EXACTLY!! Like- how are some people so blinded by reality that they have no clue about common things? Like photo albums, or pay phones. Both of those things still very much exist and are still very much being used (maybe not as much for the pay phones but you get it, I hope 😅😅)

1:20:40 This is a disk defragmenter. Platter-based hard drives used to have a lot less care about where they put all the segments of each program or file you stored on them, so there would be little pieces of program scattered all over the drive. This helped organize all of those pieces of each program into the same relative space on the disk. Modern-day hard drives have a lot less trouble with this problem, thanks to the operating system being more picky about telling the hard drive where to store files, but it can still help to run defrag every year or so, especially if you still have a platter-based drive, as opposed to an SSD.
The other reason is that starting with Windows 7, it would automatically run defragmentation in the background without telling you. It still does in fact. SSDs technically don't require defragmentation, but Windows still does it anyway.
The thing about being 35 is, everyone you interact with that "should be" older than "the main character" in your life STILL IS (a police constable, librarians, bus drivers...), so as long as you're childless and still wearing hoodies and t-shirts, you really do go around still thinking you're 23 until specific things like these hit you.
16:16 Not only can we *hear* this computer, but remember the smell of the heat from the back and sides?! It's so funny how we can see an image from the past, and remember the sounds and smells that accompanied them!😄
20:57 ADHD version: We had personal phone/address books &/or only memorized a few phone numbers other than our own. We knew our way around our own town but had no clue what most roads we traveled down were called. We wandered off in stores or places we weren't familiar with. We had no way of calling anyone in an emergency, if we didnt know where we were, & no one could call us if we werent near a phone. We were lost a lot, had our names called over store speakers to reunite with our family, & missed out on a lot by waiting by the phone or missing out on being invited to fun things if we were outside all day. Most of us neurodivergent girls also missed out on a good, trauma free childhood because no one noticed we were struggling from undiagnosed ADHD/AuDHD.
they did that from my first year to now, and I'm currently in that Gen Z and Gen alpha area, like 2009 or smth, and I have siblings, they still do the game. never head of the other one Kenny put up

The “I’ll paint any car, any color” slogan was used when the majority of the population (US) drove a Ford Model T which was exclusively painted in black enamel so this dates back to the 1910s to 1920s

I think that a lot of people have this idea that those continuous towel dispensers dispense out the towel in the top and then it goes into the bottom and somehow gets magically cleaned and it comes right out the top. This is one long continuous towel which one spool feeds a clean length of towel out the top slot and it comes around and goes into the bottom where the dirty towel is wrapped around another spool. At some point, the towel will be removed and washed and replaced with a clean towel on the top spool again.
50:50 Yup, that was a thing in Europe too. One of the first instances of an automated answering system - reading off the current time every few seconds.
26:35 I needed *3* Swanson dinners to be satisfied, and I was a skinny girl! My older brother added so much bread and extra hotdogs and cheese, because the meal portions weren't filling enough for after school snacks, let alone dinners lol😅
10:45 I feel the need to say this even though it wasn't technically on this vid since Robin did kinda invoke the topic, and I've heard him rant about FRIENDS a few times now and how he doesn't care if you think it's the most unfunny thing out there because he likes it. So I've had some stuff on my mind for a while I wanted to get off my chest. There's some things you need to understand objectively in regards to FRIENDS: •A show can, first and foremost, be funny to someone even if it's not funny to you. Not everyone is going to laugh at the same joke, not everyone is going to have the same type of sense of humor. •Laugh tracks are pretty much psychological warfare to force you to laugh. We are for whatever reason mentally programmed to mirror certain behaviors when we witness them (whether seeing or hearing). You may be more familiar with this when it comes to things such as yawning and sneezing, but you may have also heard the turn of phrase "an infectious smile" or a "contagious grin" etc. When someone else is in a good mood genuinely, you may be in a better mood just seeing them, even if you have no idea why they're happy. This does not mean FRIENDS isn't funny, but it does mean the laugh tracks are in the show for a reason and I'm sure we can all acknowledge that much. •Long awkward pauses will always be long and awkward. All those compilations where they take the laugh tracks out of FRIENDS to "prove" it's "not funny" ARE going to be cringe and awkward and make you feel like it's not funny because *anything would make you uncomfortable and not be funny* if you added a long pause even if someone just told the most hilarious jokes. If you took any video you think is "funnier" than FRIENDS and made a compilation where you added extended pauses with white noise or something after any joke in the show *it would make you feel just as uncomfortable as the FRIENDS without laugh tracks compilations.* Long non-responsive pauses have a psychological effect on us and are used during police interrogations to make people uncomfortable in order to get more information out of them. Want to make someone uncomfortable? Stare at them emotionlessly when they say something, as if you're waiting for them to finish the sentence they just said or add more. All of these things can be simultaneously true. Humor has morphed, the way humor is delivered has morphed. When FRIENDS started airing, the thing to do was to add laugh tracks after joke deliveries as a sort of cue that "hey this was a joke". Now the thing to do is be fast paced, drop the joke and move on with the plot. Fit in as much plot as possible in that 20 - 40 minutes or so of an episode. I do not watch FRIENDS, I have never watched FRIENDS. But I can understand, objectively, someone finds it funny. Someone enjoys it. And I never really understood browbeating someone for finding something largely popular funny or accusing people of not having a sense of humor was ever a trendy thing people did. You're allowed to dislike FRIENDS. You're allowed to hate it even. You're allowed to not be interested, and you're allowed to love it. All these opinions are valid. You don't need to justify to anyone why you don't like it, and you *really* don't need to craft reasons about why your choice not to like it is valid and anyone else is *wrong* for thinking otherwise. Just say you don't like FRIENDS and go. Bottom line: FRIENDS is funny. FRIENDS isn't funny. It is simultaneously both, because no one has the same sense of humor, and no one is more valid for thinking so, nor is their sense of humor broken, nor do they have bad taste in shows. Similarly to how these days we don't understand how Gen-Z and Gen Alpha finds a lot of their brainrot funny, comedy is constantly changing and evolving and we are shaped by our environments and time to enjoy and find humor in what we do.
Lots of people still drank from the garden hose in the summer well past when Gatorade was made. I was a kid in the 90s and that was common where I lived. Gatorade was an extra expense that people weren't going to shell out for. You'd drink from the garden hose while still outside, and when you came in there'd be a big pitcher of koolaid or iced tea or lemonade to drink from. Something dirt cheap to make
When parents could beat us, the discussions at recess talking about what sort beatings you got at home , some got it worse than others, and the shocked faces when someone said "oh, my parents don't hit us"

