I first saw a link to that on this forum like 10 years ago and now I feel old.
- The orgasmic sound of a Gameboy turning on
House phones - I miss when this used to be a thing. I mean, it still kind of is, but only with some elderly people. Otherwise, I feel they're just about non-existent since everyone has a cell phone these days. Even kids who aren't fully trusted with a phone yet are given some kind of trashy, $20 emergency-only Tracphone by their parents (though I haven't seen one of those in a while, either). There's something to be said when your house phone is dying and you have to be all "ughhh my phone is dying, sorry gotta go ;___;" because you actually had to hang up the phone to charge it.
Yeah, dial-up is one of those "a bit nostalgic but definitely not something I miss at all" type of deals, lol. Not even because of slow speeds, but I loved being able to be booted off the internet because someone called the house. :') Much sarcasm. Yeah, my dad would forcibly do that (or get someone else to do that) at times. But it was warranted, since me and my siblings would absolutely dominate the line with internet when both he and my mom were at work. Oops.Dial-up internet - This. Enough said. Currently, I squeeze anywhere from 25Mbps to around 40Mbps from my current internet connection. When I was 10 or so though, My highest internet speed was like 26.5Kbps? Somewhere around that range, and I considered that fast. Though truth be told, this is not so much a thing that they'll miss, so much as a thing that they'll be disgustingly shocked by.
Gameboy was a huge part of my youth, and yet I had to take a few moments to even remember what that sound was. :(The orgasmic sound of a Gameboy turning on
