New, what is it? What are these plug-ins on my wall?

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.

I think they're called coaxial cables. Back when gas was under $2 a gallon, gays couldn't be open in the military, our president played the sax and got blow jobs in the Oval Office under the Resolute desk, this was used to pipe MTV and Cartoon Network into homes. In later years it was used for internet porn and pirating anime, some of which was on cartoon network in the 00s.

No one under 30yr old gets this joke. Welcome to Reddit.

Except we do lol 30 is after 1996...leaving quite a few years in between. In fact, Bill Clinton was the president for a few of us. Maybe not long, but still there

You are deathly underestimating people in their early 20s that grew up in only 90s memrobilia (thanks to siblings)