1:16:21 That is a headlight button, that was on the floor of most older cars, to the left of the brake pedal. You would press it with your foot, to turn the high-beams on.

As a gen z, I think tech I wasn't able to grow up with/older tech in general is cool. Yes, I will get offended if you assume I've never used an NES controller. Just cuz I'm young doesn't mean I never tried old stuff.
"Old stuff", said the child to the old lady, who still remembers when the NES controller was new. 😔😆 Nuff respect to you though, you sound like a well rounded person.
3:22 I once found pictures of me when i was like 6, 7, idk. They were negatives. I still keep them, even though i have no idea how to play them. I am 15 now and right now i have them on my shelf.

So, I just remembered an old TV show, and wondered if anyone else saw it - Big & Small, a British kids series from 2008? It used puppets of a big purple creature and a small orange one. I used to play a computer game with the characters, you could attempt to brush their teeth as they jumped away, explore, and then traverse a path in the forest to get to your destination, where either Big or Small is waiting (I think). I also used to watch Animals of Farthing Woods, an animated series infamous for it's depiction of animal death. I may have been like, under 9, but I loved the series. Only cried once, and that character didn't even die, he only got knocked out and seperated from the group. I'll be 19 this year, so not that old, but there's still some thing that are nostalgic to me.
I remember The animals of Farthing wood (coincidently in the middle of re-watching it now actually!) Though I’m surprised they were still airing in in the 2000’s when I saw it on TV it would have been the early 90’s. And I’m guessing the character that was knocked out was the scene with Fox on the river? That had a game too, a sort of point and click with some RPG elements trying to be educational.
@@HyenaOfDoom Cool! Yeah, when I grew up there were a couple re-runs in Sweden, on "Barnkanalen", as it was called back then. Still sad they changed the name and the pretty blue to a moody dark purple. I fear it might be very rare nowadays that it appears on TV, with new modern cartoons being bought rights to, and probably more profitable. At least the Swedish dub is available on TH-cam, the whole of season 1, last time I checked. No changes to the footage or anything.
@@iclynnx Fox was definatily my favorite too! I'd doubt it'd be alowed on TV these days for kids, shame really deffinatly one of the best shows from my childhood. Never know it had a swedish version, I've seen the german and the awful amarican one, the english version is all online too, I put that up back in the late 2000's as there was no version available back then, you can buy it on DVD now though.

