1995… The peak of humanity. Industrial clubs everywhere, fun cheap bars, bright clothes, danceable music, computers you still had a chance of understanding somewhat, home appliances and lightbulbs didn’t need firmware updates or spy on you, affordable housing and groceries, relative worldwide peace…
I think I’d burst into tears if I saw this sign IRL
So, a white bread is USD0.77?
I don’t expect places to have wifi. If only phones had their own way of connecting to the internet.
Do people really want wifi these days? Why would i trust some random sketchy wifi if my own phone has a plan with >5gb.
But people in the real world don’t like talking to me.
What do you want me to act like my kin circa 1995? Because if so you may want to get out of the way cause I’ve got a weed sprayer filled with diesel and a little cigarette!
I never use any public WiFi on my phone, why would you use wifi like it’s 2005?
If you put this passive agressive bullshit up ima gonna smoke indoors and pay 25c for my drink.
Maybe drink too much, assault a woman and call the bartender the f slur. Feeling cute.
What the fuck is the f slur? Other than fuck
Everyone was wrong.
whispers
It’s “French”.
I think it’s the one that rhymes with Taggart. And is another word for a bassoon.
Is faggart like a new slur? Or do you just have questionable rhyming skills?
Taggart sounds more like maggot than fan-art. Two example pronunciations here, the first closer to the latter but I think the second sounds closer to maggot: https://youtu.be/pb0CEn5YiIQ?t=94
Seems like an American thing to pronounce it “tag-arrrr-t”.
Gonna start calling my gay artist friend a faggart now thanks.
Imagine a bundle of sticks all rolled together….
Fascist?
Same thing. Check the mussolini party
But what why would they be riding their loud motorcycles in a coffee shop?
“Faggot”, slur used for homosexual men.
also queer people in general
I didn’t like talking to other people in 1995, and I sure as hell aren’t going to start enjoying it now.
Sure, go back to a time where you might have to fight for your life just for wearing the wrong t-shirt out of Blur and Oasis (Pulp btw).
i hate phones
(i have no other comment.)
When my family goes out we usually have to put our phones away. It was my rule, but now I break my own rules and my kids have to tell me to put my phone away. I guess my kids are better than me now.
“Here’s the $0.85 for the coffee, thanks!”
Your welcome! Enjoy your styrofoam cup coffee from a deli that smells of Malboro cigarettes. The sugar has weird moving black things and milk has been left out for 3 days.
ohfuckyes
I’m sold
I never understood why Starbucks became big in the US, but I always assumed it was something like that.
It’s actually because they started offering syrup filled, whip cream and caramel covered drinks directly on the menu. They were briefly infamous for like 1000 calorie macchiatos.
Little espresso shops had flavor shots before, but the rest were pretty much donut shops that sold regular utility coffee, and the sugar and fat was external (donuts sandwiches and pastries).
Remember playing pool in the 90s, I didn’t even smoke but I feel I will have copd.
This sign goes hard in countries that belonged to former Yugoslavia.
“Do u think y2k is gonna happen?,”
I don’t know but I’ve been stockpiling canned food in my basement and I bought a portable toilet just in case.
Portable … toilet?
I too own a bucket.
Porta potty/ porta john
Outhouse on the go
Rolling stench box
Close the fucking lid so it vents right
this made me look up “bucket toilet” and actually you can very much make an actual toilet like that, which is good to know.
big bucket, plastic bags, some sawdust in the bag, and a toilet seat ontop.
Why not just hold the bag and poop directly into it? You can save on all that other stuff and you can do it anywhere. Even better: just shit on the ground. It’s the end-times, it’s fine.
because that’s gross?
Agree to disagree.
We Do Not Have ✨WiFi✨
Use The Hotspot On Your Phone Like A Normal Person
Or Get A Data Card For Your Laptop IDK Or Care
There’s a place near me that I don’t go to very often, and almost never if I’m alone. They have great food and it’s pretty cheap, but they don’t have WiFi.
That normally wouldn’t be a problem, because I rarely use any of my cell data, but it’s a super old building full of interference and I can only get cell signal if I happen to get one of the 3 seats within 10 foot of the front windows.
If I do go by myself, I get weird looks for bringing comic books or video games and just existing by myself, but there’s nothing else to do while waiting for food so…
Yeah, I think there’s about two games you can download to your phone that will run without an internet connection. Even fucking Balatro—what do you need internet for? People have paid for the game!
except that in america at least lots of data plans somehow block you from using the hotspot function, i do not fathom how the fuck it’s possible but people keep talking about it so i have to assume it’s a real thing…
What? That’s… that’s insane
the US is completely fucking insane, all the stuff we hear about countries like china and north korea basically actually happen in the US and no one gives a fuck, and americans just find it so normal that they don’t realize others would think it’s fucked up
Yep, Americans have less freedom than North Koreans because we can’t tether our phones data service to our laptops. /s
I fully support net neutrality, but there are bigger problems than not being able to tether your phone’s data plan to your laptop.
