LED lights are great, but I miss having a mini hot plate on my desk to mindlessly touch and burn my hand.
(Do kids even watch cartoons these days, or do they go into scrolling withdrawal before the first commercial break?)
Kids today don’t know that until quite recently if you turned on the TV and you didn’t get any picture, you could give the thing a firm slap on the side and it would work.
I miss the times where I just put my favorite cassette in a random player and heard an audio play for the night, without needing Spotify and searching for a specific episode
And I’m 19
I miss cassettes and vinyl records only for nostalgia’s sake. Realistically, they were a BITCH to handle and store with questionable lifetimes and middling audio quality.
Never had problems with handling them, and analog quality is better for most purposes.
Percussive maintenance is still quite useful for shitty solder jobs. It’s not going anywhere.
I did the lamp thing once. The temp went up to 42 Celsius, and my mom thought I was dying. She wanted to call the ambulance, and I had to come clean. Fun times.
She knew
She probably did and was basically calling my bluff. Either way, it worked, and I crumbled like the liar I was.
Close to the edge of believable. Pretty sure I hit 106F as a kid once. 107F is bordering on dain bramage.
I had an ice bath once at 107, shit, and I don’t even remember why
The memory was burned out of you.
I think 103 is the safety limit
Wait is that true? I hit 104 like once every 3 months. I’ve been having regular fevers every month or so since I was like 7 and every couple times they get baaaad.
Skill issue. I practiced and was able to hit 38-39 °C consistently.
My sister and I shared a room at one point, and she decided to improvise a wax melt by sticking a tube a Cherry Dr Pepper chapstick to our lamp.
The smell never left the room.
My kids love the original Tom and Jerry and watched it on you tube. Then they watched the modern remake and they hated it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Wait til the OP learns about the Easy Bake Oven.
You mean hotboxing weed in a tiny car?
Took me too long to understand why.
I’m in college rn and i grew up not understanding that until i asked one time while watching a movie.
Pfffftttt. the real trick is to put ice cubes in your underarms for a few minutes before they checked your temp.
This is a new one for me. Doing this makes your internal tempt go higher?
What’s cartoons? Is he on TikTok?
Yeah he plays minecraft
There are no commercial breaks, if you know what you’re doing.
But that’s the least obvious one, I have to explain telephones to my kids.

Yes, if their parents go out of their way to find them.
