I was sooooo in love with him!

THANK YOU!

Oh yes, I'd watch that. Even Joe Pesci could return. He can be funny and intimidating.

It's official. The song will stay in my head for a while (two posts about Mambo No. 5)

$10 Chinese food still exists, though $15 is more common. Petrol price jumped from $40 to $100 a full tank in the year 2022.

Truth

Proof Morgan Freeman doesn't age

We had something called a ''phone tree'', the one whom had to leave home earliest was on top, and so on.. and they had to call the next one on the list to tell school was cancelled.

I’m even older as I think about the old film projector being wheeled into the class room.

Baby!!!!! You're there, with your boyfriend, the Mystery Machine.

Back when a batman movie was sill in colour, not just shades of black.

What's a book?

I love that this book is "The Time Machine" by HG Wells.

And the 80s, 70s, etc.

And before the 90s.

In Monkey Island 2 you have to check out books like this - my kid tried to play it but just couldnt make head or (moneky) tails of it🤗

....and the 1950s....

I've seen some libraries still using this system.

I wish we still did. But I did get a book from a smaller library that is part of our library system and it shockingly does have a book check out log in the back.

Hey, libraries still exist!

That's really funny because that's *exactly* how we do that today as well! We just have online systems to keep better track of things.

And 70s and 80s...

and the 80s and 70s and on and on.

Kind of ironic, the first place I ever saw a barcode was on a library book. That was long before they were on products in shops. (This in the UK.)

And the '60s and before I'm sure.

Nineties? This was the way in the sixties, and maybe before. Geez. I wish you guys would quit making me feel like a skeleton in an ancient grave.

Now it's scan a barcode.

how we used to steal books in the 70s and 80s and got flumoxxed in the 90s

70s too

I still have a hard time checking out books at the library with automated machines 🫣🤷🏼‍♀️

It's like looking into a Time Machine :P

Just was explaining to one of my individuals I work with about how I had to use the card catalog to look for what books I wanted at the library and couldn't just type it into the computer and find out

Sadly, most public libraries abandoned this system when the FBI and Homeland Security started showing up with subpoenas authorized under the Patriot Act for patrons' reading habits. No records means that your business stays your business and not the government's.

How do they do it now?

I miss that system

Checked out ANY book we wanted!

Can confirm XD I’m 41 and my bedroom at my childhood home still has them on the ceiling.

I had MTV Europe when I missed half a term of school due to a glandular fever type virus. It was never properly diagnosed as the doctors and specialist didn't know what it was.

Oooooh these made the tub so dangerously slippery! But smelled sooooo good!!

Crypt Keeper, my old friend!

That hits hard. ::goes back to playing Baldur’s Gate III with NPCs she wishes were her friends::

Rocky Horror, how can it be anything else?

Thomas THE TANK ENGINE! You fool!

Those aren't 90's icons. Except Robin Williams, he's an icon over decades.

🤯 I loooooved Captain Planet
