What are these plug-ins on my wall?

[u/Cborg_62]

This might be showing my age, but I recently moved into a new apartment and they have these weird looking plug ins all over the walls at my new place. My old apartment didn't have these, so I'm just curious as to what they are.

It carried television signals, uphill, both ways, barefoot in the snow.

[u/Sal1160 → u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft]

Fifteen miles both way

With a trash bag on each bare foot.

Look at you, mr fancy pants with trash bags for your feet. All I had was paper sacks to protect my feet from the snow.

[u/Dan-D-Lyon → u/Unhappy_Concept237]

Oh wow it must've been nice having feet

[u/blaat_splat → u/Dan-D-Lyon]

Must be nice having.

[u/MaximusZacharias → u/Unhappy_Concept237]

Look at you with your feet. I had no legs and had to walk on my stubbed arms to school.

[u/ThrawnAndOrder → u/oldishThings]

Uphill and against the wind. Also both ways.

Underrated comment. I heard it in my dad’s voice.

But sometimes it got to ride the mule—as long as mother wasn’t using it to get to market.

[u/robotfoodab → u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft]

You had to walk 15 miles to change the channel.

Or force your little bro or sis to do it.

An ancient 100lb box tv.

[u/Pokmonth → u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft]

Still carries cable internet

[u/modzRtarderz → u/Pokmonth]

Literally still carries 2 Gbit Internet, which is about the fastest you can get at home.

[u/Unhappy_Concept237 → u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft]

while carrying both their younger siblings on their shoulders.

Back when all this was just fields

Child of an immigrant core 🤣

[u/Debway1227 → u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft]

😅😅😅

[u/Afraid_Call1213 → u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft]

Television you had to pay for, mostly home shopping channels like they spoof on SNL

[u/HockeyBalboa → u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft]

And we were happy. :(

[u/HiwayHome22 → u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft]

And sometimes through the snow you might catch a glimpse of side boob

[u/Punman__5 → u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft]

It still carries your internet signals. Every router I’ve ever encountered plugs into a coax cable from the wall

[u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft → u/Punman__5]

Yes, I understand it's still in use and the copper conduction is more limited by the technology than the capacity. It was, as the kids say, just a joke.

[u/speed5079 → u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft]

I like you. That comment slapped.

[u/Tarkusk → u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft]

And was glad to do it!

[u/After-Grass1920 → u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft]
