There’s something magical about revisiting the things you loved as a kid—whether it’s a beloved TV show, a favorite movie, or that one viral video you totally forgot about (Mah spoon is too big!). Artist Kristina Edgar, known as @catlaserstudio, captures that magic in the most charming way possible: through her delightfully miniature paper creations. Kristina transforms everyday childhood nostalgia into tiny, intricate works of art . Her paper tributes include everything from vintage cartoons t…

Back in the day , Coca-Cola bottle caps held the promise of dreams. They hid tiny letters under those caps, and if you managed to spell out the right word, you could win incredible prizes—or at least, what seemed incredible to a kid. One summer, they unveiled the ultimate prize: a fridge shaped like a giant Coca-Cola can. It was glorious! The idea of having a mini-fridge all to myself, and shaped like a Coke can no less, was too much for my little brain to handle. I drank an absurd amount of Co…

Let's take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to our childhood. 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.…

My wife and I are unapologetic toy collectors. We've held onto our old childhood treasures , lugging them from one apartment to another like precious cargo, and we've amassed a whole new collection along the way. Passing a toy store without buying something? Impossible. Toys spark so much joy for us, and our home reflects that—our kids are practically swimming in action figures , board games, and every kind of toy you can imagine. Ironically, they don’t seem to appreciate the bounty at their fi…

I miss the 70s. Well, I wasn’t exactly there for it, but looking back, it feels like an era where everyone was just doing their own thing—no filters, no second thoughts, and certainly no one asking, “Hey, is this a good idea?” And nowhere is that more evident than in the album covers. These weren’t just covers; they were statements . Sometimes those statements were, "Look at my hair” and sometimes they were, “We got $20 and access to a farm. Let’s wing it.” But that’s the beauty of it! These co…

I’ll admit it— I miss the golden age of animated TV. Back in the day, cartoons weren’t sanitized or overly polished; they were raw, edgy, and often wildly unpredictable. Shows like King of the Hill didn’t pander or hold your hand—they trusted you to get the joke, no matter how subtle or weird it was. There was an honesty in the humor, even when it was biting or downright ridiculous, and it left a lasting impression on anyone who tuned in. That’s why this "King of the Hill" Major Arcana Tarot De…

Can anyone explain to me how Doom managed to get everything so right straight out of the gate? How did it nail all the necessary ingredients to create the perfect first-person shooter at a time when there was virtually nothing to compare it to? Yes, I know it technically wasn’t the first FPS, but let’s be honest—aside from Wolfenstein 3D , it might as well have been. Sure, there were earlier games like Maze War or Battlezone , but they weren’t even in the same league as what Doom brought to the…

If you grew up in the 90s, you know it was a time like no other—a world of Discmans, Blockbuster Fridays, and the simplicity of offline life. Recently, a Redditor asked fellow 90s kids what they miss most from back then, and the answers are bound to hit you right in the nostalgia. From late-night chats on AOL Instant Messenger to hands-on Tamagotchi care and the excitement of finding the perfect rental at the video store, these throwbacks will take you straight back to your childhood. We combed…

The perfect blend of Western and Eastern cartoons.

Back in the 1950s, with the arrival of the new technological miracle called “the TV,” life for the average family changed drastically. The TV was a much more communal experience than it is today, when everyone has their own personal screen. In those days , after a long day of work and school, the entire family would gather in the living room to watch TV together. And what could you do while watching TV? Eat a TV dinner, of course! TV dinners were marketed as the “future of food,” allowing peopl…

The Legos are not what they seem...

Today I saw an old public service announcement from the 80s , telling parents that from now on they would have to strap in their babies and small kids when going for a ride in their car. This implies that when my parents took me from the hospital back in the late 70s, they just threw little baby me in the back seat and hoped for the best. I also distinctly remember riding my bike around town with no helmet, no knee pads, no nothing. One day, my brother and I rode our bikes down a steep hill, an…
