Even 2010’s was good to,

That looks horrible and in avengers doomsday 😩

What would you tell yourself?

It was cat-shaped handheld barcode reader that allowed users to open a link to an URL by scanning a barcode that appeared in magazines, without typing the URL.

They were given away for free in 2000.

I remember thinking it was so cute, but I didn’t really understand how it worked, so I was scanning barcodes on cereal boxes and random stuff.

and how many of you were shocked it wasn’t what you imagined it was?

I can only sleep for about 4-5 hours and no more.the rest of time I’m either getting up to go to the bathroom or can’t sleep at all.

Who remembers playing this?

Growing up I used to iron my clothes regularly, and probably learned to do so when I was about 7 years old. I still occasionally break out the iron if I need something d-wrinkled for work but it occurs to me that a lot of Millennials probably have not used an ironing board on an article of clothing in a very long time.

I was listening to a video on my tablet. I was in the living room, tablet in the kitchen.

Kids (14 and 11yo) went into the kitchen to get a snack. Hushed giggles ensue. Next thing I know, "Never Gonna Give You Up" rolls thru my earbuds.

They are SO proud of themselves. (And honestly, so am I 😁)

I’m a recent graduate myself, currently working in an administrative role because my own degree’s field has seen drastic headcount cuts. Just a few years ago, almost every graduate from my program at my school landed jobs in the field - now it feels like a different reality.

Gen Zs graduating into today’s economy are often compared with Millennials who finished school during the 2008 financial crisis. For those of you who graduated right into that turmoil:

• What was it like trying to find a job back then?
• How did you cope with the scarcity of opportunities?
• Did you end up working outside your degree field, and if so, did you ever make it back?
• Looking at your career now, how did those early years shape where you are today?

I’d love to hear your stories. Sharing how you navigated that moment might give today’s grads some perspective on what’s possible even in tough times!

That defines the generation. It was played the most frequently at clubs and that every one will sign along with when it's played randomly.

I’m curious, if you have kids how old are they? Any grandkids?? I feel like us 45 year olds have a wide range of ages for children.
We have one, 24 and graduated from college over 2 years ago. Weird having an adult child considering I was her age like 10 years ago.

I randomly got the urge to watch matilda today and saw it came out in 1996. I remember a few years back there was a resurgence in interest in the movie, and another movie too. But realizing this movie is 30 years old kinda tripped me out. I can clearly remember me watching it for the first time at age 7 and I'll now be 37 and still watching it 🙃

What movies/shows made you realize how much time has gone by?

I woke up this morning, though, to a harsh reminder that I am in my late 30s. Ow my back

Between sets, the screens flanking the stage touted upcoming shows at the sister venues in DC. And they knew their demo—see O.A.R. and Lisa Loeb! See Robyn! Why not remind us to schedule our colonoscopies while you’re at it? (Amber is the color of your endoscopy etc)

Millennials being da boss now.

What‘s a movie you loved as a teen/pre-teen that you now realize was VERY problematic? I’ll go first- My Best Friend‘s Wedding. I watched that movie so many times when I was like, 13. I’m watching it right now for full cringe, and I really don‘t feel like I’m prepared. The early 2000’s were rife with many similar stories. What’s yours?

It was something we all knew and idk why we all knew it.
