Remember phones with a lock on the rotary part, and dialing by pushing down the plungers/cradle switches? Ten times for zero, nine times for 9, etc. My landlady never knew of this trick :)
Monosyllabicgirl 10 months ago
Yes! I actually didn't know about the 10x for a zero until right now! I grew up in the 90s and a few friends had these phones with the outgoing calls called by parents (or honestly usually foster parents). We would call anyone who didn't have a zero in their number bc of lack of that knowledge. You just brought back like the best memory, we thought we were so sneaky ❤️

As I recall from my youth, it was much more spectacular for the one doing the hang up slam, than it was for the one being hung up on. And yet you could still discern that you had not only been hung up on, but that there was slamming involved. Those old phones were tough, being made mostly of metal and durable plastic. And the electronics and wiring inside were not delicate. Once, my divorced mom got mad during a long-distance argument with my dad, and she not only hung up on him with a slam, she threw the phone across the room for good measure. For a day or so afterward, we seemed to not be getting any phone calls, which made my mom wonder if she'd broken the phone. But, no, she had inadvertently turned off the ringer when she threw the phone, and it was easily turned back on, as good as new.

My spouse and I visited Lake Placid, NY (site of the 1980 Winter Olympics, for those who didn't know) last winter. We stayed at a hotel in a nearby town and found it adorned with Jamaican flags. It turned out that there was a major bobsled event in Placid...and the Jamaican bobsled team was staying in OUR HOTEL! I was STUPID excited!

The I Totally Remember That Instagram account has been around since 2017 and has amassed an impressive 34K followers. It shares plenty of memes, photos of old-school items and videos that might instantly transport you back in time. To learn more about this popular page, we got in touch with the account's creator, Emanuel, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda.
"I started I Totally Remember That as a way to celebrate the things that defined our childhoods. I would often come across posts and I would say, 'I totally remember that!' And the name of the page just came to me that way," Emanuel explained.
"It is those small, everyday moments that instantly take you back in time. As a Gen Xer, I love reminiscing about the toys, TV shows, and trends that shaped my generation, and I realized so many people feel the same way," he continued. "Seeing the page grow has been amazing. It’s like one big reunion where everyone shares their own memories and experiences."

We were also curious about how Emanual decides what to post on I Totally Remember that. "It’s a mix of everything. Some posts come from my own nostalgia trips, others are inspired by things I stumble upon online, and I also get great submissions from followers," he shared.
"The goal is always to post things that feel real, or make you say, 'I totally remember that,'" the creator noted. "They are memories that make you laugh, say 'Oh wow, I forgot about that!' or just feel a bit of that childhood magic again."

Monosyllabicgirl 10 months ago
Yes!! My parent's microwave was bought used in 1987 from my dad's work, he paid them 5$ a week for ten weeks. All that was wrong with it was a little piece behind the door opening button mechanism, he never told them that. It finally gave up the ghost last year. My last microwave made it only 5 years. My grandparent's drip coffee pot is from the 70s and in perfect shape, i just brewed some on Christmas. I'm on my second Hamilton Beach in 6 years!

"The best posts are the ones where people flood the comments with their own stories. I really like when they do that, it makes it very interactive and reminiscent. It turns into a collective memory lane."

I didn't work at Domino's but about 8 yrs ago worked at a small family owned pizza place where we still took orders like that and our older drivers knew where every address was or grabbed a map. New drivers would use GPS on phone and call store crying bc there is a lot of new construction on outskirts of Green Bay and GPS doesn't keep up with the new weird round neighborhoods. You had to call one of the 50 yr old dudes who would tell you to turn where the Dinosaur statue used to be, drive 4 miles and take three rights. Im still in contact with one of these guys, he's retired and got me an apartment next door. He is 74 now and has the best life stories

Emanuel also says he's partial to a few special decades. "The late ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s are my sweet spot," he shared. "That was a time in my childhood, and I find I can relate more, especially in the comments. And before everything went digital, when we had to wait for things, make mixtapes, or record songs off the radio. There’s something special about that era, and I think that’s why nostalgia for it is so strong. As a Gen X, I feel we are in both worlds."

