if you were born after they unleaded the gasoline you just cant realize how much worse it tastes now
What the gen X trash
Genx here, the only one of these worth a shit is the channel 3 one (not pictured) and even that one’s getting tired.
The hose ones are even worse though, kids have drank from them since hoses were created and continue to drink from them now. Imagine thinking you’re clever for gatekeeping water. 🙄
That’s stupid.
I was born when all those things were the norm and I could appreciate how the great technology of my youth (yes, that stuff in the photo) was compared to that of my grandparents’, whose car had plain glass windows and no seatbelts, and who bought canned music on wax cylinders. And yet I never knew those things.
Those window opener crank thingies sucked, but I miss knobs and dials. They might look dated now but they were actually rather convenient. Touchscreens are annoying as eff to multitask with. There’s so little you can do on a screen without looking. Of course we weren’t multitasking quite as much in those days, so just when we started to need tactile controls the most, they were already gone.
Figures. All the gps data in the world and the idiots on the road still can’t figure their exit, cut across 3 lanes to reach it, or realize they’ve passed it, slam it into reverse and move against incoming traffic to get back to it. Seriously. The most connected generation in human history can’t think themselves out of a goddamn box. Rant over, now get off my effing lawn!
To be fair, GPS apps have some limitations that can cause this at times. I’d love it if an early voice alert could tell me if an exit is on the left or right side of the highway or how the exit split is organized way in advance of it happening.
Gatekeeping appreciation. That’s a new one.
Parents do it all the time: “You can’t possibly understand love until your own child grabs your finger and smiles.”
I don’t need some crotch goblin to understand love
These were all “before my time” and I grew up using them. It’s called being broke
Ok grandpa 😂, none of these items have been relevant (aside from the record player for enthusiasts, and for old second-hand cars) for 2-3 decades
“You cannot appreciate cars if you did not witness horse carriages” ass post
crank window handles are awesome.
I think usually people that experienced older technology are less likely to appreciate newer ones.
I’d probably travel without phone assistance for a nickel and a pack of gum, sounds fun to just explore without being hindered
Yeah… As long as it’s a big city (min. 3 Million) and has touristic spots
