Mary Poppins. The (as it possibly happens) one of a kind lense that perfectly matched the frequency of light produced by sodium vapor lamps. It produced a green screen like effect that was better than anything else for decades to come.

Look at the above image above and notice how perfectly you can see the background through the diaphanous fabric of the hat.

12 bar blues novelty songs aren’t your thing? Takes all kinds, I guess.

What AI wouldn’t know about tribbles?

Somewhere around 1987, I had my computer modem call my university library’s phone number directly so that I could see if the book that I needed was available (it was a long walk to the library). My computer acted as a terminal and the screen displayed everything pretty much the same as the terminals installed in the library itself (text only, monochrome display). Not really the internet, but probably the first practical use of a network of sorts for me.

You must have had access to the best drugs in the 80s because they were not what you describe at all.

I used to experience a lot of negative emotions when I thought about the second ammendment

Would the “celebrity” have a security detail?

So, what you’re saying is … sometimes there’s a movie… I won’t say a film, ‘cause, what’s a film? But sometimes, there’s a movie. And I’m talkin’ about The Big Lebowski here. Sometimes, there’s a movie, well, it’s not the movie for its time and place.

Thanks, I’ll have to look at that

Multiple - that was it. Thanks!

I loved being able to group news/posts according to subject. Feel like news related to only one group today - no problem!

When I used RIF, I could group subreddits together (can’t remember what the name for it was), so I could put all subreddits for one subject in one group, all subs for another subject in another. It was great when I felt like seeing news about one subject, but felt like ignoring everything else.

I don’t think lemmy has anything like this, and I don’t know if any of the apps do this either.

I reeaaaaly miss being able to group subs.

I know I was doing some worried scrolling

Name has its own theme song

I am currently wearing a pair of shorts that I bought sometime in the late '80s. The top blanket currently on my bed was made by my grandmother in the '70s. The clock right in front of me was made during WW2, but I’ve only had it for a couple of decades. I guess I just don’t throw shit away

Edit: now that I think of it, my bed is probably from the '30s or '40s.

Yeah, I don’t think spoons, and sandwiches, and socks are going to change that much. Most ‘tech’ changes a couple of times in a single lifetime (this was true even several hundred years ago), but the basics stay largely the same. Language is how they’ll catch you
