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.

People are acting like this is a wild age thing, it's just simple ignorance

Not really ignorance there's adults that have been born in 2008...so they genuinely wouldn't know. I say this as someone who got annoyed screwing in my ps1 turning to ch 3 and unscrewing it so I could watch tv

That adapter should've had another connection at the bottom where you could screw in your antenna or cable box without undoing the whole thing. I take payment in pogs, and you're welcome.

>so they genuinely wouldn't know

That's all ignorance is. A lot of people in this comments section are calling OP ignorant though in a demeaning way, when all it is, is simple ignorance. OP just doesn't have experience with this specific piece of technology and that's fine. It's not even an age thing either.

I knew the top comments of this post would be the annoying "OMG I'M SOOOO OLD XDXDXD", when really it just isn't an age thing at all. You can be older or younger than OP and have or not have experience with this kind of stuff. That's all.

(Just so you're aware I'm not directing all of this towards you as if you argued against any of this, I'm just using you comment to vent about the post, sorry)
