Ask Lemmy

I saw Return of The Jedi in the theaters, as well as The Black Cauldron, and The Fox and The Hound. Oh and I vaguely remember watching a 2 hour long advertisement for The Power Glove, called "The Wizard."

I have also paid $0.60 per gallon for gasoline.

I remember exactly where I was & what I was doing when 9/11 happened. I was in middle school, science class, it promptly ended & we watched the live footage play on a CRT TV.

Let me sing you the song of my people:

Boop beap boop boop krssssh GANG GANG GAN ssssSSS sssSSS sssSSS ieeee chchchCHCHCHCHCH SHSHSH

My first gaming console was N64 and I remember my parent's paid 700 USD for our 2 bedroom apartment in decent area.

I graduated high school before school shootings became a cultural norm.

My friend's stereo destroyed my cassette of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie soundtrack

I saw this on Tumblr and thought of this thread. 😃

I was using 5,25″ discs.

You could only get B&W Tvs at the store.

My first 7" single was Slade-Far far away

Biggest crush on Winona Ryder starting in high school, when Heathers came out.

Before that, Peter Weller inspired me as hard rocking neurologist, Buckaroo Banzai.

First programming was in Pascal on a Hydra machine (reel to reel computer stack serving 30 stations).

I'm not old, according to the guy in Monty Python and the Holy Grail that Arthur called "old woman."

I remember watching One Piece Skypiea arc on TV (german broadcast) in the morning, cartoon network kids next door, ATLA, Danny Phantom.
My first console was the Nintendo DS and I played 'Finding Nemo' on the OG xbox.

I have the touch. I have the power.

I'm barely still a Millenial. Which is kind of cool. I don't like the "generation names" before or after that much, and I liked that I grew up with non-invasive tech and non-existent smartphones during school. I was able to grow up with tech but none of the tech I dislike today. Also, tech was still easier to understand back then. I was able to learn how to create web sites for example when HTML, CSS, JavaScript and CGI was still in its infancy and not very complex yet. Of course I learned the growing complexitty as it all developed but the point is that it kind of grew with me. Which probably made several things easier to get into in the first place. Also, I still grew up with almost forgotten values such as privacy, and my whole youth life (as well as dumb things you did when young) isn't available online and therefore "gone". I kind of like it that way.

I fought Iraq in 2003 but the first president I could vote for was Bush v Kerry.

If that doesn't do it I don't know what will.

Also, please stop reminding me how old I am.

I am younger than Woodstock and "The Summer of Love" but older than Disco.

Old.

I remember when Fox was a brand-new network that only broadcast during specific times of the day in my area.

I cried when my Tamagotchi "pet" died.

I am two years older than TCP.

I am quite literally older than the Internet.

There was a time when impeached presidents resigned. That was my earliest memory.

I used my fake ID to buy Hpnotiq at the club because I was young and impressionable

I remember when MTV had music. At a young age, I bought a NES with saved up birthday/Christmas money because it was way cooler than my moms Atarti 2600. Playing outside around the neighborhood was the normal. Roaming the mall as a teenager was standard. Hell I remember when malls regularly had lots of people. I watched the adoption of technology from a fringe thing to mainstream.
