The "Back in my day" game

[```]

Back in my day, these mini Nintendo Pokemon viewfinder toys were sold in gashapon machines. You can look into the small viewer and press the button underneath the Gameboy to look at different images of Pokemon.

Back in my day, beanie babies looked like this!

so sad I had to type in "vintage beanie babies" to get better images to choose from

I didn't know they still made them. I had to look at the new ones out of curiosity and they look so weird with the big eyes. Almost looks like the company that makes the Bratz dolls makes them now lol. They kind of look tacky now.

They're not even primarily filled with "beans" anymore either! I somehow like the look of a few of the new ones but I still wish they would go back to the classic beanie baby.. they're so much better

Back in my day you had to wait until the commercials to use the bathroom.

Back in my day, people went to the video library to borrow DVDs and games.

Or just do anything. Like take out trash is a madman 100 yard dash. At least that was the case for me growing up since we had a never ending driveway.

Back in my day, FanFiction.net used to look like this.

Back in my day, people didn't go to the park just to have their face glued to their smartphone the ENTIRE damn time!

Back in my day you never used the internet on your phone simply because it was so darn expensive.

I wanted to see what it looks like now and I can't lie, their set up looks worst in 2022 then it did in 2002. Kinda crazy that they went from a semi-decent set up to what looks like a half-butt school blackboard site. It's so generic it looks uninspired. At least I can see they tried to make the userface unique for its time.

I love how the original posts says it doesn't have to be a real thing, but we are posting abut very real things

Back in my day cell phones were much sturdier

Back in my day shiny Pokémon were rare.

 

[TurnipBell20]

Back in my day you were looking forward everyday to using the internet on the PC because you didn’t have a phone.

 

[NovariusHaze]

Back in my day, Lego wasn’t so expensive.

 

[VernalLapin]

Back in my day, we actually had computer labs at school (they took them out of my middle school the year after I left and my high school the year before I think 9_9) and now everyone only has crappy chromebooks that don’t even work

Back in my day, we used to have VHS (Video Home System) to watch movies.

Back in my day we had to wait until specific times of the day to watch certain TV shows. If you didn’t remember the time your favorite show played you either waited until it appeared again or got a disc that contained some episodes.

And doing anything during the commercial break was like a mad dash.

running back to the tv after taking 30 seconds longer than planned to make a quick snack so you don't miss the episode coming back from commercial break

Back in my day we didn't talk to strangers
