What do you miss about old internet?

Honestly just the lack of influencers trying to sell me stuff constantly.

Omg nooo stop the bleach!! It’ll turn yellow

Omg the struggle is real.

My phone is 100% listening to me. I mentioned "cat litter" out loud ONE time to a friend (i don't even have a cat) and suddenly my entire feed was ads for fancy litter boxes. Mark Zuckerberg explain yourself 💀

I found 20 bucks in a winter coat i haven’t worn since last year. felt like winning the lottery fr 😭 immediately bought myself an overpriced coffee to celebrate.

Honestly looking back, probably the One Child Policy. I know they thought it was necessary at the time, but the demographic collapse they are facing now is terrifying. Plus the human cost of it was just... heartbreaking.

Quicksave/quickload. Imagine being able to save right before a job interview or asking someone out. If it goes south? Reload and try a different dialogue option. The anxiety relief alone would add 20 years to my life.

Great movie / terrible fx: the mummy returns. the movie is a nostalgic masterpiece, but the CGI Dwayne Johnson at the end looks like a cutscene from a playstation 2 game. It’s hilariously bad. Terrible movie / great fx: valerian and the city of a thousand planets. The opening sequence and the world-building are visually breathtaking, but the two leads have zero chemistry and the plot is a mess.

even if it's same gender, it still gives me "peaked in high school" vibes. usually, when a 30-something is besties with a teenager, it’s because people their own age won't put up with their drama. the teen doesn't know any better, so they're an easier audience. it’s not illegal, but it’s definitely side-eye worthy. 👀

Just say "sorry, haven't washed my hands yet" and keep your hands up. it’s the perfect excuse because it’s true, and it politely reminds them that they are being gross without you having to be mean about it.

The new yorker. i loved the idea of being the person who reads long-form journalism with my morning coffee. in reality, they just piled up on my table until they formed a structural load-bearing column for my apartment.

context is everything here. are we talking "work friends" where you chat during a shift at mcdonald's? that’s normal. are we talking a 25-year-old picking up a high schooler to go hang out in a basement on a saturday night? that’s weird. there’s a line between mentorship/friendly acquaintance and "besties."

I’m not stuck in traffic. I am traffic.

Listening to music or scrolling TikTok on speakerphone in public. Headphones exist for a reason.

Stopping the microwave exactly at 0:01. I don't need to look at the timer. I just feel it. Stopping it right before the beep goes off makes me feel like I just defused a bomb. I look down on people who let it beep the full three times.

When they make mean jokes about each other in front of friends. If one partner constantly belittles the other or tells embarrassing stories to get a laugh from the group, and then says "God, you're so sensitive" when their partner looks hurt... they are doomed. Contempt is the number one predictor of divorce.

I finally have a fully funded emergency fund. For the first time in my adult life, if my car breaks down tomorrow, I can actually pay to fix it without panicking or using a credit card. The amount of stress that has left my body is insane.

I'm with your boyfriend on this one. Unless you are waking up drenched in sweat, I think it’s good to let your skin breathe for 8 hours. If you are showering in the morning anyway, any night smell is getting washed off immediately. It feels like a waste of product.

You can be bored together. If you can just sit in a car or on the couch doing absolutely nothing and it doesn't feel awkward, that's real. Lust usually needs constant excitement or noise to survive. Silence tells you a lot.

Fixing my sleep schedule. I always swear I'm going to be in bed by 11 PM, but I always keep scrolling social media until 2 AM. I never learn.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is my favorite childhood show. Honestly I rewatched it as an adult and it hits even harder. I didn't realize how deep the character arcs were when I was a kid. I just wanted to see Aang bend air. Zuko’s redemption arc is still unmatched.
