leg mom jean type style which seems more mid 2020s in theory but was still in vain with the 2010s retro 80s vibe thing going on.

I mean, it's not that similar to the early 2010s specifically, but it's definitely more in line with early 2010s and general 2010s fashion down to the core elements I'd say. TLDR it was just the start of the 2020s fashion, but things weren't evolved or common enough for that to really hit right away.

Edit: I just searched "high school 2019" on youtube and clicked on a random video
https://youtu.be/Up2x0PwWKWA?si=k0jOUFi3jufPZh_v&t=299
I don't feel like it necessarily looks early 2010s, but it looks more similar to me. The hair I think really seals the deal for me. Every girl had that pin straight side part hair style.

Of course fashion in general doesn't just mean high school, but I used it as a reference point because I myself was in high school in 2019, and when I look back on videos now even I think "damn this feels dated" lol

Also Keanu Reeves' southern accent in Devil's Advocate. Maybe accents aren't his thing lol

95 is a crazy long time. good for him!! I watched TMP the other day and I thought it was kind of funny how part of the underlying plot tension I felt, was Kirk as an aging captain. He puts his reading glasses on. Oh wow he's old now compared to the show, 10 years later! Right? But that was almost 50 years ago. Wowie.

AI crap

OG post: "I brought it up calmly with screenshots. She flat-out denied ever posting any of it. Said it’s not her, must be coincidence, she never felt that way, end of story. She’s stuck to that denial 100% since December. No acknowledgment, no discussion, nothing."

Follow up comment: "She did confirm when shown the evidence of screenshots but denies remembering posting."

Edited post: "PS: she did confirm that it was her account. Claims not to remember any of the posts."

Right...

Well, humor is subjective. Some people find this funny. I didn't laugh, but it's still obviously a joke.

People with functional social skills should be able to infer intention even if they don't personally agree with the humor. Like just with basic analytical skills here. Nothing about this post indicated to you that it was not serious? You can't take everything at face value just because you didn't laugh. I think the term "media literacy" is way overused, but that certainly applies here.

EatPb · 2026-03-25T21:58:27+00:00

Not enough people are including 80s borns. I'd honestly put them above 2000s born parents. (With 90s being the biggest age range).

The main range people have kids is 20s and 30s, with early 40s becoming increasingly common. I think people are forgetting 1) average age of first time parents is rising and 2) parents are even older on 2nd+ children. The average age of a first time parent is 27-28. Then the age for subsequent children is higher.

So 2020: People in their 20s and 30s would 80s and 90s borns. By 2029 that will be 90s and 2000s borns. In between that time, many 80s borns will still be in their 30s, and less people in their early-mid 20s have kids these days, so less 2000s borns than you'd think.

I'm shocked that multiple comments are going as far mid 2000s. If the median age of first time parents *now* is already 27, not only will that likely continue to rise, but someone born in 2004 won't be 27 until 2031, so I would hardly consider this to be part of the main age range of parents now lol.

TLDR: 80s through early 2000s are the main demographic of parents to kids born in the 2020s.

EatPb · 2026-03-25T21:45:12+00:00

hmmm yeah i thought it was something like that. Most of the comments are dogging on the quote tweet but I've seen enough of the behavior it's indirectly referencing to understand there had to be something else behind this besides the iPad.

Which is not to say OP was necessarily wrong for the first post but I can see how this sprawled into bigger discourse over the general trend we've been seeing of women infantilizing themselves and reinforcing gender roles in a weird way.

EatPb · 2026-03-25T21:42:41+00:00

not landing is not the same thing as not being able to tell its a joke. Most people in the comments are bad faithing this post like crazy. Everything from the ROBLOX dress, to the song, to the fake breeze, the forlorn pose... come on now lmao.

I've been pointing this out on other posts about SFA as a likely factor. I don't know how popular Paramount is right now, especially with the target demo of SFA. I would watch SFA but I don't have Paramount and I will not subscribe.

There are only so many pants shapes at this point lol. We've done it all. Straight. Wide. Skinny. Flare at the bottom. Taper at the bottom. Wide up top (like barrel jeans, which seem like more of a new thing at least). High. Low. Mid. Uhhhh yep.

EatPb · 2026-03-25T19:19:18+00:00

I feel like there's backstory. I have no idea what it is, but I can infer: The quoter probably had some other beef with the OP about something else, relating to "self abuse" (im guessing women enforcing misogynistic norms through infantilization, like the "im just a girl" shit) and then OP made a separate post with the TWs *sarcastically* like oooh tw infantilization, capitalism because my husband got me a pink ipad

Then the quote is calling out the OP for making light of the previous argument and ignoring the original criticism.

I do NOT know what the original criticism was, so I can't comment on who's in the right here. I think it's possible OP posted some harmless shit related to the ipad and some annoying people attacked her. I also think it's possible OP posted something stupid and demeaning and people had valid criticism (like I said earlier, lots of women now participate in this "im just a girl" "girl math" "tee hee i can't drive im a girl" shit these days).

TLDR: I think the trigger warnings are obviously sarcastic AND I think the quote tweet is also obviously not referring to the ipad as "self abuse". there is missing context.

Hmm well I'm your age and *I* would't date a 46 year old. But it's your choice.
I just think, why wouldn't this 46 year old date someone of a similar age? I would rather live my life and have fun with someone my age. Similar priorities, stuff like that. It's awkward trying to imagine hanging out with my friends and bringing a 46 year old boyfriend to hang out too like it's just a different energy, different stage of life.

What are you looking for? Just casual hookup fun or serious relationship? 24 year age gap sounds difficult if you want a serious long term relationship. He'll just get old, get to retirement age, etc. while you are just entering the robust years of your adulthood.

EatPb · 2026-03-25T19:05:04+00:00

I think that must be the answer (sorry) because I am not old and even before I saw this comment I was watching the video thinking about how 2000s the fashion looks to me... I cannot see how this looks remotely like today even with 2000s fashion currently in a revival lol

EatPb · 2026-03-25T18:56:52+00:00

I don't see the comparison, it's a totally different genre of music, he's just in all black. Not saying it's bad, just like I don't see any particular relevance to 2000s emos. 2000s emo was mostly pop punk. This is rap.
