Nobody loves you when you're twenty three

Geez, I was literally thinking this today...

And she could cook too!

As a kid in the 80s I always thought he was handsome

Yep, my first one was the Nokia 3210

Not sure why the world isn't a Richard scary book complete with the word above each object

I have a few of those as wall art, I love maps.

I still do

That was the best!

41KB/Sec? You are so spolied.

My guy, your trying to download a 23 PETAbyte file!!! Even on today's broadband, at 200 Mbps, that is going to take 29 years. I do get the point though... I can still hear that dial up screech :)

23 petabytes for the internet? for reference, today, meta needs 300 petabyte storage centers (https://engineering.fb.com/2014/04/10/core-infra/scaling-the-facebook-data-warehouse-to-300-pb/), and text is generally not super large.

It was a time when you could download all of the internet...

theinternet.zip sounds like a virus.

Yep.

Scotland. Village library, checked out books like this in the 90s. Fact.

Or 1976.

Your dentist knows..

Used to deliver local freight using this tech.

This is a timeless and universal thing. It isn't even restricted to any age group. As long as kids/people are required to take turns reading aloud, they will not listen to what KS being read so they can practice. When I was teaching, I never went around the room, but a!ways asked for volunteers. There was always one who just kept reading and wouldn't give anyone else a chance.

The one time I left it in, someone stole it.

And endlessly fiddling with the options/screensavers in After Dark! XD (I still miss you, Flying Toasters.)

Yep! My mom cut away my ex-husband's face and just left mine in the frame.

Still do

Had the walls, never got spanked. Not that I didn't deserve it.

The problem here is that this song came out in 1977. An awesome, amazing rock anthem that still resonates today, but hardly '90's kids' related. Hell, those kids weren't even born when this was released!

Tonya told her stupid husband to "get the fancy cardigan I need for Lillehammer" not "hit Nancy Kerrigan in the knee with a little hammer." It was all a misunderstanding, I swear!

Parts inside the tv would make cracking sounds randomly as they expanded or contracted with room temperature changes. This happened especially at night when they had been powered off for a while and was most noticeable when your parents had left you home by yourself.

Chapmans still does

The way Google Maps acts sometimes, i need to go back to paper directions

"Hello, kiddies! So glad you could join me!"

I ruined at least three of my parents computers thanks to that damn site!!!

Docs but otherwise yes. Now, 35 years later its crocs. My poor tired feet.

iPod, filled with music that you own, until YOU choose to remove it. iPhone....filled with apps that give you access to music you don't own, until THEY choose to remove it.

Cat is on Threads

I almost want to put these on my wheelchair spokes

I died a little inside when the "oldies" station in my area (KRTH), which used to play "hits of the 50s, 60s, and 70s" when I was growing up in the 80s, to "hits of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s". I think now they include the 90s in their repertoire. The fact that music from the decade I was born in is considered "oldies" is just.... depressing XD

In a (probably) 99 corolla. Base model didn't have a cd player. Put 230k on mine and sold it 3 years ago. It is still in action, I saw it a couple weeks ago lol.

That kid is not crying because he's afraid of losing a leg. He's crying because he's heard that joke 1,000 times already and is sick of his dad's c**p.

Adorable. Should do a 30 year later pic

I had a mad crush not on Hercules but on his friend Iolaus. For some reason I thought that actor was cuter XD And I REALLY loved Xena as a teenage girl. Didn't have many "strong/powerful" female action heroes in those days.

I.. have that tiger blanket. And a wolf one from the same era XD

I used to buy 15 for £1 for my cat. She'd diligently carry them to the top of the stairs and then watch them bounce on the stairs as she dropped them one by one. Especially at 2am.

I grew up with no volume bars. Had knobs to use for the volume. Also knobs to turn the TV on and off and to adjust the tv for vertical and horizontal screen/picture.

I went to a rural school and some older students from the city visited and were wearing these with socks - we weren't mean, but we were just confused

Wow. Time travel has been perfected and it's used for door dash!!

Do you want to play a game, fellow kids?

Then there are those of us who remember having to call long distance after 7pm because it was cheaper.

Time to go home for dinner.
