Call me crazy but it feels like the early 2000s just happened Like, not too long ago. I feel like there is absolutely no way we are already 24 years into the new millennium. I distinctly remember plugging the cord out of my landline and connecting it to the back of my computer every time I wanted to log on to the internet. I remember having a giant CD case in my car, filled with dozens of CD that I burned myself. And our cellphones used to have buttons! remember that? they all had lots and lots…

This needs to become a trend— normalize the cringe , embrace it! We all have photos from the past that are absolutely embarrassing. Maybe it’s a photo our mom forced us to take when we were small children, maybe it’s a yearbook photo exposing how clueless and cringey we were in our formative years, or maybe it’s that one time we tried to cut our own hair, and the results were captured for all eternity on film by one of our older siblings. These are the kinds of photos we usually tuck away in so…

32 Wicked 90s Throwbacks That Are So Fresh, You'll Be Like ‘Talk to the Hand!’

I don't know how things were at your house, but when I was a child , my parents had an entire pantry dedicated just for snacks. As kids, we were allowed to take as many snacks as we wanted, whenever we wanted to. I remember going over to my friends' houses and realizing this was not the norm . Everyone else's parents kept snacks in a secret, sometimes locked, drawer. My friends had to ask for permission to have a snack, and they’d only get one if they had done all their chores—it was a whole pr…

Step back into the 90s with our collection of 30 nostalgic Magic Eye images that captivated us as kids. These optical illusions, known as stereograms, were a magical part of our childhoods. We’d spend what felt like hours staring at these colorful, abstract patterns, waiting for the hidden 3D images to emerge, feeling triumphant when we finally "saw" it. Even though the Magic Eye craze has mostly faded, the wonder of these illusions still holds a special place in our memories. Whether you're so…

We did a lot of things "for the last time" without even realizing it. We had our last visit to Blockbuster , picked our last movie, and it wasn't some big occasion—we just stopped going after that. We had our last LAN party with friends without knowing it at the time (that one really hurts). We also ate and drank things for the last time without realizing they'd disappear from store shelves, and we rode our bikes to our friends' houses for the last time without giving it a second thought . We l…

My mom was a really good cook. She would make us mouth-watering meals on a daily basis, and I was always excited when she called us to come and eat. But since I was growing up during the 80s, every now and then she would see a strange new recipe in the paper or in some weird cookbook and decide to make us things like "Chicken wings in cola" or "Tuna and olive pasta." We would collectively smile and eat quietly, trying not to hurt her feelings, but she could tell. For some reason, the 70s and 80…

We all love feeling nostalgic , thinking about the good old days when everything seemed better, cheaper, and more innocent. We think back to our childhood and wonder what happened to the world—why can't things just go back to the way they were? Well, I hate to be that guy, but things were never actually better, and nostalgia was once considered a mental illness. The term " nostalgia " was first coined in the 17th century by a Swiss doctor named Johannes Hofer, who noticed that Swiss soldiers st…

** the late 1990's

We know that sometimes you feel really old while talking about your childhood during the 1990s ; you feel like the younger generations are looking at you in the same way that you looked at older people talking about the 1940s when you were a child. But there's one huge difference - your childhood was awesome! You see, back in the early 20th century life kinda sucked; everyone was poor, there was no entertainment and you had to boil your food before you ate it. However, the late 20th century was…

As a parent today I am doing all I can to provide my kids with the most comfortable, safest and accident free childhood I can. For some reason I have decided that that is the best childhood I can give them. But when I look back at my own childhood, it was as far removed from that as possible - It wasn't safe, it wasn't comfortable and it absolutely wasn't accident-free. Yet it still was a very happy and fulfilling childhood, and I wouldn't change anything about it. I used to get hurt A LOT; I b…
