Going to school, going outside, etc as a kid with NO phone.

S*** seems kinda crazy in retrospect, but 8 year olds all having iPhones and s*** is even crazier.

Bro I bought one of those 'cheat code books' from like Gamestop back in the day because finding cheat codes on internet wasn't really a thing

People not being heavily obsessed with social media

Renting movies out from Redbox

Asking your parents to play games on their “dumb phone”

Writing/memorizing cheat codes

When you had to go to the public library to get old shows/movies on DVD before Netflix, Hulu, and online streaming

Had to return that s*** in 30 days and then re-check it out so you wouldn't get no fees and s*** too

Man I’m curious if those game guide books are even a thing anymore

Last time I bought one was for a Pokémon game and that was from 2009

Thread made me realize how times have changed

Downloading music instead of streaming

I think I did this at one point, too.

The joy of the internet as a youngin was unmatched. That s*** really was the wild west

Everysite had uniqueness to it, and I felt like such a boss going on that poppin new site called youtube

Too out of the loop for myspace tho. Solely used AIM before facebook.

these were the original mobile games

When everybody house had a dictionary/thesaurus/encyclopedia and phone book

Now the internet be dry af

Finding new site always got A paywall behind it. Or asking me to register, or asking for my f***in cookies 😡😡😡

Getting yellowbooks delivered to your door so you could call up a business

When your phone service was based on minutes allowed 😒

I have funny story man

Back in elementary school I had a crush on this girl who no longer went to my school (at that time). My dumbass looked through the yellow book thinking there were people’s personal information and tried to find it all day long

i remember the day they did that s***. i was mad as hell

Downloading music and movies. This would sometimes take hours.

Calling friends home phone everytime you wanted to hang out

Being the chalkboard washer

Going to your friend's house and beating their ass in Def Jam and them knocking the PS2 over in upset

Good times

listening to led zeppelin on a discman with bass boost

watching dragonball 6am in the morning on weekdays on upn or channel 11 forget which

swirlies

mj raping kids being in the papers every other day
