Having to start dialing all over because I over shit the last number on the phone. And feeling like your finger was getting serious exercise when you had to call ling distance. (My grandparents had a rotary phone)
Like when you needed to go to a store and look at all the computer games and their boxes and pic the one you thought was coolest and pray that the game was a banger.
Rewinding the tape after the movie is over.
Also, using the video head cleaning tape.
Being excited about owning a zip diskette.
Having to climb up the roof to adjust the tv antenna to get better reception.
Lugging around AA batteries just to listen to one album on your walkman.
lol well here watch this and you will understand why I asked.

My husband is a huge fan of this movie so I was forced to see it about a billion times lol
Pog lol OMG yes
My husband Vapes and a company he buys from always sends thier product out in these tubes to protect the vape juice and the first thing I said when I saw them was "Did you order Pogs from eBay?" lol because the tubes look exactly like the tubes you could buy to hold your pog collection.
Did your mom put your initials on the back of each one like mine did lol almost every kid I knew thier Pogs had their initials on them lol
I was genuinely curious if anyone would know what I was talking about, haha!
Did your husband know?
And yes she did! Which was funny because the whole point of It was to try and win each others' pogs, but then everyone just kept their own anyway. She also got me one of those really heavyweight slammers. I never used it with other kids though... it made them very unhappy if I did
Yeah he knew right away what I was saying lol he had them to as a kid.
And yeah my grandmother gave me one she got from Hawaii and it was this heavy slammer made from God knows what kind of metal lol first time I used it it went straight through a 100 stack lol so it was deemed unfair and banned from any games with my friends lol. We all agreed from then on no metal slammers only plastic ones.
@mrscollector haha lucky. Normally when I bring up pogs people look at me like I started speaking mandarin or something.
I think the game itself actually originated in Hawaii, back when it was just played with milk caps.
Iirc, my mom got me mine from a kiosk at a mall. Which just blows my mind now, thinking about it. They had kiosks for pogs in the mall. That's how big a deal they were, for that brief window in time.
They still have them, they just cost ~$250 for approximately 15 kids. Just like Chic Fil A. But that's the price of most other kids birthday places so it's less worth it.
Are you from the USA because as far back as I can remember (NOT THAT I DID THIS lmao) the can not keep any pictures from some are not even allowed to look at them. But I also heard of picture developers reporting people for things like child porn and abuse.
Haha I was too young to even know taking nudes of yourself was a thing, but I remember hearing about several of the main places the average person would go to get pics developed (think: walmart) began warning people that they would refuse to develop any "adult" photos brought in, so people would just get back partially developed rolls if they tried to get them printed.
I'm pretty sure a lot of places still have this rule, actually, but everyone has digital photo development now so it doesn't impact much of anything
Yeah Walmart was like that but before Walmart started developing photos there was things called photo huts. They were usually personally owned and just ignored the pictures but the fear was really that they would make a copy.
I knew one guy who worked from a Kodak photo huts he said there was this rather large and yet attractive woman that would hand in her photos to be developed and every single picture was of her with barely a stich on and mountains of food. She sold them to people online before video chat was a thing. And one time she "Tipped" him with a picture. lol he said she had no idea his boss already had a copy of each picture she ever developed there. lol
Ahh, there were never any of those near where I lived. Or I just didn't notice them. Walmart/etc were always good enough to develop my 24-photo disposable cameras (which are still a thing, but barely). Either way, if your story wasn't enough of a reason to keep most people from sending nudes, then idek anymore. I'd be so paranoid/creeped out by the thought of it.
Either way, I'd say they've definitely hit their peak since digital cameras/smart phones/social media became a thing
I actually saw one being held just the other day. It was at a lone McDonald's out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a sprawl of an abandoned shopping complex. It was weird but nice to see this little McDonald's clinging to life to give this one kid a nice birthday with his friends.

Hanging my clothes to dry on a clothesline with clothespins
Using a cassette adapter to play CD's from my portable CD player on my car radio!
Riding in the back of the pickup down the highway
Under 25’s had nice cars, properly made clothes and we went to raves all over our country, sometimes driving more than 6 hours for a big rave. They often had 150 kw sound systems and end of thousands of people. Even weeknights we would park up next to each other and blast our car stereos and socialise
