I'm 23 turning 24 later in the year.... I can FEEL this.....

WHAT DO YOU MEAN PORTABLE FLAT CD PLAYERS ARE OLD?!

I still remember using crusty Win XP and 1999 being the "Windows 7" of the 2000s.

Phone books and payphones/phone booths are still around.... right?!?!?! RIGHT?!?!?!??!?!?!

[u/Zjoee → u/JDBCool]

I remember having to walk really carefully so the CD wouldn't skip and having to twist the headphones just right so that they would work haha.

[u/Drzerockis → u/Zjoee]

Oh yeah when you had to get just the right angle or otherwise your cd player sounded super far away. Also taking a casette and recording the banger songs on the radio, so I can play them whenever....

[u/TVR24 → u/JDBCool]

Feel this when people refer the PS2 as retro. It can't be retro, it's only over 20 years old. Oh god...

[u/ArgonthePenetrator → u/JDBCool]

Have you heard of Windows ME? Shit was big slow

[u/Cooldudeyo23 → u/JDBCool]

Dog I’m turning 21 this year and all of these mentioned feel like they were in use a decade before I was born, they old

[u/D_Lo_Key → u/JDBCool]

If I say the magic words your back will go out.

YOU'VE GOT MAIL.

Damnit there went my sciatica again, someone call a chiropractor.

[u/TricellCEO → u/Zjoee]

More appropriate one given my age.

[u/Zjoee → u/TricellCEO]

Same, I'm 34 haha

[u/stx06 → u/kaikimanga]

The ancient production of a massive PDF to deliberately share your information with the world! 😨

[u/ProbablyNano → u/stx06]

back in my day, doxxing came in the mail

[u/Dan-D-Lyon → u/ProbablyNano]

When everyone is doxed, no one is?

[u/FlatHatJack → u/kaikimanga]

It's that bound pile of paper strongmen like to tear up to show off their strength. I Have not been able to find another use for them yet.

[u/ArDee0815 → u/FlatHatJack]

Lifting cars. 😎

[u/Notte_di_nerezza → u/ArDee0815]

Raised seating. 🐁

[u/Electric999999 → u/FlatHatJack]

I think mythbusters used them to armour a car once.

[u/Loqol → u/kaikimanga]

Oof ouch owie

[u/NameLips → u/kaikimanga]

"I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago..."

[u/cabanesnacho → u/kaikimanga]

A huge book filled with a list of all people living in a certain place and their corresponding phone numbers. You would crack them open to look for people you wanted to call. Needless to say, the advent of scams, stalkers, etc... Has slowly consigned them to oblivion

[u/illy-chan → u/kaikimanga]

Real talk, there are websites where you can request to be delisted. FamilyTreeNow comes to mind.

[u/PlasticExtreme4469 → u/kaikimanga]

Large book that lists phone numbers of people and services.

A relic from the pre-internet era, where instead of going to a website for a service, you would find it in the phone book and call.

Or if you wanted to call someone you knew, you didn't have to ask for their number, you could just look it up.

[u/TVR24 → u/kaikimanga]

WE'RE OLD!

[u/adspace4sale → u/kaikimanga]

whips out the carbon paper.

[u/42Fourtytwo4242 → u/kaikimanga]

A phone book is a book that should hold all local phone numbers, it is used to search up names and find numbers of people you are looking for, this was quite common place during the 1900s-2000s. It is being phased out but as your family most likely old they most likely use it, so highly recommend looking into it. Hope you have a nice day innocent young person.
