The vast amount of insecticides poured onto crops is responsible

So miss them even tho I'm 35.

I hate early mornings.

We traded our monarch butterflies for billions of people that we don't need.

Thanks to the wrong people! Edit: I meant obviously your there supervising but not watching them like a hawk every second, like I have had to do with my son because I was terrified of anything happening. My comments get taken way out of text people.

Or pay phone booths.

I only have an unhealthy sense

But did it ever really exist in the first place? Or has the nature of privacy just changed? Small towns long before the internet everyone knew everyone's secrets.

we still have them (switzerland) *galloppingawayooodellllling*

Who you calling OLD?? Ya little stinker!! LololoL

Software manuals fall into this boat now too.

This is why we no longer see superman

Employers expect loyalty from employees but they show none to their employees. It doesn't work that way, folks.

or the missing 18 minutes?

Phone books !! I never had a personal phone book at one time I could remember like 20 different numbers .. Now I have a hard time remembering mine... the only number I still remember is the old time and temp number and it shut down in 2018 😞

As someone who works overnights I miss that so much. It was so nice to get off work and go shopping without my kids. Especially at Christmas/birthday time

There’s some rich people who are very nervous about that……… time to spill the beans.

Along with Netscape, CompuServe, the noise a dial up modern made and AOL with those monthly CDs in the mail (those a$#$$holes still owe me 20 free hours 😆)

Or the braided friendship bracelets

I miss the days of being able to watch a new movie before it even comes out in theaters. Terrible quality but still lol

I don't know anyone who Doesn't have them, save for my one friend's work provided phone.

Yeah, my phone has been on silent for like five years

I have Wipe Out on mine. I don't normally have my ringer on, but I was at the library waiting to hear how my out of state friend's surgery went when all of a sudden there's the maniacal laughter & someone saying "wipe out!" I apologized to the librarian, but she was too busy laughing.

Disagree.

I do have custom ring / notification sounds on my phone but it's a holdover from about 4 phones ago. (Just migrating my profile whenever i get a new one.) I haven't heard them in almost a decade though. Phone is always on vibrate or silent (and notifications just sync to my watch anyway.)

Nobody is gonna stop me from using the Doctor Who (10th Doctor) theme song as my ringtone Nobody!

My phone lives on vibrate but I have my mother's number marked as an emergency bypass so it will ring when she calls, even when my phone is on vibrate. She's living by herself now that my father passed and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if she needed me and couldn't get through. That's the only reason I know that my ring tone is the theme song from the Bubble Bobble video game lol. Also, custom vibrations are amazing. I have ones set for my brother, for each of my closest friends, and for my boss. Anyone that I need to identify without having to actually look at my phone.

…there are custom vibrations

That’s because they got annoying fast

I’ve also noticed this. Apple made it hard to pirate music onto your phone to do this with.

Yes being able to cut and snip whatever you wanted it and making it a ringtone/text tone

I didn't have much space on my flip phone, but I shuffled me ringtone between 3 or 4 REM songs over the space of 12 months

What has actually gone away are all those obnoxious commercials for ringtones. But I did change the boring standard ringtone to "Epona's Song" from the Legend of Zelda games :)

my phone pushes you to just use a song from spotify or 'your library', but i miss when i had a windows phone (yes we existed XD) and there was an app that had crowd-uploaded ringtones. i had the star tours chime for texts. Took ages for me to find that again. I also had a lot of other tones that I just can't find anymore. :( I miss when phones were more customisable. I miss when everything was more customisable.

I decided to give a sh*t with a 8bit legend of Zelda dungeon ring tone. But I had to have my gen z kid so it for me, lol

You can’t get decent ones anymore. It took me a while to find one.

I have faithfully copied my custom ringtones (usually from mp3 snippets) onto each new phone for the last 15 years. That being said, my phone has been on vibrate for the last 10 of those 15 years, so...

I worked in healthcare for years and was in the on call rotation, so if I wasn't already there my could ring at all hours of day or night. If you missed a call your a*s would get chewed six ways to Sunday. Plus, as an added bonus, you had to make sure you stayed local and not more then an hour outside of work in case you had to go in and couldn't handle things over the phone. That is one thing I REALLY don't miss about that job!

You make your own now, lol. Doesn't get anymore custom than that.

My ring tone is the Futurama intro, breaking bad intro and a clip from final fantasy.

I can go months without hearing my phone ring. Everyone just texts.

That Nokia on the left was my favourite one before I got touch screens

Of course i use custom ringtones

Not ringtones but notification sounds. I have tons of different sounds for different apps or people messaging.

I just want my phone to use what I want it to

We used to be able to actually compose custom ringtones on the old nokia.

I actually now get second hand embarrassment when I hear an actual song as someone’s ringtone
