What childhood thing makes you feel just so old now?

[akemikae]

This show used to by the shit

Also...The realization that most people's intro anime these days is probably Sword Art Online, My Hero Academia...etc as opposed to Sailor Moon and Dragonball. Oof.

[Myst]

A childhood thing... I remember constantly rewinding old VHS tapes of Dragonball, Sailor Moon, Power Rangers, and more just to watch them on repeat over and over on a tiny T.V.

Kids today won’t know the struggle of a VHS tape getting all tangled up.

TMNT 2003. I watched it all the time when I was a kid & I started thinking about it the other day & realized it'll be 20 in 2023. This makes me feel so old.

The fact that some people have any idea that IM used to be a legit thing. Seriously they didn't know people just sat at their computer and messaged people. They were like "Why didn't you just text?"

Cause 1) it wasn't a thing at one point 2) it was expensive 3) it took forever unless you mastered pressing that button four times to get that letter

And that at one point you couldn't be online and one the phone at the same time. There are people who don't know the struggle of getting yelled at cause your mom wants to use the phone

I am steadfastly still calling '#' the pound sign.

Waiting 7 minutes just for a picture to load on dial up...

[Myst]

That AOL start-up sound too.

Tapes. The one you need to paired up with pencil.

West life.

And Pokemon...

Home alone.

Playing outside with friends (woah, I actually have playmates...)

(note that I was born in mid 90's and they're mostly my family's belongings. -w- )

Now that I think about it, I don't remember much about my own childhood, thought not tReally needed anyway.

[BobbyjoeX]

oddly the song "House on Pooh Corner" by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band even tho i was born WAY after this song came out

These:

This doesn't totally have to do with the topic, but this is the best version:

[Jenny-Toons]

Gosh, what about seeing the commerical with the dancing mail man XD

[Myst]

Oh my god. I feel even more like a dinosaur now and I'm still in my early 20s.

[TACOBERTO]

I don't even have to go back that far to realize how old I am.
The Toy Story movies we're my favorite as a kid, then I realized the third one came out 9 years ago.

[Strontium]

Thinking the song "Unwritten" by Natasha Beddinfield was the best song ever. I was a bit older when this song came out but I ascribed all this meaning to it that now thinking back on I find embarrassing.

Also,
Hit Clips

[akitsukino]

I always loved how intense the singers of these intros were! Like in this one. (I think it's the same singer)

[akitsukino]

Just to add to the nostalgic kid music train.

[Jenny-Toons]

Don't forget about those infomericals!

[KoreanTacos]

as a kid I always thought those were some of coolest unnecessary things I wish I had.
