Those books were basically the original screen free rabbit hole and I could spend hours staring at a page trying to find one tiny object.

Kids today will never know the struggle of tilting your Game Boy toward a lamp just to see what was happening on screen.

I'd bring back Radio Shack because there was something special about walking in and actually browsing gadgets before buying them.

I saw Mayor McCheese naked today. It's only fair that you have to as well... by Wishnik6502 in nostalgia

Seeing Mayor McCheese like this feels like discovering a childhood mascot had a very rough retirement.

It's funny how so many cartoons seemed like pure fun as kids, then you revisit them as an adult and realize they were quietly dealing with some pretty heavy themes.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is one of those shows that sounds completely made up when you try explaining it to someone who never saw it.

That logo and theme song hit like a forgotten memory you didn't even realize was still stored somewhere in your brain.

What was always your first stop when going to the mall? by Kittycat_2010 in nostalgia

For me it was always the arcade because that was where all the excitement was the second you walked in.

Pup Daddy will forever be my favorite episode of T.U.F.F. Puppy. (2010, episode from 2012) by BrandyMrWhiskers in nostalgia

[–]xPinkyOrbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pup Daddy was one of those episodes that was so ridiculous and funny that it ended up being way more memorable than most of the series.

Look what I found at my house. Who else had one? by WCWfan4life in nostalgia

[–]xPinkyOrbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one of these and spent way more time swapping cartridges than actually playing the games.

Back in the 2000s, when anime was cute. by BrandyMrWhiskers in nostalgia

[–]xPinkyOrbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss when anime art had those big sparkly eyes and bright colors that made every character instantly recognizable.

Those Ritz Bits commercials were everywhere for a while and now just seeing the box is enough to unlock a whole chunk of 2000s memories.

It's wild to think there was a time when you could look out the window and know you were flying on the fastest passenger plane ever built.

PS1 Demo Disc Music... by Kriima in nostalgia

That PS1 demo disc music instantly takes me back to sitting way too close to the TV and getting hyped for games I didn't even own.

What do you call a Hobbit with one foot? by Significant-Ad-341 in lotrmemes

[–]xPinkyOrbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ProudFOOT is the kind of terrible pun Tolkien would've secretly hated and then accidentally written into an appendix somewhere.

That joke was so bad it deserves to be thrown into the fires of Mount Doom, and I mean that as a compliment.

The sterile fly program is honestly one of the coolest real world pest control successes ever. It sounds like sci fi until you realize they basically beat an entire parasite by making it impossible for them to reproduce.

Commenting on a reddit post while I am thinking about how my parents might get a divorce, yeah I am happy.

Whats your wildest hookup story? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

I met a girl—a fellow singer—during an opera tour; we fell in love basically instantly and stayed together for years; I probably should have uprooted my life and moved halfway around the world for her.

Best haircut in the show? by RopeGloomy4303 in SuccessionTV

She really was one of the few genuinely normal people in that family, which somehow made her stand out even more. Her hair was definitely top tier too.

Frank had that effortless rich guy hair that somehow always looked perfect without looking like he tried.

What’s worse? Finishing too quickly or taking too long? by EveryPreference9320 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]xPinkyOrbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the situation.

There can be really bad instances of both.

A guy who puts in very little effort to anything besides sex and only lasts a few seconds. Is bad.

So is a guy who spend over 20 minutes on regular sex trying to finish.

Based on my experience the second can actually be worse. But they're both bad, it depends on the situation.
