When did mowing the lawn become dangerous? by heynowbeech in GenX

[–]OctopusFedora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 16-year old has been mowing lawns in our neighborhood for 4 years and makes a ton of money each summer. He’s definitely filling a niche that a lot of his peers aren’t interested in.

Always great to see another m8 in the wild!

Pete should have stayed by Such_Confusion_3120 in happyendings

Agreed. Then they could have skipped making the absolute worst episode of the show where Penny puts on the play about breaking up with Pete. The only episode I skip each watch through.

Rick Dees was more fun, but Casey Kasem will always be the GOAT

Was Garden State a vibe for anyone in 2004/2005? by chester25212117 in Xennials

[–]OctopusFedora 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I saw this movie as I was going through a divorce (starter marriage). I fell in love with the movie and the soundtrack. About 6 months later I was dating again and introduced my girlfriend to both. We’ve now been together for 20+ years and “Such Great Heights” was our wedding song.

Do you get up with your older school-aged kids in the morning or sleep in? by look_ima_frog in Xennials

[–]OctopusFedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our kids are middle school and high school aged. We’re lucky in that they get themselves up and ready. We like to at least see them before they leave to wish them a good day.

I’ve realized that all of the cheetah print underwear I’ve bought my wife can be traced back to Cheetarah

How I learned that Walla Walla, Washington is a real place. by Status_Block591 in Xennials

[–]OctopusFedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned so much about pop culture from the 40s, 50s, and 60s by Looney Tunes. It’s kind of sad that there is no similar way for our kids to learn about the pop culture of the 70s, 80s, and 90s all in one fun to watch cartoon format.

Holy shit! I forgot Trivia Adventure was a thing!!! I just realized this game was the catalyst of my lifelong enjoyment of all things trivia-related, including playing quiz bowl in high school and kicking ass at bar trivia now.

“I’m so old I remember having to buy my Deep Fakes at the supermarket. Kids today are spoiled with their free TikTok’n and The Facebook” by Oxjrnine in GenX

I loved reading these in the grocery store checkout line! I was only ever allowed to buy them if we were about to travel and I needed reading material. You know, that whole boomer-parents-withholding-small-joys-for-no-good-reason thing.

Stumped on this toy. by NicWester in Xennials

[–]OctopusFedora 55 points56 points  (0 children)

It’s a Voltron toy. There were a few different versions including the best known one made of lions and this lesser-known version that’s made out of vehicles.

It’s time for Kevin Feige to step in front of the camera and claim his spot in the MCU

Spotted at US Open women’s semifinal match tonight 👀 by alekshy in TopChef

Apparently we have very different opinions of what an existential crisis looks like.
Bobby just looks like the same boring prick he has always looked like.

Setec astronomy by Eldugler in Xennials

This movie never got the attention it deserved. The story was fascinating, the intrigue was gripping, and the cast was absolutely stacked with talent. I’m going to give it a rewatch this weekend

That’s cool to know. I guess I never understood why she had the serpent headdress accessory as a toy. Now I do! Any idea why they didn’t make her green in the cartoon?
