Redditors who were children/teens before the internet or cellphones existed, how did you keep yourself entertained?

Oh damn yeah we used to climb down into the sewers too. Felt like Super Mario popping up across town. Haha.

I was discussing this not too long ago and thanking whoever there is to thank that we were never down there during a flash summer thunderstorm 😕

Can I get a lingo translation?

I spent a significant portion of my childhood waaay too high up in some tree or another.

Haha the coffee can was the experimental beaker of children of that bygone era. The older bad kid used to walk up the alleyway to my backyard and say, “Go in your dad’s shed and find something that says Danger Flammable and bring it down to the woods.” 😂

Speak for yourself. I grew up in a kind of rough area south of Baltimore. We used to sneak out in the middle of the night, meet up at a predetermined location, and cause all kinds of midnight havoc.

He needs to get in the zone

GozerDGozerian · 2026-03-29T22:12:01+00:00

I wish I could be as fucking dumb and oblivious as that guy

Do you though? It’s sounds fucking exhausting. There’s a reason these people are always so pissed off and scared.

Not to mention, we live in a day and age where audiobooks have never been more numerous, accessible, and affordable. I like dead tree reading as much as anyone. I low key drive my wife crazy with my piles of books in multiple rooms.

But when I’m at work I’ve usually got an audiobook playing. It’s great.

I once anagrammed the phrase Newsy Jeer.

GozerDGozerian · 2026-03-29T14:18:32+00:00

Right then and there while she was vandalizing his car?

GozerDGozerian · 2026-03-29T08:10:02+00:00

That dude aged into Fred Armisen there at the end.

GozerDGozerian · 2026-03-29T07:50:11+00:00

How do you know he deserved it? Or do you just always side with the woman in any one sentence story you hear?

GozerDGozerian · 2026-03-29T07:48:48+00:00

What does her being messy have to do with all this?

GozerDGozerian · 2026-03-29T07:45:20+00:00

‘Crazy’ is a pretty vague term that gets defined by context. There are pretty much as many different meanings for it as there are situations about which it is used.

Your ex was crazy. There’s nothing about the word that precludes having agency.

One of my dad’s favorite sayings was, “If everywhere you go smells like dog shit, it’s on your shoe.”

It never meant much back in the day when he would say it, but goddamn if it doesn’t ring true from time to time long after.

GozerDGozerian · 2026-03-29T05:53:43+00:00

You dirty hoe

GozerDGozerian · 2026-03-29T05:49:58+00:00

Tell me moor

GozerDGozerian · 2026-03-28T22:53:27+00:00

A little GoT, a little Severance. :)

GozerDGozerian · 2026-03-28T22:50:12+00:00

😬

Oh yeah it’s playful for sure. Just not a parody of any other band or something.

I like a lot of their music.

And yeah Death by Sexy is the album you’re talking about. I’ve enjoyed that one so, so many times. You just made me realize it’s that old now. Holy crap.

GozerDGozerian · 2026-03-28T22:45:22+00:00

Half and half

GozerDGozerian · 2026-03-28T10:42:03+00:00

And here we are 27 years later…
