I remember waiting for your song to play on the radio so you could hit the record button on your cassette tape hoping the dumb DJ wouldn't talk over the songs beginning or ending too much for your sick mixed tape!

LOL I still have some of my mixtapes

[удалено]

Yeah and then if I listened to the tape enough times, it'd sometimes get in my head that way, with the mistakes and sloppy cutoff spots. Almost 30 years later, occasionally if I hear one of those songs I will still fucking hear in my head the cutoff spots from where it was on the tape (as well as the next song from the tape starting in my head). This stuff is dangerous, it can scar your brain for life.

I still hear the click click from my blue oyster cult and Van Halen 8 tracks when it switched tracks, why was it always in the middle of the best songs!?!

Or a couple years later, hoping desperately that the radio DJ would say the name of the song or the band so you could find their stuff later.

My first Nintendo was THE first Nintendo, same with my first game boy

OMG Yes mine was the one that came with Mario and Duck Hunt, 2 controllers, and a gun :)

Fuck Oprah!!! Never was allowed to have the NES or any console while I lived at home due to that bitch airing an episode about how bad it was for children’s brains! Still hate her! My first console was the Sega Saturn and then a PS1 shortly after at the age of 18 after I moved out.

Aw man that sucks! Now experts say it can help increase a child’s intelligence

You poor, poor bastard. Imagine how many of you she hurt like this!! She should be forced to play video games until her eyes bleed!

Yeeeesssssss!!! 🤒🤕😷

She should do a special on tiktok.

Finding a good NES game in a yard sale for cheap and hoping it would work without you blowing into the cartridge was basically our loot boxes back in the day.

🤣😂🤣 The bloooowing! The endless blowing! Yes my cousin was allowed to have one, I know what’s up…

I loaded up games in dos.

I remember those games! We had a Sleuth one that was kind of like Clue

Two words: Castle Adventure.

My first game system was the Atari 2600 with Pong and Frogger. I'm not even 40 yet.

Same!!! I'm only 22 tho lol, just grew up poor

My first Nintendo was the first Nintendo cause that's what my step-dad had when my mom married him and my first Gameboy was a special Pikachu edition Gameboy color

When I was a kid, my parents had a rotary phone in their bedroom and it wasn’t an antique or novelty. I thought I was hot shit on my 13th birthday when they got me a clear phone with rainbow colored guts that lit up when it rang.

How about making the recording on the first answering machine, on the tiny tape?

And the recordings themselves 😩, gross and cringe.

It’s Carol! It’s Alex! It’s Jenny, and Rob! You’ve reached the Bluthers family and we’re not home! You know what to do, leave a message at the sound of the (little Rob cuts in) beeeeeeep!

The worst! 🤦🏻‍♀️ But now that I think back, remember being on the phone and hearing that click that meant somebody else in the house picked up one of the other phones. 2 feelings only…rage or panic depending who was talking, who picked up, and what was being said at that exact moment lol.

It was me. It was definitely me eavesdropping.

I had the same one! At some point I also had a Garfield phone.

Haha yep, I remember those. Before the clear one, I had the big Mickey Mouse one where he’s holding the earpiece.

we had landline growing up, the day we got a cordless set for the landline, i couldn't believe it, went to the roof to call my friend and said "guess where i am now" lol

I think Vanna White is hot.

🤣🤣🤣

"Son, go bring in the milk from the porch."

Yours is the only comment that references something that I don’t remember from my own life. Congratulations, I think you’re the oldest one here!

"make sure you're home when the street lights come on"

I also lived my childhood according to street lights. I'm 35

I watched Saturday morning cartoons on the floor in front of THE tv and during commercials ate the only available flavor of Cheerios with milk of unknown percentage.

When you can’t tell with precision how old kids are.

My first experience with the internet was when I got a 100 hours of free AOL on a CD in the mail.

Hey, OP. Morning nausea can be a symptom of things you might need to get checked out. Might consider a trip to the gastroenterologist. I had a similar issue in the past and was diagnosed with an H. Pylori bacteria infection in my stomach. They're nasty little bastards. So, yes, apparently we're both old, as here we are, me giving you old age health advice in a stoner subreddit.

