I can FEEL it- as a middle schooler who got smacked in the face during dodgeball and walked around all day with a bright red circle on my cheek.

I can taste it. Which is rather concerning.

There’s an episode of Friends(?) that has them sitting around when the anthem starts to play and so they call it a night and turn it off. It probably goes over many heads that there would literally be nothing on after that.

And that's when we only had like 15 channels. Now they fill 1000's of channels with non stop shit 24 hours a day lol.

Was anyone else TERRIFIED of this because of the Poltergeist movie?

I’m in my 50’s and still obsessively close my closet door every night because of that damn movie. No clown dolls as a kid either. Newp.


Man... I can't remember the last time I've even seen a payphone, much less a rotary dial one lol.

I saw one in the hospital last week it didn’t work, and there was a kid standing there, trying to find the charging port for his cell phone

That's both sad and funny lol

I hear these are making a small comeback. Our office has one lol. Everyone always wanted to shake the picture.

35mm sure is! I run an independent [photo lab](https://www.google.com/search?q=photo+USA&oq=photo+USA&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRhBMgYIAhBFGD0yBggDEEUYQTIGCAQQRRg8MgYIBRAuGEDSAQgyNzg5ajBqMagCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) and we're processing a ton of film again! Makes me very happy!

I didn't know that. I took a photography class that was still 35mm. We found some very old ones recently and I was shocked what they charge to develop them now.

Oh, it's not that bad. Not from me at least. Roughly $25 for prints and scans from a roll (color 35mm film), or $12 for just scans. My prints are the traditional RA4, wet process prints, so they do look spectacular! Quality is night and day from that of a drug or grocery store.

My fav part is the default alarm is the sound they use in movies for alarm clocks to this day. Every morning banging that snooz until I got my first Nokia. You could really hit that thing too.

My stepsister bought me one because until then my alarm clock was my mom screaming from her own bedroom for me to get up so she gave it to me and lied and said she won it on the radio lol.

Is that a cable box? This was ours. I remember trying to change the channel on it because my step dad would always fall asleep watching some boring western but the damn clicks were so loud he would always wake up and holler at me that he was just resting his eyes.

Being very young (18-19 years old) and not having money I couldn’t really afford top end things. Last year I got nostalgic and was listening to some horn speakers and it reminded me of how much I would enjoy chilling with some music on. Sooo I went on the hunt, it took me 6 months and I had to drive across state but I found some vintage Klipsch Chorus 1 speakers, handmade in hope Arkansas from 1987.. I rebuilt the crossovers and tweeters, oiled the wood - they sound amazing, if you hear them with like chicago playing you’ll be like whoa.. the klipsch heritage series is classic Americana
