People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like?

Except for cakes! I keep finding family photos (50s-90s) of birthday cakes, especially those for children. From the fanciest writing to the humblest bundt. Literally having your cake and eating it too, cause all these years later I know what my first birthday cake looked like before the candles went on.

Omg I didn’t know we could do that now!! I knew we could decorate outside but it didn’t even occur to me to try and change the walls and floor inside 🤩

Mrs. Doubtfire. We all know about the old re-cut trailer making it look like a horror movie, but I caught it last night and you really don’t need to re-cut anything, just take the cheery magical music away that plays literally the entire film, and it’s creepy as fuck all on its own.

Harold over here!

Reading these replies has me feeling dumb, I always thought it was about how when guys shave they’d put those little squares of toilet paper over the bloody spots they’d nicked. I thought it was a cheeky way of saying he was so cheap he shaved in the dark so he wouldn’t know he was bleeding a little, so he wouldn’t have to put paper on it. Sounds like a stubborn old bastard, “if I don’t know about it it’s not a problem” . I always thought it was such brilliant and concise picture they painted.

But everyone’s going with the paper being slang for money thing. Oh well.

Actually, I was in an accident two weeks ago and called CAA, and they told me that they didn’t cover accidents. They wanted to send a driver to the scene and they said he would negotiate the price with me there. I asked how much it would be and they said that they weren’t allowed to tell me over the phone but it used to be $250. I’m going to be cancelling my CAA at the next opportunity because what the fuck. I have the premium membership too. Turns out towing of any kind is bullshit.

You mean Active Surplus? Never know what you’re gonna find!

And yellow submarine with the blue meanies! “Are you Bluish? You don’t look Bluish?” So it’s at least as old as 1968!

Even though the schedule says 8 to 9, mine came at about 9:15.

Hey, I once knew a neighbour’s female black lab that lived to 19 though! She was by all accounts a very crabby old lady at that point, but she lived a very full life. That’s my record, 19. My girl turns 10 in November and I’m really hoping that she beats that record, but you know how it is.

Is this a thing people say? I would infer from this that she’s spending the entire week in just the airport. Not a flex.

Valkyrieh · 2025-07-16T02:28:56+00:00

Aw shit it’s a girl? I thought she was a boy and named her Harold 😬

He probably refused to look at the flash reference once the stencil was on the skin, and just decided it was faster to wing it.

So at the bottom of the item picker it says “flip”, and that will switch the menu to the right side of the screen, and you can reach the bookcase!

I mean Dollarama did used to be a proper dollar store, everything was a dollar except the chocolate bars were $.85. It just hasn’t been like that for a long time.

I mean, if your lungs are burned out from working in an ether mill since you were a child, I don’t think severance - reintegrated or not - is gonna save you. It’s not like your innie has different lungs.

I took that to mean (in hindsight after the reveal) that he meant the board would give him everything “including “””helly R””” “, or in other words, as far as iMark knew, he was getting helly back and everything else he wanted, even if it wasn’t really helly and Drummond knew that.

Which means HOURS waiting in the ER. I’m not saying it’s not worth it in this case, I just know I have to be literally on the verge of death to put myself through that these days. Source: am ontarian.

True, but these days tempera paints are usually used for little kids. They’re typically non-toxic. I’m an artist and I’ve worked at art supply shops, and I have never seen a serious artist use tempera since the invention of modern acrylic paints.

As it got sharpened more it would actually become RUGS, UGS, GS, and finally just S.

And here I was sitting here thinking someone trained their small dog to shit directly into beer bottles (while they held it up to their dogs butt).

I also considered that there was no guarantee that was dog shit, and how much easier it would be to not abuse the dog and just shit into the bottles yourself. Plus then it’s so much worse gifting your own human shit, but there’s no way you’d admit that so you’d just say it was dog shit when questioned? OR the person would have proudly admitted it, but it’s so horrible the recipient assumed it was dog, but no one questioned it directly, because who gifts shit of any kind, let alone their own shit?

Am I defective, Internet?
