No climate crisis, no Trump, no social media, no AI, nothing.

Acid rain, aids epidemic, worst violent crime wave on record, climate change was a problem it just had yet to mature as much, recessions, and a lot of other things.

The joke in this chain of replies is, that "70s" ain't the 1970s. Please see @ours@lemmy.world comment writing "BC?" and @No_Eponym@lemmy.ca rolling with it. Unless you meant to answer @CazzoneArrapante@lemm.ee.

I did not expect people to interpret it into "because". That's even funnier than my joke.

[โ€“] Peter1986C@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago

I had not even thought of that yesterday (that Jiggle had interpreted it as "because").

No climate crisis + better economy = ain't that me problem

[โ€“] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, no people with money ever have to worry about crime, or climate issues other than heating.

[โ€“] CazzoneArrapante@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Who cares about crime, just give me a good job and a house and I'll be fine.

Ok but the 80s had terrible 80s music and awful 80s movies which cancel out all that good shit.

[โ€“] zod000@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You twice misspelled the word "awesome",. It happens all the time sadly. I bet AI filled it in for you.

[โ€“] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the 80s and 90s suffered the worst wave of violent crime on record, a bad recession, and a bunch of other things.

[โ€“] zod000@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perhaps so, I don't have the data to verify other than the recession which was at the very start of 80s and certainly didn't define the next 20 years. That wasn't what I commented about. I think the music and movies were awesome, not awful at all.

Yeah I was supposed to be commenting to cazzone not you, my mistake