Most of us have a habit of romanticizing the past. “If only I was born in the ‘70s, I would have had the BEST style!” Or, “The ‘80s was the best decade for music; it’s just not the same today!” While this is perfectly normal, The New York Times notes that we should remember that “the good old days” weren’t necessarily much better than today.
Felipe de Brigard, a professor of philosophy, psychology and neuroscience at Duke University, told The New York Times that romanticizing the past is actually a coping mechanism. “You have to carry your past with you. If a memory hurt every time that you recalled it as much as when you experienced it, that would be unbearable," he explained. This is also why we often look back on our past relationships only remembering the good parts of our exes, and we might even forget why the breakup happened in the first place.

My uncle used to play the theme song on the piano. He had a cockatiel that learned it, he would whistle it until about half way through, then he'd make sounds like he was having an apoplectic fit, and then finish the song. He did this for years and they had no clue why. I was listening to my uncle play and I finally put together what Beaker was doing. When my uncle would mess up a note he would slam all his finger of both hands on the piano keys and curse a bunch, then he would finish the song from where he stopped. Beaker was copying him playing it wrong.

My dad said he was on a camping trip in the 60s with his dad. He asked his dad why they don’t put water in bottles like they do soda because he was thirsty. My grandfather told him that that was a stupid idea and that there’s water everywhere and that no sane person would buy something that’s free from a tap or a river.

Yes and today they are still trying to figure out what to do to get away from not really recyclable plastic bottles when this was a thing for a long time, glass 100% recyclable and much easier to recycle.

We used to collect the glass bottle, deposit them at a 7-11 for coins, and use the money to buy penny candy. No wonder I have no back teeth left.

Every time we went to the grocery store with my Mom we took back the bottles from the previous week's trip - nothing but green glass Coke bottles.

Nah, pretty sure this is the 70s, not just clothes and hairstyles but by the early 80s soft drink bottles were plastic with that black stability cap on the bottom - most of us used to grow seedlings in them

That Tia Carrere in Wayne's World, and while she does have a singing career, it is most definitely not in any kind of rock music.

Met her at a ComicCon several years ago. Still as beautiful as ever. Had the hugest crush on her when I was younger, then seeing her in person was like heaven

I love the scene with Garth in the diner with the doughnut, running it over and making the jam come out to represent his heart. Poor guy!

I worked at a VCR repair shop. Toy soldiers marbles, anything a child could fit through the flap. If a rented video got stuck we had to write a note for the local video rental shop to avoid late fees. The best was when an adult film got stuck, they'd have always "rented it by accident". One woman came in with a home adult tape stuck, video not with husband.

Bill Clinton was president. The US was apparently involved in one war. The Internet was taking the world as a whole by storm. Oh and Green Day and Metallica either did or did not suck then and do or do not suck now depending on your personal music preferences. Is that more accurate?

Bill Clinton was President. We had ZERO wars. The USA was taking the world by storm with the Internet. Oh and Greenday and Metallica don't suck yet.

The USA didn't own the internet. And it was a niche thing until a British guy invented the WWW.

What was neat about these combos was, if you hooked them up to another TV which itself was hooked up to a VCR, you could bring home movies from Blockbuster and copy them. Run on the combo, play and record on the TV with the VCR.

This is like those "if you get 15 right you're a genius" quizzes where all the questions are like "how many letters in the word DOG"? Seriously, even if you weren't alive during the T9 days literally anyone can figure this out from context in 3 seconds.

10$ used to get me two packs of smokes and enough gas to drive around all night with my homies smoking them and listening to CDs

Not sure were you are from but in my teens we could go by the reservation and get smokes for $1, USA and gas was $.75 a gallon.

Please BP, stop these post, They make me feel old for I recognize way too much of them. On the other side... DAMN those are GOOD memories. I count myself lucky to still have a full functioning cassette player (and my 70's and 80's tapes) as well as my LP record player and records. Not to brag, but DAMN I admire and appreciate my taste of music from that era.
