I’ll gladly pretend it’s 1995, a Coke for 50c then?

Do I also get to relive my crippling, adolescent social anxiety from 1995??

If it’s 1995 I’m dusting off my Gameboy and pretending no one else exists.

do people really want a public wifi?
I mean i got 40gb plan and i rarely even get to 10gb
also security wise, dont use public wifi.

It was ‘essential’ back in the day to have public wifi? Now? Not even an inconvenience

I remember when I first started seeing couples who were out to dinner not talk to each other and we’re only on their phones and thinking, how rude but now it’s so common

I was 20 in 1995 and had already saved up 90k in the bank from selling grilled cheese sandwiches on Grateful Dead tour, such a care free time in my life

Give us 1995 prices then

People in ’95 didn’t talk to strangers in a coffee shop any more then than they do now.

Would be great if people would actually talk to each other. Our social skills seem to have atrophied. I love talking to people I meet. And I was only 11 in 1995.

…but I didn’t have social skills in 1995 either!

It’s cool, I have unlimited data.

even 2005 was still pre Wifi. It all started with the iphone in 2007. I can’t believe the iphone is just 17 years old

Not everything is a friends episode. In 1995 you sat with a magazine or a paper.

We don’t have electricity. Dust off your near-dark vision. Pretend it’s 1895!
We don’t have a clock. Dust off your sundial skills. Pretend it’s 1095.
Somehow, everything around me was better when I was younger and happier. So if I change the things around me to the way they were back then, I will *become* younger and happier, and everyone else will be happier like me.
People are idiots.

Nobody talked to me in 1995. I’ll just grab a book then as usual.

In 1995 I was a child and told I shouldn’t talk to strangers.

I mean, 4G still exists. I didn’t NEED your WiFi to avoid talking to people.

I was too busy playing Doom to talk to people in ‘95

These posts always confuse me. It’s usually made by some boomer to “own the kids/libs,” yet when I am out those who are glued to their phones and not socialising are always old boomers. Is it projection? Stupidity? Both?
Anyway, bring back $1 sodas.

I was 3 years old in 1995. I’ll have my free juice and a colouring book please.

Jeez, if only 4G/5G networks were a thing…
