Man this poll makes me feel old. When I got my first computer none of these other things existed yet.

Actual first electronic device I ever had was a radio. No cassette player, just a radio.

*things such as video game systems are not included in this poll

**your own, not a family/shared computer

reblog for reach/bigger sample size!!

I was today years old when I learned that ‘Netflix and chill’ means something other than hanging out and watching tv.

I know I already died on this hill so long ago that my corpse no longer stinks, but "throuple" is a DUMB word and the old words for a 3-way relationship were better. Yes, words plural, because they also conveyed more information!

Triad: all three people are all involved with each other

Vee: one person is in a relationship with both of the others, but they aren't involved with each other

In high school, I was playing this:

Every once in awhile it smacks me right between the eyes that I'm actually LIVING in the 2020s now.

Early 20s. That sure would be nice. Nothing hurts, I can walk from the bus stop to the grocer store without breathing hard, and I have enough energy to do hobby things.

Wait until you're old enough to completely forget a song existed and then rediscover it 30-40 years later. Now that's a feeling.

Desperately needed to have this on my blog

I honestly don't know. When I was 11 it was 1984. Star Wars had ended the previous year (we all thought, until 1987), and it would be another two years before The Voyage Home hit theaters and turned me into a trekkie.

WTF was I into in 1984? I don't remember!

If you guys were on here at 11 years old what would you be posting about

I'm surprised the teacher was surprised. Is there a single gen-xer in the US who DOESN'T have the preamble of the Constitution memorized because of Schoolhouse Rock?

40 years later I still know it--as long as I sing it in the same way.

have i ever told y’all about the greatest moment of my academic career

i was a freshman in college and i had this history teacher who was ~edgy~ and his hotness level on ratemyprofessor was off the charts and he was the first teacher i ever heard use the word “fuck.” anyway he would do this thing every so often where we’d have a “quiz” and the first two questions were always really easy and the last one was hard - they were all similar questions, and the point was to show what you learn about history and what you don’t. 

so one day he’s like okay kids time for a quiz and the first question was who killed abraham lincoln. the second question was who killed JFK. third question was who killed william mckinley. 

we all take a few minutes and write down our answers, and then the teacher asks the questions again so we can shout out the answers. everybody answered the first two with really no problem.

now, keep in mind that this class was at 9 a.m. and i was exhausted All The Time during my freshman year of college so i sat in the back in my sweats and never said a word and the teacher definitely had no clue who i was. 

so you can imagine his surprise when he asked the class who shot william mckinley and without missing a beat i said, “czolgosz,” pronounced correctly and everything. 

my teacher froze and in a very stern voice asked, “what was that? what did someone just say?”

i repeated: czolgosz.

my teacher: “who said that?”

i raised my hand, and my super cool history teacher glared at me. he then asked me how the hell i knew the answer. he said that in the TWENTY YEARS he’d been teaching this stupid class, nobody, not A SINGLE PERSON, had ever known the answer to that question.

i then had to quietly explain to a room full of people that there’s a musical called assassins and there’s a song about czolgosz shooting william mckinley at the great pan american exposition in buffaloooooooo (in buffaloooooooo)
