Post you from a different era.

The raver era.
An extremely grainy photo of a teenager with blue hair, a horizontally striped long-sleeved crop top, and a truly preposterous pair of denim phat pants. Like, 50+ inch diameter. Also lots of candy (bracelets) and for some reason a weird reflective sash?

I do not believe that you and your 1663 partners do value my privacy
A cookie banner that says “we value your privacy” with an “accept all” button. Below, there are three buttons “summary”, “purpose” and “1663 partners” There is no reject option and tracking is not opt in, at least in the spirit of the law. I can (and will) close the tab.

The final boss battle of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest when I was like… 7?. I was doing okay with the Dark King, until he turned into this horrifying tarantula thing.

Then I started crying and I think made my mom make my sister finish it for me?

An image of the New Caprica Police, wearing masks (balaclavas) due to their fear of being identified by the resistance for collaborating with an occupying force. The social share image from the linked article at 404 Media. It shows an ICE officer in camo and tactical gear, with a helmet, shaded Meta glasses, and a neck gaiter pulled up to his nose, obscuring his identity.

When your friends really, really know you
A post by u/Deusq in the r/tacobell subreddit I made a tool that finds the cheapest way to order Taco Bell using combo deals Over the past week, I reverse engineered Taco Bell's API and built a simple tool that takes the items you want and matches them with combo box deals to get you more Taco Bell for less money. Still a work in progress, but it works. *I make no money and did it for my fun/use* https://tacocents.com/ Please feel free to delete this post if it goes And a text underneath that says “Aki, that you?”

I had to take a photo, because there was no way on earth anyone in California would believe me that this is totally normal in Wisconsin.
Two products called “Kwikwich" at a Wisconsin convenience store. The sandwiches are made of a slice of salami surrounded by two slices of cheese. That’s the whole sandwich. Wisconsin™