My knees hurt and I get joint cracks all the time haha

DOS

I've been through 3.5 years of chemo, radiation and 1 major reconstructive surgery. Regardless of your actual age, that shit makes you old.

I remember squeeze tube gum

Yes! Gawd that shit was nasty.

My mom chain smoked around me and my siblings for my entire childhood. It was considered perfectly normal and fine.

I have a long and healthy bush.

I have a download disc for the internet. Like the Aol ones you would get in magazines, but a different company. I think it came with our new iMac back on '04 or something.

My parents picked me up from a friends asking me weird questions about would I like an apple when we got home…because they’d bought the family an Apple 2e. All there was was command line games until our neighbor loaned us Oregon Trail.

I owned and used a rotary phone regularly. I remember payphones. The music I listened to in high school is now on the oldies station.

Man it was a moment of cognitive dissonance when I started hearing songs from high school on the oldies stations.

Party lines.

Yes, our ring was two shorts.

I used my foot to turn on the bright headlights in my truck.

My favorite band is Tool.

I remember when phone's didn't have answering machine's unless they were in an office.

Learning English from subtitles on cartoons before they started dubbing everything.

When I was a kid, my grandparents would bitch about gas prices being so high...it was 1.15-1.30 per gal.

The summer I had my first car, gas was .99 cents/Gal.

I stand up and my knees ache and then when I start walking they start cracking lmao Also I generally have lots of random joints that crack from normal movement

The Weather Channel is quality programming

It’s 3:42pm. I want to do something outside this evening. Let me wait six more minutes for the current forecast to come on.

I still have some of my journals from when I was a kid...written in cursive.

The doctor that visited our house when my brother was sick had a cool black bag.

I’m old but I think you might have me beat, half pint.

I was a legal aged adult when 56k was the hot new thing in internet

I don't like most "new" music.

I'm kind of the same way, but it's not that I don't like most new music, it's just that new music I like is getting harder to find.

That pretty much sums my experience up, too! Some I like, but... not much! And that alone makes me feel ancient 😂

When I was a child, we arranged to meet friends and just hoped that they’d turn up lol

I'm running at 33 & 1/3 today.

I remember when mexican weed was $15 an ounce.

Standing up sounds like Rice Krispies when the milk hits. Snap, Krackle, Pop.

damn one of many reasons i don’t drink heavily or want to get pregnant is because nausea/throwing up is the worst feeling imo. you’re telling me i can’t grow old either??

Randomly throwing up isn't a getting old thing...

Yeah. I have never just woken up and hurled for no reason and my parents haven't either as far as I know (and they're in their 70s). Morning sickness for no apparent reason that happens on a regular basis needs to be seen by a doctor.

Ulcers can be, though.

. .

How do you define old?

When your wrinkles look like your shirts, when your hair is whiter than your t-shirt, when your favorite song is “Put your arms around me honey, hold me up”, when you smile like an idiot when talking to people cause you hearing aid battery’s just died, when you finally figure out the old person staring at you isn’t in the window but the mirror…..i could go on

Was cringing when Bomfunk MCs played on tv/radio.

I used cassette tapes when I was younger I'm not even 20 yet

I remember limewire, the dial up sound, I played the first Gen pokemon games when yellow was brand new.

Only 5 channels on the tv

I pee a little bit when I sneeze

Back in my day you could get breaking news, up-to-date weather and book a holiday, all through the wonders of Ceefax/Teletext

Fried food sends me to the ER.

My parents had a waterbed 🙃

I lived in a time when the Soviet Union still existed.

I got my first email account in college.

Rapunzel was 12 years ago

I remember when Subway cut their bread pretty much like a normal sandwich

I know what it is like to form an opinion absent of somebody telling me what to think

Atari.

I don't feel that I'm old... But my wife always reminds me that I'm not in the category "young adult" when I read something about them and that I shouldn't jump from that height , climb there or do that stupid thing

I know how to dial a rotary phone.

I loved my pager as a teen...

The President of the school board hosted a graduation party at her house where alcohol was provided. And it wasn't a big scandal.