12:07 We may have been born a time when Gatorade existed, but our parents were too *Honk* Cheap to get it, so we were forced to use the hose.
11:44 aw man, that’s reminding me of an old and rusted metal playground area in a park, and the thing had so much scratched into it, broken pieces, overall very dangerous, but still fun- just recently-ish they removed it and i’m sad
Remember the show called Zoom? Dang i feel old. The 97 version, not the 70s version
11:40 Mine had little notches on the records because the tone arm had metal teeth in it that were plucked by the notches like a music box.
Me: "We both get it" ... Robin : "I'm 27" Me: "YOU DONT GET IT!"
4:45 Can someone explain the zebra to me? What measurement of time does the zebra represent?
I was given a discman at seven, 2013, because i had become obsessed with music
dude i just screamed when he said something about space hey. my beloved
11:26 I mean he is a _sociology_ prof and beyond the practical use of actually getting what your students say (even if you're not supposed to), there might even be scientific value in a history of teen slang.
I think that a lot of people have this idea that those continuous towel dispensers dispense out the towel in the top and then it goes into the bottom and somehow gets magically cleaned and it comes right out the top. This is one long continuous towel which one spool feeds a clean length of towel out the top slot and it comes around and goes into the bottom where the dirty towel is wrapped around another spool. At some point, the towel will be removed and washed and replaced with a clean towel on the top spool again.
So it's a towel cassette.
@@necrotorium yeah, basically. For those of us who are familiar with them.
50:50 Yup, that was a thing in Europe too. One of the first instances of an automated answering system - reading off the current time every few seconds.
you bought back a forgotten memory for me with 'heads down thumbs up'.
I love the Lord of the Rings reference because I grew up watching The Hobbit as an animated cartoon movie on TV.
37:05 I know they dont have Plymouths in Australia but that pronunciation is hilarious
The woman in the picture titled "She was ahead of her time" is the singer Nena who is famous for the song "99 Luftballoons".
26:35 I needed *3* Swanson dinners to be satisfied, and I was a skinny girl! My older brother added so much bread and extra hotdogs and cheese, because the meal portions weren't filling enough for after school snacks, let alone dinners lol😅
10:45 I feel the need to say this even though it wasn't technically on this vid since Robin did kinda invoke the topic, and I've heard him rant about FRIENDS a few times now and how he doesn't care if you think it's the most unfunny thing out there because he likes it. So I've had some stuff on my mind for a while I wanted to get off my chest.
There's some things you need to understand objectively in regards to FRIENDS:
•A show can, first and foremost, be funny to someone even if it's not funny to you. Not everyone is going to laugh at the same joke, not everyone is going to have the same type of sense of humor.
•Laugh tracks are pretty much psychological warfare to force you to laugh. We are for whatever reason mentally programmed to mirror certain behaviors when we witness them (whether seeing or hearing). You may be more familiar with this when it comes to things such as yawning and sneezing, but you may have also heard the turn of phrase "an infectious smile" or a "contagious grin" etc. When someone else is in a good mood genuinely, you may be in a better mood just seeing them, even if you have no idea why they're happy. This does not mean FRIENDS isn't funny, but it does mean the laugh tracks are in the show for a reason and I'm sure we can all acknowledge that much.
•Long awkward pauses will always be long and awkward. All those compilations where they take the laugh tracks out of FRIENDS to "prove" it's "not funny" ARE going to be cringe and awkward and make you feel like it's not funny because *anything would make you uncomfortable and not be funny* if you added a long pause even if someone just told the most hilarious jokes. If you took any video you think is "funnier" than FRIENDS and made a compilation where you added extended pauses with white noise or something after any joke in the show *it would make you feel just as uncomfortable as the FRIENDS without laugh tracks compilations.* Long non-responsive pauses have a psychological effect on us and are used during police interrogations to make people uncomfortable in order to get more information out of them. Want to make someone uncomfortable? Stare at them emotionlessly when they say something, as if you're waiting for them to finish the sentence they just said or add more.
All of these things can be simultaneously true. Humor has morphed, the way humor is delivered has morphed. When FRIENDS started airing, the thing to do was to add laugh tracks after joke deliveries as a sort of cue that "hey this was a joke". Now the thing to do is be fast paced, drop the joke and move on with the plot. Fit in as much plot as possible in that 20 - 40 minutes or so of an episode.
I do not watch FRIENDS, I have never watched FRIENDS. But I can understand, objectively, someone finds it funny. Someone enjoys it. And I never really understood browbeating someone for finding something largely popular funny or accusing people of not having a sense of humor was ever a trendy thing people did. You're allowed to dislike FRIENDS. You're allowed to hate it even. You're allowed to not be interested, and you're allowed to love it. All these opinions are valid. You don't need to justify to anyone why you don't like it, and you *really* don't need to craft reasons about why your choice not to like it is valid and anyone else is *wrong* for thinking otherwise. Just say you don't like FRIENDS and go.
