Friends

You don’t have any now?

Nevermore seems fitting for what we cannot hold onto. And well… raven. 🤷‍♀️

My innocence.

Freedom

What, you don’t have freedom now?

Perhaps it’s just the feeling, but life seems more constricting now then it did back then.

Certainly for the teens these days it is.

Yeah maybe it was just the time, 2023 be like a chokehold. But it’s always darkest before the dawn.

Absolutely 💯 Jonathan

Gel pens

Do they not exist anymore? 😂

Haha if they do they’re def not cool anymore

No they do and are

Can confirm

Damn where have I been? They’re still cool?! Lfg.

I dunno bout cool but they be round.

👀👀 yea I always thought it was an archaic milennial thing.

Kinda like Lisa frank notebooks

🫂

The ability to experience a lot of basic things for the first time

Yes 🙌

My long hair.

Your hair won’t grow?

Ah yes! My long beautiful sun bleached hair. I’d like that back for sure

The ability to just walk over to my friends.

They live all across germany now and we have to literally schedule vacation or bet on the spontanousness of someone else to make something happen. It sucks, royally. :(

😭 agreed

People giving me hours a day to work out. 😂

Hair in my head.

😂

My dad

Me too 😭

So few responsibilities

Yes 🙌

Bike trails.

The energy and strength from my youth……

💪 🦵

Absolutely 💯

Alcohol tolerance 🍻

Mine has gotten better 😂🥂

Less responsibility, time , hair . It seems like a bald heads club here 😂

Sounds like it 😂

Optimism.

JUST KIDDING! I just thought that was freaking hilarious that “optimism” is the name of the new bot crap-coin. The name just fits so well here though.

😂

this 1979 Bronco

so many great moments of my life with this truck

You had that in High School? 😮

my first vehicle. 410hp & 8mpg … but back when gas was 99¢ per gallon.

Dang 💜

My best friend, RIP

😭💜

The tragedy of growing older is losing people you care about. Thanks for the kindness 💜

Agreed 💜

Time, i wish i had that kind of time.

Same 💜

The young age 😂

Absolutely 🙌😂

The slimmy that broke my heart when she migrated to the states…lol

😭💜

🤣 blame it on the beers

😂😂 🍻

😜

No worries

Yep 😞

My General Electric CD player

My son wants a turntable for xmas, my how it all goes round in circles!

Audio Technica makes a really good model that's not insanely expensive btw. 😉

I shall look it up, thank you 🙏

Damn they don’t have built in speakers!

Hoping to get one that’s built in for space saving.

Thanks bro 💜

You're welcome sis. I don't own one, but the brother I just spent the day with does, and he loves his.

Mine is a Technica. 😄

Yeah he’s to get sick of it after I’d say 1 year so I don’t wanna spend too much!

Totally get it. Some of the Crosley's also have a CD player and bluetooth, so he can use it with his phone music while studying, etc. Very multifunctional.

Now that’s perfect for a tech kid 💜

This is why my family calls me before going to Best Buy. 🤣

And I shall do the same, well text you 😉

Behold, plebs!

The one vitrola to master them all.

(Probably you know it by record player or phonograph, but this is the time for you to learn a new word for the best thing ever invented)

My virginity ( very early high school). 😂

You wish you were a ‘virgin’ again 😂😂

Yer. The first time felt like chooks flying out of my bum. (To quote Kevin bloody Wilson)

Are you talking about sex with a male or female? 🤔😂

🤣😂🤣

Well when he said ‘chooks flying out of his bum’ I’m inclined to think he’s talking about same sex here? Am I wrong Frank? 🤣

Thats the way I understood it.

Sounds like “chooks” is male sex organs? And he had several going in and out of his bum. 🤷🏻‍♂️

(My upside down aussie speak is a bit rusty)

😂😂😂😂

Life with no phones

Ditto

If someone from the future would have told me in high school that I would be able to carry a phone with me I would have said “WTF would I want a pocket-size phone for??”

😂😂

What colour did you have?

We had a yellow one 😂

White phones only…we were maniacs 😂

This thing w a cord extension 🤙

“Get off the phone brother/sister! my friend is going to call me some time this weekend”

forgot about the low time preference 💀

Taking it all the way into your bedroom 😂

Yes…I remember school being cancelled for a week bc Storm hit the local phone switch boards 😂

My aunt told me that phone numbers used to be a word and some numbers like “Orange 253” and whatnot - how great would that be to just have that simplicity!

Do you remember your old home phone number? 😂

YES!!!!

and my friends’ phone numbers from across the street!

No clue what anyone’s numbers are anymore. They might as well be 24 digits long now.

I remember a couple. and old phone numbers my parents had.

can remember my slide friends numbers to save my life

😂

272-9174

Dang you’ve got a great memory!

We moved houses so many times that our number kept changing so I’ve no idea!

I’m flat out now remembering my mobile number 😂

45yrs ago😂

Oh how I wish phone numbers were short now. They used to be easy to remember, like limericks

😂 those were the days!

I still remember the combination to my lock for my middle school locker. I bet a lot of folks on here do too

Same one in yellow!!!!

Yes 🙌

Black!

Didn’t show any marks or dirt 😂

Probably because it was the cheapest 😆

Five girlfriends. 🫶🏻

Those were the days. 🤷‍♂️

You stud 😂 💜

🤣 🤣

🤣🤣 nailed it!

Higher testosterone.

There’s pills for that I’m sure 😂

Free time.

💜

My grandparents alive and well, and fresh supple knee and shoulder joints. They’re still functional, just more painful than they used to be. Other than that, not much. Definitely not my immature teenage brain, it got me into trouble!

That teenager brain got us all into trouble 😂😂

Funny cause a few friends posting the same thing on Facebook lol

Great minds think alike 😜

Wet dreams and six pack abs

You wish for the first one?!?!

😆

It was such a mystery! 😂

YOU, my dear wolf, are a mystery. 😆

Thank you 🫂

Indeed he most certainly is 😉

Yeahhh wtf 😂😂

Still have the abs..

But would trade all 6 for my innocent naivetè ...

Serious answer: Time

thiss

Love it

The one thing no amount of bitcoin or fiat can buy 😞💜

So true 🥲

Time with loved ones 🥲🫂

So very precious 💜

It would be a kick to have my Harley Davidson Sprint 250 to ride once more.

It looked very much like the one in this photo, only better... I painted my frame black, and the tank, fenders, and trim a metallic midnight blue darker than the bike in this image.

Oh noooo, you don’t have it anymore 😭

Tears, indeed!

The tank is a beautiful teardrop shape.

If I never replace it here, I hope to one day restore or re- create one like it in the New Heavens and New Earth.😆

Abs

😂 without working out!

My old beat up 1971 slowsmobile cutlass supreme

Savage 🤙

Wasn’t all that slow though until I blew the transmission lol

Haha, I bet

I had a 1971 VW Camper Van 🏄 It was my favorite vehicle ever

Rotary dial phones on the kitchen wall

My old friends and the blissful ignorance of not having to worry about what's going on out in the big bad world. Then again, I'm thankful of what I know today that I did not know back then.

Ignorance was bliss back then 💜

Curiosity and energy.

Friend and I coded some stuff I don't understand how we were able to with our nonexistent knowledge and super limited tools.