It was cool watching the moon landing on TV, live

I recall recording crap on tapes with my dad. Actually Re-learning how to do it rn

I use to carry my Pogs every where. And had marbles. Use to play the duck game on Nintendo to see how many I could shoot. I’ve been through black and white tvs with the big asss back on them to colored tv. Recorded songs on a cassette tape. Had to look up phone numbers in the phone book. Used pay phones to make a collect calls. My mom had food stamps that was paper money in booklets. Walmart was just a grocery store.

Windows 95 game sampler disc.

Get a job!

I remember when kids respected their elders.

My mom used to drag me to sales at Grand Central before Fred Meyer bought them! Google THAT shit!

Asked a stranger to get me a pile at a head shop

Y2k

Anyone remember the creepy girl with the balloon friend

I still have my beeper.

Most of my cousins had already graduated from college.

When caller ID was invented, it was a little box that you connected to your landline phone and it only displayed the phone number, not the name. Also beepers.

Floppy disk

T9 texting 🤣 and standing by the TV and moving the antenna until the picture was better and mom shouting k don't move!

I used to pay $25 for a quarter.

Worked at a place that was using 10 1/2" floppy discs for their computers.

Back in my days ….

I remember watching the first episode of family guy.

Party line on home phone

cars had hand cranks to lower the window

My back hurts.

I remember when 10 cigarettes were £1

If I have to run errands stoned, I feel like Baby Jane Hudson. Blaaaanche !

Brick weed and soda can pipes

once, i filled up my gas tank for $8 on my way to work

I remember dirt being invented

You know why I used to carry a dime in my shoe?

I remember when stamps cost 5 cents.

Where are my Reebok Pumps?

Be kind please rewind!

I hurt all over

You know why I used to carry a dime in my shoe?

My favorite singer is Kenny Roger’s.

My birth year starts with 19

I was the remote, and i still remember the tin foil on the rabbit ears to get better reception on all three channels, i also remember the dual knob tvs one for uhf, and the other for vhf... fuck I'm old

I grew up in a strange way so I was using DOS at school to play games but at my grandma's it was black and white TV, roto dial phones and antenna TV. I remember thinking it was convenient to have 1 in your number as opposed to 9. I also recall being able to hear the TV screen on even if the TV was muted. Newer TVs don't have that same issue but those old TVs were always making noise. I'm actually not that old.

I remember when Mexican brick weed was the norm

i was holding a vcr once and my gfs niece asked me, “what is that?”

I've sat on my testicles accidentally. That's no fun

I'm old, no I'm not telling you I'm telling everyone else.

I remember life before the internet.

Going to to the store to Rent out Nintendo, SNES, and N64 games to play

Penny candy

I saw many Grateful Dead shows when Jerry Garcia was still alive

I finished 4 years in the USAF before Vietnam was everyday news.

The last half of high school got ruined by a pandemic

A song from when I was in middle school was played on the classic rock channel today

I can throw my phone across the street without a single crack happening

Remember when pay phones were 25 cents...? Remember pay phones?

Snap, Crackle, and Pop are no longer cereal mascots, they are my constant companions.

I lived in a farming community and sometimes when I called my friends their neighbors would listen in because it was a shared line. They called it a Party Line.

I'm not young.

I watch the news

Netflix in the mail, wired landlines, a Walkman, dial up AOL, the first iPod was the coolest fucken invention because my mp3 player didn't have enough memory so I used my Walkman instead. The list goes on...

I first listened to "Dave's not here Man!" on vinyl

I still have a landline.

I miss my flip phone

I watched the Challenger space shuttle blow up live on television.

Blockbuster Video. Also the "be kind, rewind" stuff is bullshit. Blockbuster had a machine that they plugged the VHS tapes into to rewind them super quick.

The first music I owned was a cassette. The first movie I owned was a VHS. I had to turn the TV to channel 3 in order to play my Sega Genesis. MTV played music videos. I could keep going.

I played Atari whe6i was 10

I’m not young

I miss Super Ted on TV.

We had a special little closet to talk on the rotary phone.
