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…

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

Every now and then, I stumble across a photo that makes me pause and think , "Wow, I had no idea!" There’s something special about finding those snapshots from history that capture moments you'd never expect. It’s like peeking into a time capsule, revealing little glimpses of the world that feel almost surreal—moments that are too curious, too rare, or too cool to fit neatly into any history book . In this listicle, we’ve gathered 25 of the most interesting and unexpected photos from across mod…

This is a story from my childhood that is so classic 1980s it could have easily been a scene from a Rob Reiner movie. One day my friends and I were riding our bikes around our neighborhood (as one does during that decade). Since we lived in a fairly rural area, we came across two fields and decided to investigate a little closer. These were both pepper fields, one had all red peppers and one had all green. We really wanted to eat some but we didn't know what kind of peppers they were. I confide…

There's just something so satisfying about seeing man-made structures being slowly reclaimed by nature. I don't know why, but it feels right—almost like we subconsciously know that everything we build comes at a cost to the planet, and there's a deep-seated satisfaction in watching Mother Nature take back what’s hers. Trees sprouting through cracks in concrete, vines creeping up abandoned buildings, and moss covering once-pristine statues all remind us that, in the end, nature always finds a wa…

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…

A few days ago, I uploaded a meme that jokingly suggested abandoned malls should be repurposed as Gen X senior homes , and to be honest, I can't stop thinking about it. Sure, it's a ridiculous notion—old malls don't have the facilities needed to function as retirement homes, but come on! Most of my fondest memories from the 80s and 90s are from those malls. Spending time with friends at the food court, feeding coin after coin into the arcade machines—the mall had everything we wanted, and we sp…

I can vividly remember sitting cross-legged on the living room floor, flipping through the Sears " Wish Book " with a pencil in hand. I’d carefully circle the toys I dreamed of unwrapping on Christmas morning, hoping my parents or Santa would notice. The pages were filled with action figures, board games, and gadgets I’d only seen in commercials—each more exciting than the last. I'd stare at the glossy pictures for hours, imagining what it would be like to actually own them. It wasn't just abou…

How did everything change so much , so fast? I still remember making a playlist of my favorite songs and using NERO to burn them onto a CD so I could listen to my music while driving. It couldn't have been that long ago because I already had my driver's license. Sure, when I went to school, I used to put my favorite songs on a cassette and listen to them on my Walkman, but that was a long time ago. Are you telling me it's already been 20 years since the days of the CD player?! Didn't we just mo…

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

I miss arcades! And I'm talking about those real 80s arcades , where you would just have video game cabinets, waiting for you to drop a quarter in and start playing. And as long as you were good, as long as you were winning - you could just keep playing on the same quarter. Me and my brother used to go every day after school to our local arcade and spend hours there, playing "After burner" "Double Dragon" Operation Wolf" and "Metal Slug". But our jam was "Golden Axe". We got so good at Golden A…

Click here for part 1 I love looking at old advertisements . They're like windows through time, allowing us to glimpse the everyday lives of people from the past. What did they like to eat? What did they find appealing? How much did things cost back then? It's fascinating to see how much has changed, yet how much has stayed the same. I think what strikes me the most while looking through these old ads is the simplicity of their messaging —no flashy gimmicks or complex marketing tactics, just st…

Let's take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to the early 90s. We might have grown up in a time when TVs were square and heavy, and the internet made a loud noise when you logged on. But we loved every minute of it. Life had a very specific taste back then, like powdered drinks and store-bought jello. We were a generation that still went outside to play, drank from the garden hose when we were thirsty, and called our moms on the payphone to ask if we could stay the night at our friend's house.…
