OMG I had that exact same toy when I was 10! I got it from the gift shop at the museum lol

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 56 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now it is on display in the same museum

To get the full effect they'll need to display it next to a pack of astronaut ice cream and some super cool geode rocks

even though i knew astronaut ice cream was bullshit, i was sad when i didn't get any but the others on the school trip did.

If it helps, it was fucking disgusting.

"This is a sample of astronaut ice cream sold in our museum in 1987. Visit our gift shop to purchase your very own astronaut ice cream."

They still make it! It looks even cheaper than it did in the 90s.

I was playing minecraft when I was 10.

I'm 22 now just in case you want to feel old.

When I was 10, all games looked like Minecraft's textures. And you can forget 3D. And the controllers were square-edged bricks that left stinging blisters in your sweaty palms after 12 hours of Super Mario 3. And the flickering CRT leaving your eyes dry as a desert with a pounding headache. Those were the days let me tell you.

But you know what we also had? Instant loading times, no waiting on updates, and no lootboxes.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You can still play minecraft today ;D And yes i play too :) ( On the LW mc server :D )

[–] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

It was either that or Hungry Hungry Hippos

[–] Mighty@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Omg guys. I'm probably a lot older than you and even I don't post these boomer memes of "back in my day" bullshit.

[–] xrellx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a you problem

I just imagine his line tick-tock-tick-tocking back and forth while Imogen desperately tries changing from a gorilla into a cat to catch the canary.
