“I Love Nostalgia”: 35 Posts From The Past You Have To Be Old Enough To Get (New Pics)

And it didn't break when you slammed it down.

An app equivalent is needed for smart phones, something that when you end the call it sends a loud thud.

Besides the ring tone you get to choose, cell phones should also offer the hang-up tone of your choice.

Oh yes

Because these were made out of thick plastic that could survive nuclear holocaust. New smartphones shatter if you drop it on a table

I'm old enough that the VCR was the "modern" device that came out when I was a young adult.

Yep. Up there too.

Just a kid. I was the projector nerd for the old 16mm Bell and Howell projectors.

I am "I used an overhead for my MSc presentation" old.

The old TVs that, somehow, still existed in my middle school classrooms, doing nothing but collecting dust? Yep.

I have permanently bumpier than normal shins due to these sodding things

Yep

This still happens:(

No, but getting hit by a scooter....

I’m pretty sure that at 44 I still have a scar from that

That is still my alarm clock.

Parents??? I had one!

I still have one.

My mom recently asked me to buy her an alarm clock because she has had enough of using her phone for alarms. Idk where to even find a good alarm clock in this day and age because most of the digital clocks available nowadays that have alarm features are usually not loud enough to serve any useful purpose given that the alarm feature is never really used anymore.

Not mine, they had a wind-up Baby Ben alarm clock. I had one like this, though.

Anyone remember when there was a button on the floorboard to turn the headlights on bright? I remember vaguely a Cadillac that had that feature.

When you got left in the car for ages with your brothers, it was the only entertainment!

It is called a “fück around and find out”.

Cigarette lighter, was in every car

It gets red hot, then you drop your roach into it and inhale.

Anybody here ever slept under one of those olive drab-colored Army-Navy Surplus blankets? Talk about itchy, but they were warm if you made sure you at least had a sheet between you and it. There were five kids in our family, and my father was an Army vet, so we all had those blankets on our beds.

The satin edging was always cold.

I was born in the early 2000s so these items on the list were still in use when I was really little. These things jog really early memories. Very sweet

Layering several thinner blankets, instead of one big comforter, is still more comfortable for sleeping to me. Too hot - peel off a layer.

Heh. When I was a kid we had may father's surplus Army blankets.

In my parent's house it was called a church key, and the only way to open the can of sweetened condensed milk!

Making more hole in a belt ?

I've never called it a bottle or can opener. It's a chuchkey.

Back in the day, they were free at the checkout counter.

Church Key!