Bottom line: FRIENDS is funny. FRIENDS isn't funny. It is simultaneously both, because no one has the same sense of humor, and no one is more valid for thinking so, nor is their sense of humor broken, nor do they have bad taste in shows. Similarly to how these days we don't understand how Gen-Z and Gen Alpha finds a lot of their brainrot funny, comedy is constantly changing and evolving and we are shaped by our environments and time to enjoy and find humor in what we do.
29:24 I'm starting to see kids with mullets again. "We need to bring bullying back." I fell off my walker.
"Heather." Yeah, that would make way more sense.
Gotta love making myself feel ancient with another Emkay video.
Lots of people still drank from the garden hose in the summer well past when Gatorade was made. I was a kid in the 90s and that was common where I lived. Gatorade was an extra expense that people weren't going to shell out for. You'd drink from the garden hose while still outside, and when you came in there'd be a big pitcher of koolaid or iced tea or lemonade to drink from. Something dirt cheap to make
When parents could beat us, the discussions at recess talking about what sort beatings you got at home , some got it worse than others, and the shocked faces when someone said "oh, my parents don't hit us"
1:20:40 Disk defragmentation for magnetic hard disk drives. Checked for corrupted sectors and improved efficiency.
Film time at school!!! I remember that, it was the best 45 minutes of the week. I had forgotten about it (late 70's). Thanks for the reminder.
I used to love when it was a really thick reel because you knew it would last 2 days lol
26:12 My dad started writing software in the '70s, and he still is today.
when you are in a place you don't know well and you need to get food remember: it's hard to beat a good burger, but it's also hard to find inedible pizza
1:16:21 That is a headlight button, that was on the floor of most older cars, to the left of the brake pedal. You would press it with your foot, to turn the high-beams on.
Sometimes I wish I grew up in the 1980s-early 2000s because stuff felt less corporate and bland
But then I remembered I am neurodivergant, female, and how common kidnappings were.
As a gen z, I think tech I wasn't able to grow up with/older tech in general is cool.
Yes, I will get offended if you assume I've never used an NES controller. Just cuz I'm young doesn't mean I never tried old stuff.
"Old stuff", said the child to the old lady, who still remembers when the NES controller was new. 😔😆
Nuff respect to you though, you sound like a well rounded person.
3:22 I once found pictures of me when i was like 6, 7, idk. They were negatives.
I still keep them, even though i have no idea how to play them.
I am 15 now and right now i have them on my shelf.
If this is not bait (am autistic), you're supposed to take them to a photography shop and have them developed.
10:34 I noticed my town has at least one more Payphone that I saw.
As a kid in the 80's my mind was blown away by the Tomytronic 3D, I had the Sky Attack version. Only recently lost it during a move. I kinda miss it.
13:24 My grandparents had those! I remember playing with them for HOURS.
17:57 I still play this in high school. I played it all the way back in elementary and I played it in Middle School. I'm late gen. Z I don't see how people think that this just disappeared.
I'm only in my mid-30s, but it's almost charming when people find out and their first thought is "I bet this OLD FART has good advice for me." It just happened again earlier tonight on discord.
Jumping in and popping the clutch is how you start a manual car with a dead battery. Never had to do it myself but I did own manuals.
The card catalogue in the library … brings back memories! Like the need to be able to spell a word correctly to find things 😂
18:40 I started one of these this year. Yes I got a new book that came into the library. Anybody curious, it was "escape room". I forgot the artist name and it's pretty cool
1:02:56 It is a floor mounted dimmer switch for your high beam headlights, so you don't blind oncoming traffic.
So, I just remembered an old TV show, and wondered if anyone else saw it - Big & Small, a British kids series from 2008? It used puppets of a big purple creature and a small orange one. I used to play a computer game with the characters, you could attempt to brush their teeth as they jumped away, explore, and then traverse a path in the forest to get to your destination, where either Big or Small is waiting (I think). I also used to watch Animals of Farthing Woods, an animated series infamous for it's depiction of animal death. I may have been like, under 9, but I loved the series. Only cried once, and that character didn't even die, he only got knocked out and seperated from the group.
I'll be 19 this year, so not that old, but there's still some thing that are nostalgic to me.
I remember The animals of Farthing wood (coincidently in the middle of re-watching it now actually!) Though I’m surprised they were still airing in in the 2000’s when I saw it on TV it would have been the early 90’s. And I’m guessing the character that was knocked out was the scene with Fox on the river? That had a game too, a sort of point and click with some RPG elements trying to be educational.
@@HyenaOfDoom Cool! Yeah, when I grew up there were a couple re-runs in Sweden, on "Barnkanalen", as it was called back then. Still sad they changed the name and the pretty blue to a moody dark purple. I fear it might be very rare nowadays that it appears on TV, with new modern cartoons being bought rights to, and probably more profitable. At least the Swedish dub is available on TH-cam, the whole of season 1, last time I checked. No changes to the footage or anything.
@@HyenaOfDoom And yes, it was the scene with Fox. He was my favorite character.
@@iclynnx Fox was definatily my favorite too! I'd doubt it'd be alowed on TV these days for kids, shame really deffinatly one of the best shows from my childhood. Never know it had a swedish version, I've seen the german and the awful amarican one, the english version is all online too, I put that up back in the late 2000's as there was no version available back then, you can buy it on DVD now though.
