Sergei Krikalev was stuck on the Mir space station for 311 days after the Soviet Union broke up.

No, you are mistaken, 1994 was, at most, 15 years ago...

There was a story years ago about some scientists who dropped a box of tablets into a village somewhere that had no previous contact with modern tech. They went back some time later, and the kids had figured out, not only how to use them, but had networked them too. I wonder what ever happened with that, or if it was even true? I suppose I should google it.

Colman Doyle's 1973 photo of a woman IRA volunteer in Belfast became one of most iconic shots of the Troubles: https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2020/0616/1147804-troubles-northern-ireland-colman-doyle-photo-woman-ira-belfast-1973/

The idea of someone having a pet snake in 1982 would have been so bizarre that it would be deemed comical. That said snake is called "Ginger," a typical name for a harmless cat, not a 30-foot python reinforces that. This would probably have raised a sensable chuckle back in the day, but I don't think it really stands up to the test of time.

The shows were just 30 minute adverts for the toys. Some of my greatest playtime as a kid was when Cobra Commander teamed up with Darth Vader but was eventually defeated by G.I. Joes and R2D2.

 

If you are old enought to remember this show, you now make noises when you sit down. As a ten year old, this was the coolest truck on TV, the trailer would split open from the top and there was a helicopter hidden inside.
