"special purpose"

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

And what exactly is that line pointing to..?

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

This looks more 90s to me than 80s.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 day ago

The shorts and fanny pack point to right around 1992.

[-] RustyShackleford@literature.cafe 22 points 2 days ago

Why are they pointing to the kids junk and saying, “special purpose”?

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

I think it's supposed to be for the pad around the bar. But they definitely didn't catch that in editing.

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Is this a "the jerk" reference?

[-] Doolbs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I definitely was not AWESOME!. When i had the money I bought a ten-speed from K-Mart.

You ever take it off any sweet jumps?

I'm living in Denmark, so if bikes are cool, I'm living in one of the coolest places on earth

Netherlands has entered the chat

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I didn't say "the coolest" just one of them.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Now, FIGHT!

Toooobular

[-] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 5 points 2 days ago

10 speed... Was this actually 80s?

2 x 5 I'd guess, hard to see but that shifter box seems to have to knobs and the right one has 5 marks

[-] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 6 points 2 days ago

Silly me. I was thinking single at the front. Thank you!

[-] Cobrachicken@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I remember wanting to have one of these shifter boxes then, so most probably yes.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I have the urge to bully this kid

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Like you could catch him!

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

I wish I had that awesome fanny pack!
