ITT: We Are Old

What was that, sonny?

Back in my day, people actually rollplayed!

Back in my day renting movies meant going to store.

Back in my day, the internet made funny noises when you started it up.

Back in my day beanie babies were worth their weight in gold.

Back in my day, a good download speed was 3.2kb/sec. 5kb/sec was great and 10kb/sec was pure fantasy.

Back in my day we knew who the Street Sharks were.

Back in my day, “transgender” wasn’t a commonly known or used term and people mainly had those kinds of operations done to correct birth defects.

Back in my day Superman looked like this:
 

 
And Batman looked like this:
 

Back in my day, Superman could only leap tall buildings, admittedly in a single bound, but no flying, just leaping.

Back in my day they used strings to fly in movies!

Back in my day, “Made In Japan” was a joke, implying a product of vastly inferior quality.
 
Today, it’s “Hecho En China”.

Back in my day we had one team of Power Rangers.

Back in my day TF2 had frequent content updates, or any content updates for that matter.

Listen here sonny! I- what? who are you?

Back in my day, we used to bring all our old tires and any rubber materials to a local drop-off station for the war effort.

Back in my day, this was the best thing to see in school  

I don’t think most of us even need to put on an act for this thread.

@Officer Hotpants  
I wonder who’s the oldest out of all of us.
 
Also, I was never acting T-T

@Officer Hotpants  
Lol I haven’t. @acres  
I’m 29.

@Dex Stewart

Back in my days, we had two Germanys and we had to share Berlin.

@Adan Druego  
Back in my day all I knew of German culture was Dieter from Pepper Ann.

I can’t argue with the mods like I used to but I have my ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. “Give me five bees for a quarter”, you’d say. Now where were we…? Oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big, yellow ones…

Back in the day people well more respectful and decent
