Hey Pandas, If You Could Bring Back One Thing From The 80’s What Would It Be & Why? (Closed)

Leg warmers. It’s a very unique accessory, you can have fun color matching it, it would make a great LGBTQ rainbow colors statement, and they help keep you warm in these brutal winters.

I miss standing in a kitchen chair to be able to answer the phone. It was mounted to the wall. Then at Christmas I got a phone for my own room with speed dial buttons. Life was so simple then.

Arcades. I loved playing pinball. You were able to play pinball machines all over the city but nowadays they are all gone.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
