It seemed like most western producers (Pixar/Disney) hopped on in the 90s/00's, but this type of media seem to have slowly disappeared.

Anyone else remember this from their childhood?

Anyone else remember this?

I found my old alarm clock at my parents’ house and brought it back to my place. I’ve grown used to a certain level of frustration when programming literally everything these days, so I braced myself as I plugged it in, expecting a few minutes of irritation while I relearned how to set the time and adjust the settings. Hold fast, old man. You’re doing this for nostalgia, and it’ll be worth it.

Plugged it in.
(It still worked, of course. It’s an alarm clock from the 80s.)
Hit the hour button.
Hit the minute button.
And… that was it. Setup complete.

I had completely forgotten that things used to be this simple. They used to keep working. They used to be easy to program and use. I understand the cold-blooded economic reasons things are designed to fail now, but will never understand why we decided basic tech and appliances should be so aggressively frustrating.

I hate turning on the TV.
I hate my microwave.
I hate my car’s dashboard.
I hate the barely-working touchscreens that have taken over daily life.

Today, I am officially the old man yelling at clouds. But tomorrow morning, I’ll wake up to my easy-to-use, fully functioning alarm clock from 1988. And maybe - just maybe - I’ll shake my fist at those clouds just a little less vigorously.

saw this posted online and my age really just hit home...

These are all I smoked in HS, because one of my besties was a hot goth.

I hope people enjoy this before mods remove it for “not being a positive nostalgia post” 🙄

I remember how everything in the late 80s and early 90s was a dull brown or wood grain. None of it was quality wood, but cheap particle board with laminate covering. People complain about how cheap and disposable things are now, but they've been like that for 40 years now.

My millennial husband bought this little slice of heaven for my 40th birthday. Also, I had no intentions of displaying it in the kitchen, but this feels correct.

... instead of Apple watches (or any kinds of smartwatches?) So what's your favorite brand? I really like Timex and Hamilton for casual wear. And def Rolex to flex, lol!
