1995… The peak of humanity. Industrial clubs everywhere, fun cheap bars, bright clothes, danceable music, computers you still had a chance of understanding somewhat, home appliances and lightbulbs didn’t need firmware updates or spy on you, affordable housing and groceries, relative worldwide peace…
I think I’d burst into tears if I saw this sign IRL
So, a white bread is USD0.77?
I don’t expect places to have wifi. If only phones had their own way of connecting to the internet.
Do people really want wifi these days? Why would i trust some random sketchy wifi if my own phone has a plan with >5gb.
If you put this passive agressive bullshit up ima gonna smoke indoors and pay 25c for my drink.
Maybe drink too much, assault a woman and call the bartender the f slur. Feeling cute.
What the fuck is the f slur? Other than fuck
Everyone was wrong.
whispers
It’s “French”.
I think it’s the one that rhymes with Taggart. And is another word for a bassoon.
Is faggart like a new slur? Or do you just have questionable rhyming skills?
Taggart sounds more like maggot than fan-art. Two example pronunciations here, the first closer to the latter but I think the second sounds closer to maggot: https://youtu.be/pb0CEn5YiIQ?t=94
Seems like an American thing to pronounce it “tag-arrrr-t”.
Gonna start calling my gay artist friend a faggart now thanks.
Imagine a bundle of sticks all rolled together….
Fascist?
Same thing. Check the mussolini party
But what why would they be riding their loud motorcycles in a coffee shop?
“Faggot”, slur used for homosexual men.
also queer people in general
But people in the real world don’t like talking to me.
I never use any public WiFi on my phone, why would you use wifi like it’s 2005?
I didn’t like talking to other people in 1995, and I sure as hell aren’t going to start enjoying it now.
What do you want me to act like my kin circa 1995? Because if so you may want to get out of the way cause I’ve got a weed sprayer filled with diesel and a little cigarette!
“Here’s the $0.85 for the coffee, thanks!”
Your welcome! Enjoy your styrofoam cup coffee from a deli that smells of Malboro cigarettes. The sugar has weird moving black things and milk has been left out for 3 days.
ohfuckyes
I’m sold
I never understood why Starbucks became big in the US, but I always assumed it was something like that.
It’s actually because they started offering syrup filled, whip cream and caramel covered drinks directly on the menu. They were briefly infamous for like 1000 calorie macchiatos.
Little espresso shops had flavor shots before, but the rest were pretty much donut shops that sold regular utility coffee, and the sugar and fat was external (donuts sandwiches and pastries).
Remember playing pool in the 90s, I didn’t even smoke but I feel I will have copd.
When my family goes out we usually have to put our phones away. It was my rule, but now I break my own rules and my kids have to tell me to put my phone away. I guess my kids are better than me now.
Sure, go back to a time where you might have to fight for your life just for wearing the wrong t-shirt out of Blur and Oasis (Pulp btw).
This sign goes hard in countries that belonged to former Yugoslavia.
“Do u think y2k is gonna happen?,”
I don’t know but I’ve been stockpiling canned food in my basement and I bought a portable toilet just in case.
Portable … toilet?
I too own a bucket.
Porta potty/ porta john
Outhouse on the go
Rolling stench box
Close the fucking lid so it vents right
this made me look up “bucket toilet” and actually you can very much make an actual toilet like that, which is good to know.
big bucket, plastic bags, some sawdust in the bag, and a toilet seat ontop.
Why not just hold the bag and poop directly into it? You can save on all that other stuff and you can do it anywhere. Even better: just shit on the ground. It’s the end-times, it’s fine.
because that’s gross?
Agree to disagree.
i hate phones
(i have no other comment.)
Depending on the country, paying like it’s 1995 would be the best power move. Here’s, dunno, 100 francs? 5 marks?
Oh yes. If you’re a Dutch soldier you even get free drinks, and it only costs your honor.
Happy 30th anniversary. Cheers to the Dutch Army.
Happy 30th anniversary
Almost to the day - it was July 11th 1995.
what am I missing? why is the picture titled the toast of shame?
The most striking image yet to emerge from the fall of Srebrenica comes in a BBC film to be screened next week. It shows the indicted Serb war criminal General Radko Mladic presenting the commander of the UN peacekeeping force at Srebrenica, Colonel Ton Karremans of Holland, with gifts wrapped in Christmas paper. Mladic was evidently in a expansive mood and he had good reason to be: at that very moment his troops were preparing to massacre the 4,000 men and boys who the UN had handed over to him.
https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/1999/nov/17/features11
In the middle is luitenant kolonel Thom Karremans, leader of the Dutchbatt peacekeeping force near Srebrenica, to the left is Ratko Mladic the last of the Serbian forces.
Mladic promised the to let there population of the enclave to go free, and Karremans believed him.
They were slaughtered instead.
A million lire for a coffe? What a steal
