Everyone gets “The 90s” look wrong and I hate it
Couple years ago I saw these two board games at the store back to back. Well, not saw them per se, but ya know. Spied them out of the corner of my eye. And for a moment without reading the text, I couldn’t tell you which was which decade at first. Funny. Either they were in a rush to get these out the door or they wanted their throwback trivia game boxes to look uniform. I didn’t think too much of it.
Only, from then on I started seeing it MORE. Every time someone markets a 90s or 80s throwback…
Goddammit they’re identical! What??! How did we let this happen? As a 90s survivor and a designer, this drives me up a wall.
Look, I know I’m late to the party to complain about “the 90s look” when we’re just starting to get sick of the Y2K nostalgia train. But c’mon, the 90s were not The 80s: Part Two™
Trust me when I say that we weren’t all wearing neon trapezoids up until the year 2000. The 90s look being peddled is so specific to the tail end of the 80s and an early early part of the 90s - a part of the 90s when it wouldn’t stop being the 80s. This is Memphis design being conflated with the wrong decade.
Keep reading for a long ass graphic design history lesson and pictures of old soda and fast food.
they love apple more than god
This one love apple so much it went full harlot
When I was a kid in Chengdu, China, there’s a public phone number you could call to ask about general stuff like train schedule, the weather, phone numbers to businesses, etc. I thought I could ask them anything, so I once called the number and asked “do pineapples grow on trees or the ground?” and the operator, after a moment of silence, said “go ask your mom” and hung up.
#when it came to stuff like sports stats people liked to call the newspaper and ask the sports department#idk why#but one time a guy called and got my dad and asked him who won whatever game whenever#and my dad sighs heavily and goes ''fine hold on'' to lug out a binder or something#guy on the phone says to someone else in the room ''yeah i'm talking to somebody who REALLY loves his job.''#and my dad snapped ''actually it's NOT my job. i'm doing you a favor.''#guy was kind of meek after that
there's a tortoise at work and he's 30 years old and I love that he's 30 years old because I can look at this animal that is 3 years older than me and go "does the man want his appy slices??" and he hustles over cause the man do want his appy slices
somewhere a group of weird little girls is accidentally practicing a ritual that got forgotten 3000 years ago. brings me peace

just did my evil deed for the day (moved the bookmark in my dad's book back by one page)
my sister just walked into my room, showed me this post on her phone, and went "what is wrong with you?"
I don't care what people say. Drinking water is such a horrible experience if it's not ice cold and drunk immediately.
It can taste funny, smell funny...filtered or not.
I HATE drinking water because of this!!
My husband says "water doesn't have a taste". It absolutely does! Even the most neutral of waters has a taste and that taste is Water. We argue about it sometimes lol
Hubby gave me a cup of water for my pills last night and I grimaced cuz I could taste that it was from a slightly warm tap. I told him it tasted like heat. It wasn't hot. But I could taste the heat like bubbles.
He just stared at me and walked away. 😂
Sometimes, and i dont know why, but sometimes water randomly tastes like dirty sock water. Its gross and makes me gag. Water definitely has a taste and the taste varies and its annoying and gross.
My husband: It's just water. Water has no taste.
The entire Autistic Community: Fuck water!
My doctor told me a few years ago (before my autism dx) that "if you can taste water, you're probably hypersensitive to the metals and minerals in it. Let me guess, every single different place you get water from, maybe even different sinks in your house, it all tastes different, right? Yeah, you're tasting minerals that normally people can't taste. I can't really blame you for not drinking water when it probably tastes like licking rocks. The only thing I can really do to help is suggest you flavor your water with mio or powdered mix" and I would *not* be surprised to find out that autism increases your likelihood for sensitivity to that taste!
My roommate, autistic, hates our tap water. I, autistic, can absolutely tell the difference in taste. I agree that we can have the weirdest kinds of sensitivity that nobody believes.
I grew up on Brooklyn water and artisan well water and upstate NY water, then when I moved near DC, I went through months of feeling like the water had a vastly different taste - because it absolutely did.
Even my cats know it tastes different out of different taps. Water has a taste goddammit.
#wait do most people REALLY not taste it?????#i thought - deadass you guys this is gonna sound shitty but i really thought people who said that were just stupid#anyway i did unfortunately develop a super bougie taste in water#one day in high school i tasted a fiji water and realized water COULD taste good#now i think fiji is too sweet but evian is just right#i like evian cool not cold#my parents had one of those water dispensers on their fridge door and it was the first ''tap'' water i've ever enjoyed#i would just fill cups with it indefinitely#but their fridge broke and i'm not looking forward to tasting the new water#next time i visit
every time my bf says "for the time being" i respond with "for the time bean" and then we say "all hail the time bean" and carry on the conversation like nothing happened
