1995.... The peak of humanity. Industrial clubs everywhere, fun cheap bars, bright clothes, danceable music, computers you still had a chance of understanding somewhat, home appliances and lightbulbs didn't need firmware updates or spy on you, affordable housing and groceries, relative worldwide peace...

I think I'd burst into tears if I saw this sign IRL

So, a white bread is USD0.77?

I don't expect places to have wifi. If only phones had their own way of connecting to the internet.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago

Do people really want wifi these days? Why would i trust some random sketchy wifi if my own phone has a plan with >5gb.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago

But people in the real world don’t like talking to me.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

I never use any public WiFi on my phone, why would you use wifi like it's 2005?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago

What do you want me to act like my kin circa 1995? Because if so you may want to get out of the way cause I've got a weed sprayer filled with diesel and a little cigarette!

If you put this passive agressive bullshit up ima gonna smoke indoors and pay 25c for my drink.

Maybe drink too much, assault a woman and call the bartender the f slur. Feeling cute.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (6 children)

What the fuck is the f slur? Other than fuck

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

Everyone was wrong.

whispers

It's "French".

I think it's the one that rhymes with Taggart. And is another word for a bassoon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Is faggart like a new slur? Or do you just have questionable rhyming skills?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Taggart sounds more like maggot than fan-art. Two example pronunciations here, the first closer to the latter but I think the second sounds closer to maggot: https://youtu.be/pb0CEn5YiIQ?t=94

Seems like an American thing to pronounce it "tag-arrrr-t".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago

Gonna start calling my gay artist friend a faggart now thanks.

I didn't like talking to other people in 1995, and I sure as hell aren't going to start enjoying it now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

Sure, go back to a time where you might have to fight for your life just for wearing the wrong t-shirt out of Blur and Oasis (Pulp btw).

i hate phones

(i have no other comment.)

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

When my family goes out we usually have to put our phones away. It was my rule, but now I break my own rules and my kids have to tell me to put my phone away. I guess my kids are better than me now.

"Here's the $0.85 for the coffee, thanks!"

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Your welcome! Enjoy your styrofoam cup coffee from a deli that smells of Malboro cigarettes. The sugar has weird moving black things and milk has been left out for 3 days.

I never understood why Starbucks became big in the US, but I always assumed it was something like that.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It’s actually because they started offering syrup filled, whip cream and caramel covered drinks directly on the menu. They were briefly infamous for like 1000 calorie macchiatos.

Little espresso shops had flavor shots before, but the rest were pretty much donut shops that sold regular utility coffee, and the sugar and fat was external (donuts sandwiches and pastries).

This sign goes hard in countries that belonged to former Yugoslavia.

We Do Not Have ✨WiFi✨

Use The Hotspot On Your Phone Like A Normal Person

Or Get A Data Card For Your Laptop IDK Or Care

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There’s a place near me that I don’t go to very often, and almost never if I’m alone. They have great food and it’s pretty cheap, but they don’t have WiFi.

That normally wouldn’t be a problem, because I rarely use any of my cell data, but it’s a super old building full of interference and I can only get cell signal if I happen to get one of the 3 seats within 10 foot of the front windows.

If I do go by myself, I get weird looks for bringing comic books or video games and just existing by myself, but there’s nothing else to do while waiting for food so..

Depending on the country, paying like it's 1995 would be the best power move. Here's, dunno, 100 francs? 5 marks?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Oh yes. If you're a Dutch soldier you even get free drinks, and it only costs your honor.

Happy 30th anniversary. Cheers to the Dutch Army.

Cool. Lemme just paint the ceiling with my brains so I can approximate what it was like when I wasn't around.

Am i the only one who wishes this was common? Put your stupid phones away. How have we not matured enough to not be so addicted to little flashy lights.

i guess i am getting old. but i really think it is sad, when a group goes to the restaurant/coffee/bar and everyone is staring at their individual screen

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

McDonald's STILL has newspapers sitting in a rack next to the counter where I am. Growing up these places had magazines and newspapers available to read. People "back then" didn't just randomly talk to strangers, they just kept themselves busy with other things.

Yes, there's a problem with people not interacting physically anymore, but it's not cause we have electronics, it's cause people don't have a place to go outside the home anymore. This is a problem with a lack of community centers and walk-able neighborhoods, not a problem with phones.
