Okay, as someone born in 1988, I am not an elder (but also I will accept you being kind to me please, thank you ๐Ÿซ )

I'm a xennial and I'd say I'm doing pretty good at keeping up, but I'm also a software dev so that probably skews things a bit.

When I was growing up the โ€œbig scamโ€ was chain mail and televangelists.

Iโ€™m old enough to remember going to Hollywood video or blockbuster with my grandma on Fridays. Have a movie night. Those were some amazing memories.

Wasn't expecting that to be associated with 1990

The other day, someone in one of the gaming communities posted a comparison of the progress of video games from mid-90s to mid-aughts, and a more recent decade. It was clearly meant to be slightly exaggerated since the the recent screenshots were all the same one from fortnite, but the point still stands.

I wouldn't trade my 90s childhood for anything in the world.

Nah fuck em. They invented nuclear physics and they can't figure out a goddamned email? Skill issue.

My aunt was born before TV was broadcast

My mom had the first tv in our community when she was a kid cause her dad owned the general store. Before that they all gathered around the radio at the store. By they, I mean the entire community cause he was the only one with a radio as well.

I wish that wasn't painfully true.
